Sidney Altman, Sterling Professor of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, has been awarded a three-year Focused Giving Grant by Johnson & Johnson to support his work on coordinated regulation of the protein subunits of RNaseP in HeLa Cells.
Altman received the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1989 for his work on RnaseP, demonstrating that RNA as well as protein can have catalytic properties. The RNaseP enzyme in mammals contains at least 10 protein subunits in addition to the RNA subunit.
Understanding how to affect the expression of multiple genes in a coordinated manner has important implications for many basic biological functions and disease treatments.
