Deciphering specific roles for the common Arnt proteins in bHLH/PAS transcription factor complexes [ 2014 - 2017 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Murray Whitelaw (Principal investigator) ,  A/Pr Daniel Peet

Brief description Understanding the precise control of neuronal genes related to appetite and obesity, and neuropsychiatric disorders and dementia, is complicated by some gene regulating proteins having highly related sequences. This project will eludcidate how two closely related proteins can determine specific target gene outputs, information important for designing methods to control activities of neurological disease related genes within cells.
