Does phosphorylation regulate the methylation of proteins
Australian Research Council Discovery grant (Wilkins, $315,000).
Protein methylation is emerging as a major means by which the interaction of proteins is regulated. However, the means by which methyltransferases are themselves regulated remains poorly understood. This project will examine a suite of protein methyltransferases in S. cerevisiae to determine if phosphorylation is critical for their function. The project will also assess the degree to which the phosphorylation of residues adjacent to methylation affects the action of methyltransferases.

A research platform for exploring the Genotype-Phenotype nexus
Australian Research Council Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities (LIEF) Grant (Harry et al. UTS, $650,000)
The SBI was a co-investigator on this consortium grant, in association with the Ramaciotti Centre for Gene Function Analysis. Funds from this grant will allow the SBI to host a multi-user license for the MetaCore pathway analysis software.

Advanced high resolution mass spectrometer for collaborative proteomic and lipidomic research
Australian Research Council Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities (LIEF) Grant (Raftery et al. UNSW, $235,000)
The SBI was a co-investigator on this cross-institutional grant, to raise funds for a 5600 triple-ToF. This instrument will help underpin proteomic research undertaken within the SBI.
