Funding Amount
$729,571.00
Summary
We seek to understand the mechanisms by which genes are switched on and off throughout our lifetime. A number of multi-component protein machines are involved in this process but their make-up and mechanism of action is not understood. We will investigate the structure and function of one of these machines that has been strongly linked to cancer.

Platelet Glycoprotein Proteolysis: Novel Mechanisms And Risk Factors
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$441,473.00
Summary
Platelets are the richest source of amyloid precursor protein (APP) in the body. Platelet ADAM10 regulates both the expression and function of the major platelet collagen receptor GPVI, and protective APP processing. Coagulation protein Factor X has a role in activation of ADAM10. This activation is disrupted in blood that has been treated with direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) rivaroxaban. This grant will investigate the implications for people taking rivaroxaban on regulation of APP and GPVI.
