Oferta pracy
Nazwa stanowiska: Post-doc
Wymagania:
Post-doc position is available in National Science Centre funded project to study molecular plant-microbe interactions with special focus on small RNA machinery.
Project title: “Novel aspects of virulence mechanisms of HopBF1, a bacterial effector that targets host HSP90 protein”
Candidates Profile:
• Candidates should hold a PhD in biological sciences and solid background in the field of RNA biology. Demonstrated experience in RNAseq–based techniques, and expertise in managing and analysis of extensive datasets will offer an advantage. Background knowledge of plant pathology is desirable, though not required.
• scientific achievements including publications in recognized international scientific journals
• creativity, excellent teamwork, time management and organizational skills
• fluent in English written and spoken
According to the National Science Centre (NCN) requirements, only individuals who have obtained a doctoral degree no earlier than seven years prior to the year of employment in the project may be admitted. This period may be extended by the duration of long-term (over 90 days) documented sickness benefits or rehabilitation benefits due to incapacity for work. Additionally, this period may be extended by the number of months spent on leave related to the care and upbringing of children granted under the terms of the Labor Code, and in the case of women, 18 months for each born or adopted child, if this method of indicating career breaks is more favorable.
HopBF1 is an effector secreted by Pseudomonas syringae to interfere with plant defense system. As we have recently published in CELL, the effector targets eukaryotic HSP90 protein in a “betrayal-like” mechanism. First, it mimics HSP90 client to undergo maturation. Subsequently, the activated HopBF1 phosphorylates a highly conserved serine residue of the chaperone and thereby inhibits its ATPase activity. Unexpectedly, we found that local expression of HopBF1 leads to symptom development in distal plant parts. In this project we would like to identify the nature of the molecule that relays a signal from the local leaves expressing HopBF1 to the systemic leaves, which display phenotypic abnormalities.
