BISC 310 - Advanced Topics in Cellular Regulation

Hood-DeGrenier

Eukaryotic cells possess a diverse array of molecular circuits that regulate their normal activities and respond to external signals. Common modes of regulation include modulation of protein expression or localization, covalent protein modifications, and protein-protein interactions. This course will rely heavily on current literature and student presentations to examine the molecular mechanisms that regulate such processes as cell division, DNA repair, stress responses, cell differentiation, and immune responses. Laboratory experiments will investigate several regulatory pathways using budding yeast as a model organism.
