Funded Activity Summary

Sensing atmosphere: Understanding the HNOX-protein gas-sensing capability and how it is affected by heme-oxidation. The project investigates how gas sensing heme-proteins from the novel HNOX (Heme-Nitric Oxide) family are able to discriminate between different gaseous ligands such as O2 and NO and how oxidation of the heme alters this response. The gas-sensing capability of the HNOX proteins is crucial for organisms ranging from bacteria to humans. Thus, understanding of these signalling mechanisms will have a strong impact on many scientific fields from the control of pathogen growth to human blood pressure regulation. This collaboration will establish Australian scientists and as world-leading in the field of NO and redox signalling. This development will also be of substantial benefit for the training of the next generation of Australian students and scientists.
