We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Borg Regulation and Mammalian Septin Function @ University of Virginia Charlottesville
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Cdc42, a member of the Rho subfamily of Ras GTPases, is involved in a number of biological pathways, such as cell growth and differentiation, actin cytoskeleton dynamics, and cell motility. To understand how Cdc42 can control these widely different processes, the effector pathways it activates must be examined. One such pathway that has not been extensively studied is Cdc42's activation of the Borg family of proteins. This proposal will examine the mechanisms of Borg regulation and how this regulation impacts on a family of known Borg binding proteins, the mammalian Septins. Specific aim #1 will identify potential signaling pathways involved in Borg regulation, focusing on my recent discovery that Borgs are phosphorylated in vivo. This aim will be accomplished by determining the site(s) phosphorylated on Borgs, the signal transduction cascades that stimulate Borg phosphorylation, and the effect of overexpressing Borg phosphorylation site mutants on its localization and on cell morphology. Specific aim #2 will build on the knowledge obtained in aim #1 to examine the role of Borgs in Septin organization and function. Septins can interact with one another to form filaments. The effect of Borg phosphorylation on its binding to Septins, Septin organization in the cell, and Septin control of cytokinesis will be examined.
