We aim to dissect the interplay between metabolism and major signalling pathways, with the emphasis on Notch signalling pathway.

 

Project: Metabolic stress as regulator of Notch signalling

The Notch pathway has been described in several contexts to regulate glycolytic as well as mitochondrial metabolism (including paper from our lab Slaninova V, Open Biology, 2016). At the same time, recent evidence suggest that Notch pathway activity is sensitive to the cell metabolic parameters, such as the NAD:NADH ratio, amino acid availability or activity of metabolism related signalling pathway such as mTOR (Horvath M, Biochem J, 2016 and our current paper in preparation). We investigate this interplay using Drosophila wing disc, eye disc and immune system as models. The theme of the postdoc/PhD project will be directed to identification of binding sites for a previsouly unknown Notch targeted transcription factor that mediates crosstalk between Notch signalling, metabolism and immunity.

Applicant: Applicant should have a degree in molecular or cellular biology. Previous experience with Drosophila, molecular biology techniques and/or confocal microscopy is welcome.

Position: Postdoc offer includes a fixed contract till end of 2019 with the possibility of extension. PhD position is a part of the 4-year PhD program at the Department of molecular biology and genetics, University of South Bohemia. More details of the Department at http://www.prf.jcu.cz/en/kmb
