A postdoctoral research associate position is available in the lab of Tanja Mittag. Project Description: The Mittag lab invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to work on structures of the tumor suppressor and ubiquitin ligase component SPOP. We have recently solved the first cryo-EM structures of full-length SPOP (Cuneo et al. Mol Cell 2023), and they have revealed interfaces that had not recently been observed in structures of smaller constructs. Importantly, these interfaces are lined with cancer mutations whose molecular mechanisms were not previously understood, but now provide molecular explanations for pathophysiological mechanisms. We have also revealed that certain mutations lead to large changes in quaternary assembly. The project provides opportunities for characterizing structures of SPOP complexes with additional ligase subunits and of disease mutants with altered structures. The implications of these structural changes will be characterized via...
