Funded Activity Summary

Role of the proteasome in eradication of misfolded proteins in fungal cell factories. Filamentous fungi contribute to the well being of modern society as surrogate hosts for the synthesis of vaccines, hormones and enzymes for their application to health, agriculture, industry and the environment. However, attempts to express foreign proteins to the full potential of a given system have been disappointing. It is vital to understand unexplored molecular and physiological factors such as protein quality control in the cell to take advantage of the global opportunities that recombinant gene expression indisputably offers in the form of unrestricted supply of proteins of social and economic value. The project will create novel IP and licensing opportunities for Australia.
