SUMMARY:Seminar in Biochemistry\, Biophysics & Biodesign: Kathryn Wellen\, Univ of Pennsylvania
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Kathryn Wellen\, Associate Professor\, Dept of Cancer Biology\, Univ of Pennsylvania \nTitle: Metabolic compartmentalization and adaptations in cancer \nAbstract: Cells continually monitor nutrient availability to adapt to their environment and to inform decisions about survival\, proliferation\, and performance of different functions. Accordingly\, many metabolites play crucial roles as signaling molecules\, in addition to their functions in energy production and biosynthesis. In this presentation\, I will discuss two projects. In the first\, I will discuss the application of new methods to assess metabolism in subcellular compartments such as the nucleus to glean new insights into mechanisms of crosstalk between metabolism and the epigenome. In the second\, I will discuss evidence for engagement of a hexosamine salvage mechanism that cancer cells employ in the face of nutrient deprivation in the tumor microenvironment. \nParticipate via zoom \nDownload event flyer \nFor more information about this seminar and about joining in online\, please contact Hyacinth Camillieri at hcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:CUNY Academy for the Humanities and Sciences: Nir London\, Weizmann Institute
DESCRIPTION:To receive the Zoom link\, please send your name and affiliation to mphilipp@gc.cuny.edu. \nSpeaker: Nir London\, Ph.D.\, The Alan and Laraine Fischer Career Development Chair\, Department of Organic Chemistry\, Weizmann Institute of Science \nTitle: Crowdsourcing a Cure for COVID-19 \nAbstract: COVID-19\, caused by SARS-CoV-2\, lacks effective therapeutics. Additionally\, no antiviral drugs or vaccines were developed against the closely related coronavirus\, SARS-CoV-1 or MERS-CoV\, despite previous zoonotic outbreaks. To identify starting points for such therapeutics\, we performed a large-scale screen of electrophile and non-covalent fragments through a combined mass spectrometry and X-ray approach against the SARS-CoV-2 main protease. The results with more than 71 co-crystal structures that span the entire active site\, were released to the public and we implemented a crowd-sourcing platform to solicit next generation design ideas. Thousands of suggestions were submitted\, of which we made and tested >1\,500\, through a global consortium including academic labs\, chemical vendors\, pharma advisors and more. This effort resulted in <100nM inhibitors with crystallographic confirmation and activity in live virus assays. Crowd computing (Folding@Home) was harnessed for compound optimization; AI (via PostEra) for prioritization and retrosynthesis. This is still an on-going live project that can benefit from the input of medicinal chemists world-wide. We hope this initiative can serve as a template for an alternative drug discovery pipeline for areas that are unappealing to traditional pharma such as pandemic preparedness and antibiotic development.

SUMMARY:Seminar in Biochemistry\, Biophysics & Biodesign: Marileen Dogterom\, Delft Univ of Technology Kavli Inst of Nanoscience
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Professor\, Dept of Bionanoscience\, Delft Univ of Technology Kavli Inst of Nanoscience \nTitle: Reconstituting cytoskeletal systems in artificial cells \nAbstract: In my group we are interested in understanding how dynamic and force-generating properties of the\ncytoskeleton contribute to the spatial organization of cells. I will highlight recent advances (and challenges) in our efforts to reconstitute minimal\, functional cytoskeletal systems in artificial confinement. An example is the reconstitution of basic mitotic spindles in microfluidic droplets. These efforts fit in a long-term ambition to build\, in collaboration with others\, a minimal synthetic cell from scratch. \nParticipate via zoom \nDownload event flyer \nFor more information about this seminar and about joining in online\, please contact Hyacinth Camillieri at hcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:Seminar in Biochemistry\, Biophysics & Biodesign: Yuan He\, Northwestern University
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Yuan He\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Molecular Biosciences\, Northwestern University \nTitle: Structural Visualization of Chromatin Regulatory Complexes using Cryo-EM \nAbstract: My research program seeks to address the fundamental biological questions of how information stored in DNA is correctly transcribed and how genome integrity is maintained. Transcription is\nthe first process involved in the genetic readout and incorrect spatial and/or temporal patterns of gene transcription contribute to the etiology of many human diseases. The genome is relentlessly subjected to a\nvariety of environmental insults to which cells respond by deploying multiple\, distinct mechanisms to counter the deleterious effects depending on the type of damage sustained. My research program\nintegrates a combination of approaches including protein biochemistry\, biophysics\, and structural biology to elucidate structure-function relationships of complex macromolecular machines. Since establishing\nmy independent laboratory in 2015 at Northwestern University\, we has made significant progress and impactful discoveries addressing fundamental questions regarding how cells have evolved molecular\nmechanisms to read and repair our genome. These include: 1) How does a transcription initiation complex assemble at gene promoters? 2) How does a chromatin remodeling complex expose DNA sequences\nshielded by chromatin? 3) How are DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) detected and repaired? Our work has provided fundamental mechanistic insights into each of these processes at atomic resolution and raised\nimportant questions for future investigations. We anticipate that our scientific contributions have and will continue to shape and advance the exciting\, rapidly growing fields of gene regulation and DNA repair\nwith the results of these studies being directly relevant to human health and disease. \nParticipate via Zoom \nDownload event flyer \nFor more information about this seminar and about joining in online\, please contact Hyacinth Camillieri at hcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:Seminar in Biochemistry\, Biophysics & Biodesign: Tuo Wang\, Louisiana State Univ
