The molecular mechanism of retromer and sorting nexin function in endosomal membrane trafficking

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The proposed research represents breakthrough science that will lead to a fundamental understanding at the molecular level of the structure and assembly of the retromer complex and how it regulates sorting of receptors in the endosomal system. It will provide excellent research training for top graduate students and post-doctoral scientists in multidisciplinary methods that constitute state-of the-art structural and molecular cell biology research. By addressing an area of great interest internationally the project will have the capacity to increase Australia's knowledge base and strengthen it's reputation for research excellence.
