Seminar

Date: Monday 2 December 2024

Time: 15.00 – 16.00

Location: Vivi Täckholmsalen

By:

Per Ljungdahl, MBW, Stockholm University

Title:

"The mystery of membrane protein biogenesis from the perspective of a specialized ER membrane-localized chaperonea"

Research group

Group Ljungdahl

Amino acids are essential nutrients that serve as building blocks of proteins and some are efficiently metabolized for energy. Eukaryotic cells respond to extracellular amino acids by enhancing their uptake. We study the molecular mechanisms underlying this response and the role of amino acid metabolism in promoting virulent growth of human fungal pathogens.
