Integration of Substrate Oxidation with Protein Synthesis and Cellular Signaling in a Complex Biological System


EMSL Project ID
49688

Abstract

These investigations will explore the complex interactions involved in cellular metabolism, protein synthesis, and cell signaling. We will use complex models to link intra-cellular regulatory networks that control the response of cells to their environment. First, we will perform studies on the neonatal pig heart in vivo. The neonatal heart in particular provides an excellent model for all cell systems as it undergoes rapid growth through cell proliferation and expansion and adapts to quickly to physiological changes. These studies will have broad applications to protein synthesis, cellular signaling and metabolomics extending past our mammalian heart model. Regulation of these pathways is relatively conserved through evolution. Therefore, the defined principles and techniques will be applicable to metabolomics, protein synthesis and cellular signaling in microbes with specific EMSL interest.
