Preliminary scope of work
Práce bude zaměřena zejména na charakteristiku organel u prvoků adaptovaných k životu s minimálním přístupem kyslíku, se zaměřením na metabolické změny mitochondrií volně žijícího zástupce skupiny Metamonada – Hexamita inflata a příbuzných parazitických prvoků. Genom Hexamita inflata byl recentně analyzován ve spolupráci s laboratoří Staffana Svärda v Uppsale se kterým budeme dále spolupracovat. Pro tento organismus bychom chtěli zavést transfekční systém pro expresi rekombinantních proteinů k jejich lokalizaci a optimalizovat metody buněčné frakcionace pro proteomické analýzy.
Preliminary scope of work in English
The work will be focused mainly on the characteristics of organelles in protists adapted to life with minimal access to oxygen, with focus on metabolic changes in the mitochondria of a free-living representative of the group Metamonada - Hexamita inflata and related parasitic protists. The genome of Hexamita inflata was recently analyzed in collaboration with Staffan Svärd's laboratory in Uppsala, with whom we will continue to collaborate. For this organism, we would like to establish a transfection system for the expression of recombinant proteins and their cellular localization, and to optimize cell fractionation methods for proteomic analyses.
