Abstract

Cells must be able to respond to changes in their environment. In the case of advanced, multicellular organisms such as ourselves this may mean changes in energy (food) supply, changes due to injury or damage due to exposure to toxic chemicals. Higher organisms have evolved a complex array of `signal relay¿ systems to detect and respond to such changes and in many cases this involves changes in gene expression. In this project we will seek to understand how some of these signals are `translated¿ to influence the expression of genes. Such mechanisms are certainly important to the normal functioning of the cell but may also contribute to changes in cellular function that underpin certain forms of disease.
