ILS-MA-B2: Ion Transport and Signaling (ILS-MA-B2)5 ECTS
(englische Bezeichnung: ILS-MA-B2: Ionentransport und Signaltransduktion)
(Prüfungsordnungsmodul: Ion Transport And Signal Transduction)

Lehrveranstaltungen:

• • ILS-MA-B2: Ion transport and signal transduction
    (Vorlesung mit Übung, Anwesenheitspflicht, Petra Dietrich, Zeit und Raum n.V.)

Empfohlene Voraussetzungen:

none

Inhalt:

Ion channels in the membrane are often involved in responses to external stimuli, representing early components of signal transduction pathways. During the module, the students will extensively study the role of ion channels for transport processes and signal transduction networks, using theoretical approaches (literature, lectures, seminars) combined with experiments in the lab.
The practical part focuses on the analysis of

• structure-function relations in ion channels

• protein-protein interactions using different techniques

• Ca2+-responses as early signaling elements using calcium reporters,

and introduces different cloning strategies for plasmid preparation as well as different expression systems, such as E. coli, yeast cells, Xenopus oocytes, and plant cells. Electrophysiological characterization of ion transport (optional for interested students only).

Lernziele und Kompetenzen:

Compulsatory attendance, in order to

• learn experimental methods for studying membrane proteins

• design and conduct scientific experiments in life sciences

• optimize time schedules for practical experiments

• analyze and interpret experimental data

• present and discuss own experimental data

• present and critically discuss data published in original research articles
