SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Petra Levin\, Washington University in St. Louis
DESCRIPTION:In this weekly seminar series\, Petra Levin\, Professor in the Department of Biology\, Washington University in St. Louis\, St. Louis\, MO\, will present a one-hour talk titled: \nBacteria vs Environment: How very small organisms survive and thrive in a very big world.\n \nABSTRACT It is easy to forget that bacteria exist. Until something spoils. Or we get sick. Bacteria do not have the same luxury. Easily swept from one place to another by a flushing toilet\, prevailing winds\, or the movement of their hosts\, to survive they must adapt to a constantly changing environment. In this talk\, I will explain how two organisms—Escherichia coli and the pathogen Klebsiella pneumoniae—modulate cell wall synthesis to survive and thrive in acidic conditions and how changes in pH alter their sensitivity to antibiotics. \nThis seminar will be presented in the ASRC Auditorium and broadcast via Zoom\, with snacks and refreshments to start at 11:30am in the cafe. \nTo join these ongoing events via Zoom\, please use the link below: \nMeeting ID: 968 3104 2138\nPasscode: ASRC-CD \nFor more information about this hybrid event please contact: \nHyacinth Camillieri \nhcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:Towards Interactive 3D Visualization: The Role of Virtual\, Augmented and Mixed Reality in Scientific Visualization
DESCRIPTION:Come learn about new 3D visualization and augmented reality tools for your research! Summer opportunities are also available for undergraduate students. \nIn this one-hour seminar on virtual reality\, Wole Oyekoya\, PhD\, Hunter College and The Graduate Ceneter\, CUNY\, will be presenting talk titled: \n“Towards Interactive 3D Visualization: The Role of Virtual\, Augmented and Mixed Reality in Scientific Visualization.” \nAbstract: In research laboratories around the world\, Immersive 3D Visualization is playing a key role in the scientific analysis and discovery. Scientific Visualization is the art of representing scientific data in a way that allows researchers to gain keen insight into complex data sets\, thereby enabling them to see the expected and discover the unexpected in their data. Paraview\, VisIt and VMD are open-source scientific visualization applications that enables users to visualize high-performance computing (HPC) simulations. These applications support multiple data formats across different domains. We are aiming to enable interactive and immersive visualization by introducing the ability to analyze and visualize large scientific datasets at interactive speeds as it is being computed (Interactive Supercomputing). This visualization challenge has been brought about largely due to the growth of supercomputers and the amount of data that is being computed. This talk will present prior and current work in visualizing scientific data in Virtual and Augmented Reality systems\, as well as future plans to leverage the GPU power of A100 GPUs to enable immersive and interactive scientific visualization. \nBio: Assoc. Prof. Wole Oyekoya leads the Visualization and Virtual Reality Lab. He is an Associate Professor at Hunter College\, City University of New York (CUNY) and a member of the Doctoral Faculty of CUNY Graduate Center (CUNY’s Ph.D. Program in Computer Science). He obtained his PhD in 2007 at University College London\, where he worked on using eye tracking data for Content Based Image Retrieval. Prior to his appointment at CUNY\, he worked in the Visualization Groups of the Research Computing divisions of Virginia Tech and Clemson University. He was also a post-doctoral scholar at University College London. Currently\, he is a guest associate editor of Frontiers in Virtual Reality journal. He is also a recipient of funding from the National Science Foundation\, Adobe Digital Marketing Research Award and PSC CUNY Research Award. His research expertise and interests include Immersive Scientific Visualization\, Virtual Reality\, Augmented Reality\, Mixed Reality\, Telepresence\, Eye Tracking and Visual Attention Modeling. \nThis event will take place in the ASRC 1st floor seminar room.

