Ivan Dikic group

 

  • Ivan Dikic was born and brought up in Zagreb, Croatia, where he was trained as a medical doctor, he obtained his PhD in molecular biology from the University of Zagreb while working under the supervision of Joseph Schlessinger at New York University Medical Center, USA.  
    He became a Group Leader at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, Uppsala, Sweden moving to Frankfurt in 2002.
    He is currently a Professor and Director of Institute of Biochemistry II at the Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany and the Director of the Frankfurt Institute for Molecular life Sciences (FMLS).
    He also holds a Guest Professorship at the University of Split, Croatia and is an Adjunct Investigator of the Tumour Biology Program of MedILS.
    Ivan’s scientific interests are focused on how ubiquitin pathways regulate cellular processes, such as receptor-mediated endocytosis, immune responses, DNA repair, proteasomal degradation and more recently on molecular basis of selective autophagy.

    During my industrial placement I was an integral part of a team that helped purify proteins that were required for various studies in the target to lead phase of drug development. The placement supplied me with the basic laboratory skills that have provided the foundations from which I have been able to build upon. Techniques employed included ion exchange chromatography, gel filtration and protein refolding to purify proteins to various degrees. LC/MS, peptide mass fingerprinting and N-terminal sequencing were also used to identify and aid the characterisation of purified proteins.

    Project Summary

     
       
    Binding of epidermal growth factor (EGF) to its cognate receptor (EGFR) leads to the assembly of receptor-associated signalling complexes involved in the regulation of crucial cellular functions. Following activation, the primary mechanism of signal attenuation is through receptor endocytosis and subsequent degradation. Defects in this signalling pathway are known to play major roles in development of tumors.  I am studying novel regulatory mechanisms in the endocytic trafficking of the EGFR using molecular and cellular techniques.

During her study she visited the lab of Ivan Dikic for an internship and joined his group to do her diploma work as well as the PhD. Her interest is genomic stability and the role of ubiquitin signaling in its maintenance. In particular, she has been focusing on the role of ubiquitylation and Ub-binding in the process of tolerating DNA damage during its replication, called Translesion Synthesis.

    I¹m interested in the regulation of DNA damage tolerance processes by ubiquitin. After focusing on the role of non-covalent interactions between Y-family DNA polymerases and ubiquitin I now study the function of covalent interactions in the form of the monoubiquitylation of these proteins.
