Project description:To study the effects of aldosterone on miRNA in the kidney cortical collecting duct, polarized mpkCCDc14 cell were treated with aldosterone or vehicle. A putative target for miR-466g was identified, the effect of modulating miR-466g levels on SGK1 levels was examined
Project description:NEDD4-2 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in the regulation of several membrane proteins. This project was designed to identify new NEDD4-2-regulated substrates in the mouse cortical collecting duct cell line.
Project description:We profiled SUMO1 and SUMO2 modified proteins in cortical collecting duct (mpkCCD) as a precursor to targeted approaches to assess SUMO function. SUMO levels in cells following heat shock and treatment with deSUMOylation inhibitors were assessed.
