Scientific Abstract

Phosphorylation is a well-known regulatory mechanism of MTOC activity at the centrosome. In contrast, it is unknown, whether non-centrosomal MTOCs are also regulated by phosphorylation. We aim at determining how phosphorylation is utilized to regulate MTOC formation at the nuclear envelope. For this, we will examine a potential role of candidate enzymes derived from preliminary data as well as utilize screening approaches to identify novel regulators of nuclear envelope MTOC formation.
