MitoKIN - Systematic barcoding of kinase-controlled mitochondrial function

FFG


MitoKIN: FFG BRIDGE 1

  • FFG BRIDGE 1 30. Call - Project No. 877163, University of Innsbruck, Institute of Biochemistry
  • Duration: 36 months extended additional 12 months
  • Start: 2020-02-03

About MitoKIN

Led by the Institute of Biochemistry at the University of Innsbruck, the MitoKIN project aims to connect specific/broad kinase activities to precise metabolic functions (mitochondria) relevant for cell proliferation or survival. Applied inhibitors could then be used to barcode involved kinase pathways that change the metabolome by boosting or preventing mitochondrial functions.

Aims

The MitoKIN project has three major aims:
1. Impact of specific/general kinase inhibition on metabolism & mitochondrial function.
2. Perturbation of PKA signaling in cancer cells (high cAMP levels).
3. Perturbation of PKA signaling in neurodegenerative disease models (low cAMP levels).
