Biology 483 - Intracellular Transport

Institution:

Colgate University

Subject:

Description:

K. Belanger Most macromolecules expressed in cells must be targeted to specific intracellular locations where they can perform their intended functions. This research tutorial examines the mechanism by which specific proteins undergo regulated transport into and out of the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. Students use classical and molecular genetics to identify genes encoding proteins involved in nuclear transport, and utilize recombinant DNA techniques, biochemistry, and microscopy to characterize the newly identified proteins and their interactions with other nuclear transport factors. Students read and discuss primary literature examining intracellular transport and describe the results of their laboratory research in oral and poster presentations at the end of the semester. Prerequisite: permission of instructor.
