Studies

Key enzymes of critical points in the pathways will be targeted for disruption by the generation of RNAi cell lines and lines which drive tetracycline-regulatable ectopic over expression of either wild type enzyme or, if appropriate, dominant-negative or mis-targeted mutants of these. In all cases perturbed lines will be analysed with respect to the mRNA, protein or enzymatic activities of other components of the subsystem, this being directed iteratively by the predictions from systems modelling. ...
