Arsenic-induced protein aggregation and toxicity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(2022-08-29)Arsenic is prevalent in the environment and this toxic metalloid poses a substantial threat to human health with 100-200 million people worldwide estimated to be at risk. Chronic exposure to arsenic is associated with ... -
Defining the pathways involved in spatial protein quality control in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(2022-11-21)Proteins need to be folded into specific three-dimensional conformations to be functional. An extensive network of factors, the protein quality control (PQC) machinery, ensures that the cell maintains a healthy proteome ... -
The Genetics of Adaptation and Evolvability in Yeast
(2022-10-18)Evolution is the hereditary change in life forms that has shaped the divergence of all organisms that inhabit planet Earth. I used the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to study how adaptive evolution increases the fitness ...
