About

I was awarded my BA (Mod) in Microbiology from Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. I continued my studies at Trinity College and completed a PhD entitled 'The regulation of 3' end processing under the supervision of Prof Ursula Bond. I continued with Prof Bond as a research associate investigating the adaptation of yeast brewing stress to high wort environments before moving initially to UMIST and then to The University of Manchester, where I carried out postdoctoral research on the impact of environmental stress on translation initiation in yeast, in the lab of Dr Mark Ashe.

In 2013 I took up the position of Senior Lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University, my research focusses on how the localisation of proteins within cells impacts upon their function. It is becoming increasingly evident that compartmentalisation of the cytoplasm of cells into discrete regions, enables efficient control of translation initiation. Understanding the regulation of this localisation is a key theme within my research. In particular, I am interested in how the localisation of translation initiation factors within a cell impact upon their function and how this may be important in addressing the molecular mechanisms behind diseases classically associated with translational deregulation. In particular, the neurodegenerative disease childhood ataxia with central nervous system hypomyelination (CACH) or leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter (VWM) has been linked to mutations in the translation initiation complex eIF2B and the molecular mechanisms behind how these mutations may impact upon these complexes of eIF2B is a key question within my research.

Currently, I teach across several different modules including; Level 5 modules such as Advanced Cell Biology, Genes to Proteins and Immunology and Microbiology, the Level 6 module Applied Biochemistry and Level 7 modules such as Molecular and Cell Biology and Fundamentals of Microbial Biotechnology. Within these modules I teach topics ranging from general protein synthesis and control to advanced microscopy techniques. I also teach more broadly within the College where I deliver anatomy and physiology lectures to nursing students. I also support final year research projects, masters research projects, MSci, MRes and PhD Students.

I am the Postgraduate Research Tutor for the Biomolecular Sciences Research Centre.

Research

The focus of my research is to understand the mechanisms underlying how cells control protein synthesis during stress and disease. Cells can overcome stress by activating stress-responsive signalling pathways such as the ‘integrated stress response’ (ISR) and my lab is interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms underpinning this signalling cascade.

The critical signalling event in the ISR is the phosphorylation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor, eIF2α, by one of four eIF2α kinases. eIF2 phosphorylation controls protein synthesis via inhibiting the activity of a partner complex, eIF2B. When eIF2 is phosphorylated, protein synthesis is downregulated. This allows cells to conserve energy and through downstream effects, cells can either respond to and restore proteostasis or induce apoptosis and die. This makes the ISR critical for maintaining cellular homeostasis.

Recently, the ISR has been implicated as a major pathogenic mechanism in neurodegenerative diseases affecting both children and adults and more recently has even been associated with the cognitive decline associated with normal aging.

In cells, although eIF2B is a ubiquitously expressed protein complex made up of 5 subunits, our lab has identified that it displays specific cellular localisation patterns. Recent work from the Campbell/Allen lab group has revealed that these localisation patterns correspond to subcomplexes of eIF2B containing varied amounts of the 5 subunits. Further work has demonstrated that these subcomplexes show differential responses to the ISR.

We are particularly interested in understanding how this localisation impacts diseases such as Leukoencephalopathy with Vanishing white matter (VWM) which is linked to mutations in subunits of eIF2B. Currently, over 150 missense mutations in eIF2B have been identified however the mechanism of eIF2B involvement in the pathogenesis of this disease remains elusive. Although eIF2B is a global regulator of protein synthesis, the phenotypic effect of the mutations is only observed in oligodendrocytes and astrocytes within the brain.

In collaboration with Dr Liz Allen, we have identified eIF2B bodies in cells linked to the pathology of VWM. Using a GFP tagged eIF2Bε subunit, live cell imaging studies suggest that eIF2B bodies are present within human glial cells. We are currently investigating the functional importance of these eIF2B bodies with respect to translational control and VWM disease. This work is currently funded by a grant from Great Ormond Street Hospital and Sparks.

My research focusses on the control of translation initiation in response to stress conditions in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. During translation initiation the Met-tRNAi is recruited to the 40S ribosomal subunit in a ternary complex with eIF2-GTP. On identification of an AUG codon the eIF2-GTP is hydrolysed releasing eIF2-GDP from the complex. One of the key regulatory steps in the translation initiation pathway involves the recycling of inactive GDP-bound eIF2 into active GTP-bound eIF2. This step is catalysed by the guanine nucleotide exchange factor eIF2B. Stresses such as nutritional starvation directly target this exchange factor by activation of a kinase, which phosphorylates the alpha subunit of the G protein eIF2. This phosphorylation inhibits the exchange activity of eIF2B thereby down-regulating translation initiation.

Localisation of translation initiation factors

We are interested in how the localisation of factors involved in the translation initiation pathway impact upon the control of translation initiation. We have identified that both eIF2B and eIF2, localise to a cytoplasmic body termed ‘the eIF2B body’. Evidence from live cell imaging techniques such as FRAP (fluorescent recovery after photobleaching) suggest that eIF2 shuttles between the cytoplasm and these bodies and that this rate of shuttling alters in response to stresses which directly target the eIF2B exchange reaction.
Therefore these eIF2B bodies may be sites where eIF2B catalyses the exchange of inactive eIF2xGDP for active eIF2xGTP and therefore form centres within the cells for the regulation of translation initiation. Future studies will aim to determine the precise function, structure and requirement for the eIF2B body within yeast cells.

eIF2B mutations and human genetic diseases

The neurological disorder Leukoencephalopathy with Vanishing white matter (VWM) has been linked to mutations in these subunits of eIF2B. Currently, over 150 missense mutations in eIF2B have been identified however the mechanism of eIF2B involvement in the pathogenesis of this disease remains elusive. Although eIF2B is a global regulator of protein synthesis, the phenotypic effect of the mutations is only observed in oligodendrocytes and astrocytes within the brain.

We have identified eIF2B bodies in mammalian cells and more specifically in cells linked to the pathology of VWM. Using a GFP tagged eIF2Bε subunit, live cell imaging studies suggest that eIF2B bodies are present within human glial cells. The distribution of eIF2B bodies in these cells reveals heterogeneous populations differing in size and abundance. We are currently investigating the functional importance of these eIF2B bodies with respect to translational control and VWM disease.
