Determination of the proteome of drosophila lipid droplets

Lead Institution
University of California, Irvine
Principal Investigator
Steven Gross
Project type
Exploratory Research
My research goal is to understand the way molecular motors such as kinesin and dynein move cargos in vivo. To investigate this, I have developed a model system, the bi-directional transport of lipid…

A proteomic investigation of changes in lipid droplet-bound proteins

Lead Institution
University of California, Irvine
Principal Investigator
Steven Gross
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
Lipid droplets are the body's major location for storing fat to be later used as energy. As such, understanding the regulated function of these droplets is an essential part of understanding…

Investigating Post-translational modifications of kinesin

Lead Institution
University of California, Irvine
Principal Investigator
Steven Gross
Project type
Exploratory Research
Molecular motor-based transport is essential for numerous cellular functions, and much of it is carried out by the molecular motor kinesin. Impaired or altered kinesin function is implicated in many…
