Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Proteins which are destined for export out of the cell or intergration into membrnes are insereted during their synthesis in the cell cytosol into the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Professor High has developed a method by which molecular mechanisms of protein insertion into the ER membrane can be inverstigated. Now, he wants to elucidate the mechnism by which a cell controls the quality of the proteins inserted into a membrane. This process is important as misfolded proteins are not transported to their place of function. Cystic fibrosis is, for instance, a disease by which a protein of the plasma membrane gets stuck in the ER membrane and is, therefore, not able to perform its function in the plasma membrane.