SUMMARY:ASRC/CCNY Spring Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics & Biodesign: Anna-Lena Steckelberg\, Columbia University\, Irving Medical Center
DESCRIPTION:In this weekly seminar series\, Anna-Lena Steckelberg\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biophysics at\nColumbia University\, Irving Medical Center\, New York\, will present a one-hour talk titled: \nViral RNA structures as master manipulators of the cellular RNA decay machinery \nABSTRACT RNA viruses typically contain very small genomes and encode only a few proteins. As obligate intracellular parasites\, many viruses have therefore evolved elegant RNA-based strategies to manipulate cellular machinery in order to enhance virus propagation and pathogenicity. Studying these RNA-centric viral mechanisms teaches us about important human pathogens\, but also expands our understanding of the cellular machinery they employ. \nA particularly intriguing\, yet poorly understood\, example is the use of highly structured RNA elements to halt the degradation of viral RNAs by cellular 5′-3′ exoribonuclease\, such as the highly processive Xrn1. This mechanism was first discovered over a decade ago in flaviviruses\, where the stalling of Xrn1 on viral genomes leads to the production of biologically active viral RNA degradation products with important functions in immune modulation and viral pathogenicity. More recently\, we discovered that exoribonuclease-resistant RNA structures (called xrRNAs) are also found in many unrelated RNA viruses\, including those of the plant-infecting Luteoviridae and Tombusviridae families. This finding established xrRNAs as an authentic functional class of structured RNAs and identified programmed exoribonuclease resistance as an important RNA maturation pathway in the viral world. Despite their widespread presence and continued discoveries of diverse roles\, the structural basis of xrRNA function remains only partially understood. All xrRNAs discovered to date rely on the formation of a protective ring-like fold around the RNA\, yet the sequences and three-dimensional folds that form these protective rings are highly diverse\, thwarting any attempt to predict new xrRNAs from sequence data alone. We have solved the three-dimensional structure of several plant-virus xrRNAs by x-ray crystallography\, and discovered a dynamic folding pathway that exploits Xrn1’s helicase activity for co-degradational structure remodeling. Combining biochemical in vitro assays\, viral infection studies\, structural biology and single-molecule measurements of RNA dynamics to characterize diverse xrRNAs\, we work towards predictive sequence-structure-function models of this new class of functional viral RNA. \nThis seminar will be presented in the ASRC Auditorium and broadcast via Zoom\, with snacks and refreshments to start at 11:30am in the cafe. \nTo join these ongoing events via Zoom\, please use the link below: \nMeeting ID: 968 3104 2138\nPasscode: ASRC-CDI \nFor more information about this hybrid event please contact: \nHyacinth Camillieri \nhcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Joshua Levitz\, Weill Cornell Medicine
DESCRIPTION:In this weekly seminar series\, Joshua Levitz\, Associate Professor in the Dept. of Biochemistry\, Weill Cornell Medicine\, New York\, NY will present a one-hour talk titled: \n“Mechanisms of Activation and Regulation of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors.” \n\nABSTRACT The metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are family C GPCRs which play critical roles in synaptic neuromodulation and serve as drug targets for neurological and psychiatric disorders. Their core features of constitutive dimerization and multi-domain architecture raise many fundamental structural and biophysical questions about their assembly\, activation\, and regulation. Using a variety of in vitro and live cell biophysical methods\, ranging from cryo-EM to super-resolution microscopy\, we have dissected the conserved and subtype-selective assembly and conformational dynamics of mGluRs at both the extracellular and transmembrane domains. Critically\, we reveal distinct modes of receptor activation by orthosteric versus allosteric ligands and complex subtype-specific heterodimerization profiles. In addition\, we have found extreme diversity in the ability of mGluR subtypes to couple to GPCR kinases (GRKs) and beta-arrestins. We have probed the underlying molecular mechanisms that control this subtype diversity and characterized how GRK and beta-arrestin coupling regulate mGluR signaling and trafficking\, including in the synaptic context. \nThis seminar will be presented in the ASRC Auditorium and broadcast via Zoom\, with snacks and refreshments to start at 11:30am in the cafe. \nTo join these ongoing events via Zoom: \nMeeting ID: 968 3104 2138 \nPasscode: ASRC-CDI \nFor more information about this hybrid event please contact: \nHyacinth Camillieri \nhcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Nicholas Polizzi\, Harvard Medical School
DESCRIPTION:In this weekly seminar series\, Nicholas Polizzi\, Assistant Professor for the Department of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute\, Harvard Medical School\, Boston\, MA will present a one-hour talk titled: \nDesigning ligand-binding proteins from scratch \nAbstract    Most proteins function by first binding a ligand\, such as another protein\, peptide\, or small molecule. The Polizzi laboratory aims to learn the rules of protein–ligand binding through the lens of de novo protein design. In de novo design\, a protein’s structure and sequence are computed from first principles. This approach has seen much recent success for the creation of new protein shapes. However\, the design of proteins that bind to specific ligands remains an outstanding challenge. In this talk\, I will discuss our lab’s approach to designing small-molecule-binding proteins from scratch. By analyzing thousands of protein structures in the Protein Data Bank\, we discovered a structural “code” used by proteins to preferentially bind the chemical groups commonly found in small molecules. We developed a design algorithm called COMBS that uses the structural code to create custom ligand-binding sites; and we demonstrated its utility through the design of a de novo protein that specifically binds the antithrombotic drug\, apixaban. This work sets the stage for building bespoke ligand-binding proteins with many potential applications in biology and medicine. \nThis seminar will be presented in the ASRC Auditorium and broadcast via Zoom\, with snacks and refreshments to start at 11:30am in the cafe. \nTo join these ongoing events via Zoom\, please use the link below: \nMeeting ID: 968 3104 2138  \nPasscode: ASRC-CDI \nFor more information about this hybrid event please contact: \nHyacinth Camillieri \nhcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Charalampos Babis Kalodimos\, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
