研究领域

Dr Fleck is interested in genome stability, particularly nucleotide excision repair (NER), and mismatch repair (MMR), which uses the yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe as model. His current research also focusses on the characterisation of Ddb1. In recent years it has been shown that Ddb1 is not only involved in NER, but is part of an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex that controls stability of proteins in a cell cycle specific manner and in response to DNA damage. One such target is Spd1, which is a negative regulator of ribonucleotide reductase (RNR). RNR catalyses the rate limiting step in dNTP synthesis. During replication and in response to DNA damage, Spd1 is poly-ubiquitinated by the E3 ligase complex and degraded by the proteasome. This activates RNR, thereby providing the cells with dNTP required for DNA synthesis. NER proteins are further characterised with respect to their functions in response to chemotherapeutic drugs and MMR-mediated stability of repetitive DNA sequences.
