CRC 1348 - A01: The role of protein-lipid interactions for protein segregation in the yeast plasma membrane
Basic data for this project
Type of project: Subproject in DFG-joint project hosted at University of Münster
Duration at the University of Münster: 01/01/2026 - 31/12/2029 | 3rd Funding period
Description
Lateral segregation is a prerequisite for the regulation and function of proteins in biological membranes. Our project examines the role of cooperative protein-lipid interactions in the formation of elaborate patterns in the yeast plasma membrane (PM). We combine experimental manipulations with complex molecular simulations to study the role of trans-bilayer asymmetry, in particular of sterols, sphingolipids and phosphatidylserine, for lateral PM organization.
