Funded Activity Summary

To investigate the role of the protein kinase SMG-1 in the stress response. This project is included in the designated priority area of research Promoting and Maintaining Good Health and Ageing Well. It represents a mouse model to assist in the study of human disease. It is the first mouse model for SMG-1, a protein kinase that protects against a variety of different forms of stress. The strength of the model is that it can be combined with other mouse models to interrogate and elucidate the events occurring in different pathways for stress. The expectation is that ground-breaking data will be generated with this model providing scientific leadership on the role of this protein. It will also assist in establishing new collaborations.
