Tryptophan confers resistance to SDS-associated cell membrane stress in Saccharomyces cerevisiae https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0199484
International Chlamydomonas Meeting was held in Washington DC. Noriko and Amy presented our work on DNA replication control in green algae.
Stephen, a Ph.D. student from CUNY Biochemistry program, joined our lab. He will study cell size in budding yeast.
We welcomed our new lab member, Noriko Ueki, as a post-doc. She will study DNA replication and cell cycle using Chlamydomonas. Noriko obtained Ph.D. at University of Tokyo in the laboratory of Dr. Ritsu Kamiya.
This image shows how cells send the signal generated from damaged membrane and activate cell cycle checkpoint.
A review paper titled “A new cell cycle checkpoint that senses plasma membrane/cell wall damage in budding yeast” was accepted by BioEssays (update 3/4/2017).
Molecular and Cell Biology Technique course (7150G): We offer 7150G course every fall semester to Master students. We will perform genetic screenings to identify new targets of GSK-3 kinase.
A paper titled ” Plasma membrane/cell wall perturbation activates a novel cell cycle checkpoint during G1 in S. cerevisiae“ was accepted by PNAS. (update 5/4/2016)
