Establishing a common function for ferlin proteins in membrane fusion using novel genetic code expansion and single molecule techniques.
Dynein light chain 8 (LC8) interacts with intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and influences a wide range of biological processes. It is becoming apparent that among the numerous IDPs that interact with LC8, many contain multiple LC8-binding sites.

After a sudden and disappointing end to a phenomenal season, award-winning point guard Mikayla Pivec has left a legacy at Oregon State that will be remembered long after she graduates.
Amidst the challenges of a global pandemic, the Inspiration Dissemination podcast will strive to be an avenue of human connection and inspiration.
A proposal for a newly defined category of hub proteins, the LMB-hubs, and a concise method of classification.
“Dopamine is commonly referred to as the ‘feel-good chemical,’ due to a pathway called the mesolimbic dopamine system—the most important reward pathway in the brain,” said Dr. Kevin Ahern, Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics at OSU
In this work, we examine the molecular role LC8 plays in viral lethality. We show that RavP and LC8 colocalize in rabies infected cells, and that LC8 interactions are essential for efficient viral polymerase functionality.
