BISC 310 - Advanced Topics in Cellular Regulation with Laboratory

Institution:

Wellesley College

Subject:

Description:

Hood-DeGrenier Eukaryotic cells possess a diverse array of molecular circuits that regulate their normal activities and respond to external signals. Common modes of regulation include modulation of protein expression or localization, covalent protein modifications, and protein-protein interac-tions. This course will examine the molecular mechanisms that regulate processes such as cell division, cell differentiation, stress res-ponses, and others, in a format that combines lectures and student presentations of current literature articles. A semester-long investiga-tive laboratory project will focus on a particular regulatory pathway using the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model organ-ism.
