Examination of Protein-Protein Interaction of the GRASP and its Impact on Cell Motility

Gregory Peter Reilly

The HGF pathway is a cellular pathway that helps cell become motile. It has been found to be over-expressed in many types of cancer. GRASP is a scaffold protein within this pathway that helps mediate many different protein-protein interactions. While many proteins are known to interact with GRASP, it possible that other unknown proteins interact with GRASP to induce cell motility. The goal of my project was to examine this possibility and identify these proteins.
