Master Position in Plant Molecular Biology
vor 1 Woche
A Master Thesis position is available in the Bachmair group at the Max Perutz Labs, starting February 2025. Focus of the Bachmair lab lies on the biochemical and cell biological analysis of protein turnover driven by amino-terminal degradation signals. Protein turnover pathways are important for plant responses to environmental stimuli such as heat, flooding, or salt stress. Additional information can be found on the Bachmair lab web page.
- Open since Dec 11, 2024
**Master Thesis topics and about the position**
Investigation of plant ubiquitin ligases via model substrates - expression vectors for novel types of reporters, tandem fluorescent timer (tFT) proteins, shall be constructed. The tFT reporter proteins serve to investigate tissue-specific turnover and subcellular localization of metabolically unstable proteins in plants (test by transient expression in tobacco leaves, then stable expression in Arabidopsis).
Investigation of plant ubiquitin ligases via proximity labeling - the putative plant ubiquitin ligase BIG is a protein larger than 500 kDa, and while many phenotypes have been identified in mutant plants, the molecular functions are poorly understood. A fusion of the BIG gene with the in vivo biotinylation enzyme Turbo-ID shall be made via a novel cloning approach and expressed in Arabidopsis to identify proteins that associate with BIG in the plant.
**Requirements**: Finished study (B. Sc.) in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry or related, 45 ECTS accomplished in the Master module
**Duration**: max. 12 months
**Payment**: according to FWF rates