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Tuo Wang\, Assistant Professor\, Dept of Chemistry\, Louisiana State Univ \nTitle: Structural Investigations of Plant Biomass and Fungal Cell Walls by Solid-State NMR and Dynamic Nuclear Polarization \nAbstract: Complex carbohydrates play crucial roles in energy storage\, cell recognition\, and structural building. The structure and assembly of these molecules are highly polymorphic and disordered in cellular environments. Here we present the recent progress in investigating two carbohydrate-rich biosystems: fungal pathogens and plant biomass. Using isotopically enriched whole-cell samples\, we determined the conformation\, packing\, hydration\, and motion of polysaccharides and associated biomolecules. Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) is required for overcoming the sensitivity limitation for probing the polymer interface. The cell wall of a major fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus is found to contain hydrophobic scaffolds of chitin and ±-glucans\, which are enclosed in a soft matrix of ²-glucans and glycoproteins. We have identified a uniquely hydrophobic and stiff cell wall architecture in those fungal cells exposed to echinocandin drugs or high salinity and those mutants devoid of major carbohydrate components. This novel mechanism helps the microbes resist external stresses and retain structural integrity. In intact plant stems\, aromatic-edited experiments were conducted to understand the interaction between carbohydrates and lignin. Lignin preferentially binds to the non-flat region of xylan\, which is linked to the flat-ribbon xylan domains that are coating the even surface of cellulose microfibrils. Molecules are better mixed in woody plants\, resulting in stronger interactions between lignin and the cellulose-xylan junctions. The in-depth understanding of microbes’ armor and lignocellulose will facilitate the development of antifungal drugs and biofuel production technology. \nView this seminar live via Zoom \nFor more information about this seminar \, please contact Hyacinth Camillieri at hcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:Converge to Transform: Interdisciplinary STEM Seminar Series - Mikhail Shapiro\, California Institute of Technology
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Mikhail Shapiro\, PhD\, Professor of Chemical Engineering\, Investigator\, Heritage Medical Research Institute\, California Institute of Technology \nTitle: Talking to cells: technologies to image and control cellular function deep inside the body. \nRegister for the seminar here: https://asrc.formstack.com/forms/converge_to_transform_series_092821 \nResearchers today simultaneously need to address a growing demand for technological advances and an expanding list of threats to our planet and humanity. Solutions to these challenges will not be realized within siloed areas of research\, but through the kinds of dynamic\, innovative thought produced when researchers work across disciplines. Thus\, the ASRC hosts a new seminar series for the 2021-22 academic year to highlight outstanding\, high impact\, inspiring interdisciplinary STEM research for the public good. The series will bring together researchers across many disciplines as well as enrich CUNY’s undergraduate and graduate student and postdoctoral fellow training experiences. Speakers in this series will present recent advances in nanomaterials\, nanotechnology\, imaging\, computational biology\, environmental impacts on human health\, epigenetics\, and molecular and cellular causes of cancer and neurodegeneration. \nThe first speaker in this series\, Mikhail Shapiro\, PhD\, Professor of Chemical Engineering\, Caltech\, will give a talk titled\, “Talking to cells: technologies to image and control cellular function deep inside the body.” Prof. Shapiro joined the Caltech faculty in 2014 after receiving his BS in Neuroscience at Brown University and his PhD in Biological Engineering at MIT. At MIT\, he worked with Alan Jasanoff to develop novel contrast agents and protein nanoparticles for magnetic resonance imaging of specific neurochemicals. After a short stint at Third Rock Ventures\, he took a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Chicago with Francisco Bezanilla and then became a Miller Research Fellow at the University of California – Berkeley.

SUMMARY:Seminar in Biochemistry\, Biophysics & Biodesign: Christophe Grangeasse\, CNRS
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Christophe Grangeasse\, Dir of Research\, CNRS; Deputy Dir\, Laboratory of Mol Microbiol & Structural Biochem\, CNRS\, Université de Lyon\, Lyon\, France \nTitle: Coordination of cell division\, chromosome segregation and capsule assembly in Streptococcus pneumoniae \nAbstract:A particular class of tyrosine-autokinases is widespread among all bacterial phyla. These enzymes\, called BY-kinases for Bacterial tyrosine-kinases\, are crucial for the assembly of the polysaccharide capsule. Interestingly\, BY-kinases possess a structural fold comparable to that of ParA proteins that usually assist ParB in chromosome segregation. We previously showed that the BY-kinase CpsD not only regulates the assembly of the polysaccharide capsule but also interferes with chromosome segregation and cell division of Streptococcus pneumoniae. Indeed\, defective autophosphorylation of CpsD hinders cell division\, generating elongated cells with an aberrant nucleoid morphology. To further analyze the potential relationship between capsule production and the chromosome biology\, we sought for CpsD partners. We found a protein of unknown function that is conserved only in Streptococcaceae. This membrane-bound protein\, we named RocS (Regulator Of Chromosome Segregation)\, interacts also with the DNA and the chromosome partitioning protein ParB. We also demonstrated that the deletion of rocS drastically alters chromosome segregation. In addition\, we observed that the cell elongation resulting from defective autophosphorylation of CpsD is suppressed by the deletion of rocS\, abrogating thus the cell division block. Altogether\, this work reveals that RocS is the cornerstone of a new nucleoid protection system ensuring proper chromosome segregation and cell division in coordination with capsule production. \nFor more information about this seminar and about joining in online\, please contact Hyacinth Camillieri at hcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu
