MR Biochemical analysis of the rNMP incorporation properties of the yeast mtDNA polymerase Mip1 (Juhan Sedman)

Yeast mitochondrial research group

Mitochondria are organelles that have their own genomic DNA. We are interested in the mechanisms by which the mitochondrial genome is propagated during the cell cycle.

MR ribosoomi uurimisgrupi päis3 (Jaanus Remme)

Ribosome, RNA modifications and protein synthesis research group

We are interested on the fundamental aspects of protein biosynthesis. In this respect we use E. coli as a model system. We study functional topography of the bacterial ribosome. In addition, we analyz

MR äädikakärbsed LT-Tulf-171 (Mariana Tulf)

Drosophila metabolism research group

. Mitochondrion is best known as the major site of ATP synthesis, but it is also involved in many other metabolic processes, e.g. synthesizing a number of metabolites that are important for various cellular processes.

Bacterial and yeast proteins research group

We are using efficient expression systems to produce heterologous proteins from pro- and eukaryotic organisms in Escherichia coli. We have expressed glucoside hydrolases (e.g. levansucrases, α-glucosi

Bacteriophage research group

The research focuses on the stringent response of bacteria. Stringent response is a universal mechanism in bacteria to survive stress. It is governed by the alarmone (p)ppGpp that is produced by RSH (RelA-SpoT homologue) enzymes. When the level of (p)ppGpp in cells increases, the growth of bacteria decreases, which helps them survive stressful conditions.
