PhD thesis committee meeting presentation

Slide 1

Slide 2

Year one

In this slide I will give a short outline of the presentation

As could be seen from the title - focus is on Proteostasis in aging and stress.

Actually there is a whole range of question of interest - Starting from

BIG questions:

How important is the proteostasis in the process of aging? ; What comes first - changes in proteostasis that causes aging, or aging causing changes in proteostasis?

Medium rank questions

How important is proteasome in proteostasis network? ; Are there any changes in the behaviour of proteasome during aging? Changes in the behaviour of proteasome upon exposure to stress? - What is the importance of this to Aging?

Highly specific questions

What are the interactors of 19s subunit of proteasome in physiological conditions?

Hopefully as my PhD progresses, my experiments will enable me to address questions higher and higher up this list.

Aim (goal) of the 1st year of my PhD:

Develop a method for detection of proteasome interactors.

Why is that important?

It will allow me to address some of the questions mentioned on the previous slide ,

Establishing the technique(proximity dependent biotinylation)

APEX

Validating the technique

BioID

Validating the technique

Apply it to model system and answering specific questions about proteasome

Apply it to model system and answering specific questions about mitochondria proteome

Intro(PN, PN in aging, conventional methods of PPI detection, methods of PPI detection based on proximity biotinylation.

BioID

BioID Validation

BioID Application

APEX

APEX Validation

APEX Application

Future Plans

Slide 3

Improvements to the techniques

Future questions to address

Proteostase and AGING

Slide 4

Classical vs Proximity biotinylation dependent techniques of PPI detection