DESCRIPTION:In this weekly seminar series\, Charalampos Babis Kalodimos\, Faculty Chair in the Department of Structural Biology\, Joseph Simone Endowed Chair in Basic Research\, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital\, Memphis\, TN will present a one-hour talk titled: “The conformational landscape of protein kinases in physiology and disease.” \nAbstract   Protein kinases regulate almost every aspect of cellular function. Changes in the expression\, localization in the cell\, mutations or chromosomal rearrangements of kinases can cause a number of cancers and other diseases. Cancer ‘driver’ mutations occur very frequently in kinase genes. In fact\, the kinase domain is the domain most frequently encoded by cancer genes. Tremendous progress has been made in understanding the structure\, function\, and mechanisms of regulation of protein kinases. However\, it has proved challenging to monitor these transitions and structurally characterize the manifold of conformational states inherently populated by a kinase. In the absence of such information\, the mechanisms underpinning the response of kinases to physiological and pathological processes remain poorly understood. I will discuss how we structurally and energetically dissect the mechanisms underpinning the function and operation of a number of important protein kinases. We elucidate regulatory and drug-resistance mechanisms as well as how key structural elements and motifs control the activation/inhibition processes in kinases. \nThis seminar will be presented in the ASRC Auditorium and broadcast via Zoom\, with snacks and refreshments to start at 11:30am in the cafe. \nTo join these ongoing events via Zoom\, please use the info below: \nMeeting ID:  968 3104 2138Passcode:  ASRC-CDI \n Download Charalampos Babis Kalodimos Seminar Flyer  (278KB .PDF file) \nDownload the updated Spring 2023 Seminar Schedule (125 KB .PDF file) \nFor more information about this hybrid event please contact: \nHyacinth Camillieri \nhcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Special Seminar: Fernando Luίs Barroso da Silva\, University of São Paulo
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the ASRC 5th Fl Data Visualization Room for a special one-hour seminar titled: “Developing and Applying Fast constant-pH Simulation Methods in Biological Systems: From biomaterials to virus.” \nSpeaker: Fernando Luίs Barroso da Silva\nAssociate Professor\, Department of Biomolecular Sciences\nSchool of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Ribeirão Preto – University of São Paulo\nSao Paolo\, Brazil \nAbstract: A vast class of biomolecular engineering problems at the present including the understanding\, diagnosis\, and treatment of diseases; developments in the pharmaceutical and food industries; design of new (bio)functionalized materials and processes of bioseparation\, in general\, relies on a better knowledge of the fundamental physical interactions responsible for the formation and stability of molecular complexes. pH is a key physical-chemical parameter for many of them that is also related to the macromolecular complexation even “on the wrong side of the pI”. At our lab\, our focus has been on the development of coarse-grained descriptions that could result in a good compromise between the proper modeling of the constant-pH physics and reduced simulation time. In this talk\, I will review the main aspects of the peculiar attraction behind like-charge macromolecules\, the constant-pH simulation models devised for different biomolecular applications\, and how we have been using these tools together with other simulation and structural bioinformatic methods to better understand spidroins\, viruses (flaviviruses and coronaviruses) and designing therapeutic agents. \nDownload Fernando Barroso Seminar Flyer  (202KB .PDF file) \nSnacks and refreshments to start at 12:30pm in the 5th fl data viz room. This event will be in-person only. \nFor more information about this event please contact: \nHyacinth Camillieri \nhcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Catherine L. Drennan\, MIT
DESCRIPTION:In this weekly seminar series\, Catherine L. Drennan\, professor in the Departments of Biology and Chemistry at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute\, MIT\, Cambridge\, MA\, will present a one-hour talk titled: \nCapturing Snapshots of Metalloenzymes in Action \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract    The use of radical-based chemistry allows for amazing transformations in living organisms. To carry out their functions\, radical enzymes like ribonucleotide reductase often need to be flexible and assume different conformational states\, with units of the protein swinging back and forth to enable reactants to bind the protein or products to leave while protecting radical-based intermediates during the chemical steps in the reaction. In this presentation\, Drennan will present her lab’s structural studies of ribonucleotide reductases (RNRs). RNRs employ metallocofactors to generate radical species to afford the conversion of ribonucleotides (the building blocks of RNA) to deoxyribonucleotides (the building blocks of DNA). These enzymes are chemotherapeutic targets and proposed antibacterial targets. Here\, she will describe how the “resolution revolution” of cryo-electron microscopy allowed for the capture of an active state structure of ribonucleotide reductase for the first time. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDownload Catherine L.

