Biography

Igor Barsukov has expertise in structural biology, primarily using NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The main focus of his research has been on the structure and function of integrin-mediated cell-matrix adhesions, where he directed full structural analysis of the key adhesion proteins talin, leading to the currently widely used model of stretch-dependent talin activation. He is currently extending the model of talin functionality to include competitive, talin based, interaction networks. Recently he identified interactions between neuronal scaffold proteins Shank3 and Ras-family GTPase that regulate integrin activity and have implications for control of synaptic plasticity.
