SUMMARY:Seminar in Biochemistry\, Biophysics & Biodesign: Alexander Sobolevsky\, Columbia University
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Alexander Sobolevsky\, Associate Professor\, Biochemistry & Molecular Biophysics\, Columbia University\, Irving Medical Center \nTitle: Structural and functional studies of the temperature-sensitive TRP channel TRPV3 \nAbstract: Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels sense temperature in organisms ranging from yeast to human but the molecular mechanisms of thermosensation remain obscure. Here we present structures of the TRP channel TRPV3 in temperaturedependent open\, closed and intermediate states that support a two-step model of its activation in response to heat. During the strongly temperature-dependent first step\, sensitization\, the channel pore remains closed while the S1-S4 and pore domains become more closely associated. The occupancies of lipidbinding sites surrounding these domains are reduced and S6 undergoes an α-t o-π helical transition. During the weakly temperature-dependent second step\, channel opening\, the tight association of the S1-S4 and pore domains results in the complete extrusion of the lipids from their binding sites and splaying of the S6 helices. Together\, these rearrangements are stabilized by structural changes in the linker domain and the C-terminus. Our results inform TRP channel temperature activation and highlight an important role in heat sensing by TRPV3 of its interactions with the surrounding membrane lipids. \nFor more information about this seminar and about joining in online\, please contact Hyacinth Camillieri at hcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:Environmental Sciences Seminar: Donatto Surratt\, U.S. National Park Service
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Donatto Surratt\, U.S. National Park Service \nTitle: Development of a modified floristic quality index as a rapid habitat assessment method in the northern Everglades \nAbstract: Floristic quality assessments (FQA) using floristic quality indices (FQIs) are useful tools for assessing and comparing vegetation communities and related habitat condition. However\, intensive vegetation surveys requiring significant time and technical expertise are necessary\, which limits the use of FQIs in environmental monitoring programs. This study modified standard FQI methods to develop a rapid assessment method for characterizing and modeling change in wetland habitat condition in the northern Everglades. The habitat characterization and assessment tool (HCAT) developed here can be used to monitor\, assess\, and evaluate habitats with the objective of informing management decisions (e.g.\, as a screening tool) to maximize conservation and restoration of protected areas and is transferable to other wetlands withadditional modification. \nBio: Dr. Donatto Surratt holds a Ph.D. in the Environmental Sciences\, which he received in the Environmental Science Institute at Florida A&M University. Dr. Surratt worked in many aspects of biogeochemistry over the last 16 years. Research projects have ranged from radiochemical analysis of soils in a disparaged community (Scarboro\, Oak Ridge\, TN)\, to open ocean (Gulf of Mexico) and estuarine (Apalachicola Bay) sediment and water chemistry assessments\, to wetland (Refuge and Everglades National Park) water chemistry analysis. Presently\, he is employed with the Everglades National Park and located at the ARM Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge) as a part of the Everglades Program Team. He serves as the Everglades National Park’s technical representative on the Technical Oversight Committee; providing guidance for and performance of data analysis and technical summaries. In his position\, information is consistently converted from highly technical data synthesis to useful information aimed at enhancing the ability of management to make decisions with regards to Everglades restoration. \nFor more information about this seminar and about joining in online\, please contact Doris Switzer at dswitzer@gc.cuny.edu
