- Developed and executed a strategy to purify retro-viral restriction factor TRIM5 alpha complexes from mammalian tissue culture cells. Collaborated effectively with an external mass spectrometry laboratory to identify the co-purified TRIM5 alpha-interacting proteins. - Designed and cloned a multifunctional viral vector system for transduction of mammalian.

Identified six new interactions between the Breast Cancer Susceptibility gene product, BRCA1, and the family of ubiquitin conjugating enzymes (E2s). Discovered that different ubiquitination products are synthesized by BRCA1 depending on the E2s used in an ubiquitination assay and that poly-ubiquitin chain formation depends on a second, non-covalent.

Investigated two metalloproteins; ferritin and ceruloplasmin, and their mechanisms of iron storage and transport. Specifically, cloned, expressed in bacteria, and purified a 19 kDa C-terminal fragment of ceruloplasmin and investigated its potential to facilitate iron incorporation into ferritin. Purified ferritin and ceruloplasmin from both recombinant and.
