About our Project

 

 The project had several aims:

  • To determine the repetoire of proteins that both interact and are ubiquitinated by the E3 ligase WWP2
  • To determine how the loss of WWP2 affects cartilage formation
  • To understand whether there is an interconnection between WWP2 and the microRNA, miR-140, located within an intron of the gene.
  • To characterise the phenotype of a mouse lacking the cartilage specific isoforma of Wwp2
