RESEARCHER IV - (T213779)

Description

 

The University of Alabama at Birmingham, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, is seeking a Researcher IV. Our laboratory studies the molecular mechanisms of DNA replication and cell cycle progression in eukaryotes. DNA replication in eukaryotes is a highly conserved process that begins with the binding of the six-subunit origin recognition complex (ORC) to the origins of DNA replication. ORC binds to origin sites and helps recruit additional initiation factors to form pre-replicative complex (pre-RC) thus 'licensing' origin for replication. Many studies indicate that the functions of ORC extend beyond DNA replication. Some of these activities link DNA replication to cell cycle progression, whereas other functions seem distinct from replication. How ORC accurately executes its multiple roles during normal cell cycle and in disease, remain long-standing question in the field.