SUMMARY:CUNY Student SciComs Symposium: Communicating Your Science
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Friday\, June 9 at 10 a.m. for the third annual “Communicating Your Science Symposium.” The symposium\, created by the CUNY Graduate Center’s Ph.D. student-led organization\, CUNYSciCom\, aims to use peer-to-peer training and engagement to challenge and reshape the way scientists discuss scientific research with each other and the general public. The symposium challenges student scientists to present and explain their research to two different audiences — their peers and the general public — in short presentations. Each presentation must include contextual descriptions of their work\, visual aids\, and will conclude with a Q&A session with the audience. \nA panel of judges (a science professor\, a journalism professor\, a dissertation showcase participant\, and undergraduate students) will give feedback to all participants\, and cash prizes of up to $500 will be awarded! \nTo attend\, RSVP at https://bit.ly/3W06RLt \nThis event is sponsored by Matter\, a Cell Press Journal\, and the Doctoral and Graduate Student Council at GC CUNY.

SUMMARY:ASRC Structural Biology Initiative Special Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Juliette Fedry\nStructural Biochemistry\nBijvoet Center for Biomolecular Research\nUtrecht University\, Utrecht\, The Netherlands \nMolecular visualization of cellular processes in mammalian cells\nNew insights into mRNA translation and the dynamics of the Nuclear Envelope under stress\nAbstract    To understand cellular processes\, it is important to visualize the proteins catalyzing the corresponding biochemical reactions. Over the last decades\, X-ray crystallography has allowed the very detailed visualization of purified proteins\, importantly contributing to our understanding of their functions and mechanisms of action. Recent method developments in the field of cryo electron tomography (cryoET) now open the door to structural studies of macromolecular complexes in a more biologically relevant context\, such as vesicles for membrane complexes or ultimately directly within the cell. \nIn my recent work\, I visualized the mRNA translation process in situ\, in intact mammalian cells and analyzed its reorganization under persistent collision stress. My results highlight the presence of a Z-site bound tRNA on 80S complexes\, increased under stress and stabilized on collided disomes\, as well as the accumulation of an off-pathway 80S complex likely resulting from collision splitting events. We further observe the apparition of tRNAbound aberrant 40S complexes shifting with the stress timepoint\, suggesting a succession of different initiation inhibition mechanisms over time. \nTo visualize the translocation of secretory protein nascent chains into the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) on native membranes\, we used cryoET on vesicles derived from the rough ER of mammalian cell lines. We characterized the distinct populations of translocon complexes assembled in the ER membrane and revealed their clustering according to polysomes translating different types of nascent chains. We obtained a subtomogram average of the most abundant translocon variant at subnanometer resolution and built the corresponding atomic model\, revealing new interactions between its main components. \nFinally\, I investigated the dynamics of the nuclear envelope under ER stress and recovery. I visualized this process in mammalian cells\, shedding light on how autophagy processes proceed to the specific degradation of outer nuclear membrane portions.\n\n\n\n  \nSEMINAR LOCATION:\nNew York Structural Biology Center\, 89 Convent Ave\, New York\nSeminar Room A-11\n<>\nTHIS SEMINAR MAY ALSO BE VIEWED REMOTELY VIA ZOOM:\nMeeting ID:  870 5022 4531\nPasscode:  165802\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDownload Juliette Fedry Seminar Flyer  (334KB .PDF file)

SUMMARY:!CANCELLED as of 9/5/23!            ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Rohit Pappu\, Washington University in St. Louis
DESCRIPTION:As of 9/5/23 this seminar has been CANCELLED. Please continue to check the events page for updates and/or rescheduling.  \n  \n  \n  \nJoin us for the first Biochem Seminar of the Fall on September 6th with Distinguished Professor\, Rohit Pappu\, from McKelvey School of Engineering at the Washington University in St. Louis! These seminars will take place every Wednesday at noon in the ASRC Auditorium. \nTalk title: “Emergent consequences of macromolecular phase transitions.” \nABSTRACT Phase transitions of associative macromolecules enable spatial and temporal organization over cellular matter. The talk will present insights regarding hidden complexities underlying evolutionarily selected physico-chemical principles that govern the driving forces for phase transitions and material properties of condensates formed by prion-like low complexity domains of proteins. The talk will also cover ground on the transferability of core physical principles to describe the assembly of cellular condensates such as nucleoli. Both aspects of the talk will stress emergent properties that result from the totality of processes that come under the rubric of condensation of macromolecules. \nThis seminar will be presented in the ASRC Auditorium and broadcast via Zoom\, with snacks and refreshments to start at 11:30am in the Cafe. \nTo join via Zoom:\nMeeting ID: 966 7763 1144\nPasscode: asrc-ccny \nTo download the full seminar flyer: 20230906 flyer \nTo download the full speaker schedule: Biochem Speaker Meeting Schedule_Fall_2023 \n  \nFor more information about this hybrid event\, please contact: \nHyacinth Camillieri \nhcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu \n

SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Geraldine Seydoux\, Johns Hopkins University
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the fall semester ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign every Wednesday at noon!  For this first seminar of the semester\, Professor of Genetic Medicine and Molecular Biology and Genetics\, Geraldine Seydoux\, Johns Hopkins University\, will present a talk titled: “Assembly and Function of RNA granules \nin C. elegans.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract    RNA granules are assemblies of RNA and proteins not limited by membranes. RNA granules contain factors for RNA biogenesis and turnover and are often assumed to represent specialized compartments for RNA biochemistry. We use the C. elegans model to study RNA granules in a native\, whole animal context.  Our studies support the view that RNA granules are assembled by phase separation\, a thermodynamic process that causes interacting proteins and RNAs to de-mix from the cytoplasm to form condensed droplets.  I will discuss active mechanisms used by cells to control the assembly and distribution of P granules in embryos\, including protein clusters that form a type of “primitive membrane” on the surface of P granules to reduce surface tension and regulate granule dynamics. I will also discuss recent experiments that challenge the view that RNA granules represent specialized compartments for RNA biochemistry and present evidence that some are “incidental condensates”\, non-functional minor condensation by-products that form when sub-soluble RNA-protein complexes saturate the cytoplasm.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDownload Geraldine Seydoux Seminar Flyer  (234 KB .PDF file) \nDownload the Fall 2023 Seminar Schedule (189 KB .PDF file)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis seminar will be presented in the ASRC Auditorium and broadcast via Zoom\, with snacks and refreshments to start at 11:30am in the cafe. \nTo join via Zoom: \nMeeting ID:  966 7763 1144\nPasscode:  asrc-ccny \nFor more information about this hybrid event\, please contact: \nHyacinth Camillieri \nhcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Vladimir N. Uversky\, University of South Florida
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the fall semester ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign every Wednesday at noon! This week’s speaker\, Vladimir N. Uversky\, professor in the Department of Molecular Medicine at the University of South Florida\, will be presenting a talk titled: \n“From polyfunctionality to multipathogenicity with intrinsic disorder.”\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABSTRACT  Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) lack stable tertiary and/or secondary structure under physiological conditions in vitro. They are highly abundant in nature and have functional repertoire which is very broad and complements functions of ordered proteins. Often\, intrinsically disordered proteins are involved in regulation\, signaling and control pathways. Functions of IDPs may arise from the specific disordered form\, from inter-conversion of disordered forms\, or from transitions between disordered and ordered as well as between ordered and disordered conformations. The choice between these conformations is determined by the peculiarities of the protein environment\, and many IDPs possess an exceptional ability to fold in a template-dependent manner. These proteins are often key players in protein-protein interaction networks being highly abundant among hubs. Regions of mRNA which undergo alternative splicing code for disordered proteins more often than they code for structured proteins. This association of alternative splicing and intrinsic disorder helps proteins to avoid folding difficulties and provides a novel mechanism for developing tissue-specific protein interaction networks. IDPs are tightly controlled in the norm by various genetic and non-genetic mechanisms. Alteration in regulation of this disordered regulators are often detrimental to a cell and many IDPs are associated with a variety of human diseases such as cancer\, cardiovascular disease\, amyloidoses\, neurodegenerative diseases\, diabetes and others. Therefore\, there is an intriguing interconnection between intrinsic disorder\, cell signaling and human diseases. Pathogenic IDPs\, such as α-synuclein\, tau protein\, p53\, BRCA1 and many other disease-associated hub proteins represent attractive targets for drugs modulating protein-protein interactions. Several strategies have been elaborated for elucidating the mechanisms of blocking of the intrinsic disorder-based protein-protein interactions.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDownload the Full Speaker Flyer Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n* Dr. Uversky will be giving this talk via Zoom. The Zoom broadcast may be viewed remotely\, or in the ASRC Main Auditorium.
