U.S.-France Cooperative Research: Exotoxins as Tools in Delineating the Role of Rab5 in Endocytosis

* 9603091斯塔尔 这两年的美国奖-法国细胞生物学合作研究涉及 华盛顿大学的菲利普斯塔尔和蒙彼利埃大学的米歇尔维达尔 二. 该奖项为斯塔尔博士和一名博士后提供旅费和生活费 研究员 本研究的目的是探讨rab 5，a 低分子量的GT酶调节内吞作用和吞噬作用。 这些 是细胞结合和内化营养物质、生物活性肽和 毒素、物质和粒子。 美国调查人员在这次合作中 在体外核内体和吞噬体融合方面的专业知识。 这一点得到了 法国研究人员对外毒素的研究经验。 ***

*** 9603091 Stahl This two-year award for U.S.-France cooperative research in cellular biology involves Phillip Stahl at Washington University and Michel Vidal at the University of Montpellier II. The award provides travel support and living expenses to Dr. Stahl and a postdoctoral researcher. The objective of the research is to investigate the mechanism by which rab5, a low molecular weight GTPase (enzyme) regulates endocytosis and phagocytosis. These are processes by which cells bind and internalize nutrients, biologically active peptides and toxins, substances and particles. The U.S. investigators bring to this collaboration expertise in in vitro endosome and phagosome fusion. This is complemented by the French investigator's experience with exotoxins. ***
