Description : Role of APM1 and interacting proteins in root meristem maintenance and seedling establishment
The Peer lab group studies seedling establishment, meristem maintenance, and the role of small molecule regulators in these processes. A single copy gene encoding a member of the M1 family of zinc metallopeptidases, Aminopeptidase M1 (APM1) regulates root meristem maintenance in Arabidopsis and is required for normal root development (Peer et al, 2009). APM1 is a dual-function protein with enzymatic and cellular trafficking/protein interaction activities. We have several apm1 alleles with mutations that affecting the enzymatic activity and the trafficking/protein-protein interactions independently. APM1-interacting proteins have been identified, some of which have similar phenotypes to APM1 loss-of-function mutants, suggesting targets of APM1acitivity. The successful candidate will have opportunities to lead and develop his or her area of research by combining his/her expertise with those of the group and establish his/her own field. The applicant should have a Ph.D. or equivalent in biology or related discipline. Experience in some or all of the following disciplines is desirable: genetics in model systems, molecular biology, and/or biochemistry. Interested individuals should email a letter of inquiry stating research interests along with a CV to Wendy Peer (peer@purdue.edu).
Purdue University is an Equal Access/Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. Women and individuals of underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply.
