Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Jun Gao's research focuses on the roles of G-quadruplex DNA structures and associated proteins in cellular processes, particularly in yeast and human systems. His work investigates how these structures influence genome stability, stress responses, and gene regulation. Gao has published on the accumulation of G-quadruplex DNA in the cytoplasm during oxidative stress and its participation in stress granule assembly. He has also explored the function of yeast Sub1 and its human homolog PC4 as G-quadruplex binding proteins that suppress genome instability. Further research examines the interaction of DEAD-box RNA helicases with G-quadruplex nucleic acids and their destabilization of G-quadruplex RNA. Gao also has experience with CRISPR-based proteomic analysis and allele replacement techniques in yeast.
