Detailed analysis of the phyiological relevance of lysine methylation

THESIS TOPIC PROPOSAL

Institute: Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest
biology
Doctoral School of Biology

Thesis supervisor: Éva Schád
Location of studies (in Hungarian): Institute of Enzymology, Research Centre for Natural Sciences
Abbreviation of location of studies: ELKH


Description of the research topic:

The aim of the project is the collection of proteins that are methylated on lysine residues and the building and detailed analysis of a database. Through the analysis we aim to characterize the biological functions of the proteins that are lysine methylated and the connection of lysine methylation with different diseases, like cancers. We will also use the collected data to identify new targets of the known lysine methyltransferase enzymes and provide accurate sequential parameters of substrate recognition. The PhD project relies exclusively on bioinformatics work, therefore the basic level programming knowledge is essential for the acceptance of the candidates.

Required language skills: English
Further requirements: 
Advanced level molecular biology, Basic programming skills, basic Linux knowledge. Experience in Perl programming is an advantage.

Number of students who can be accepted: 1

Deadline for application: 2024-05-31
