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

SUMMARY:Improving DEI in STEM
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of the Communicating Your Science series. \nJoin us on the third Friday of the month at 2 pm for a series of talks and workshops aimed at helping STEM professionals publish and communicate their research. This series will feature presentations by The Graduate Center’s science librarian and communications staff\, journal editors\, and reporters. The goal of this series is to enhance the professional development and science communication skills of CUNY STEM faculty\, postdocs\, and students. \n\nAnswering the Call for Diverse & Inclusive Voices in STEM \nJoin us on Friday\, April 30\, 2021 at 2 p.m. for a Communicating Your Science session on the critical role of diverse and inclusive voices in STEM.\nNumerous studies have concluded that diversity and inclusion in STEM not only makes for better science\, it also promotes better dissemination of scientific findings. Despite this evidence\, the STEM is world struggling to diversify the faces and voices of its researchers and policymakers. \nJoin us for a lively webinar to learn how you can use your voice to promote diversity and inclusion. We’ll cover: \n\nWhy diverse perspectives and voices are critical to advancing science (CUNY ASRC Exec. Dir. Nina Gray)\nHow inclusion and diversity can help fix data bias (Ranjit Singh\, Data & Society)\nUsing your own unique experience to champion diversity in the sciences (Astrophysicist Eileen Gonzales\, Ph.D. [GC\, CUNY ’20]\, Cornell University)\nThe role of diverse voices in science storytelling (Ari Daniel\, NPR & Story Collider)\n\nYou can sign-up here for this month’s Communicating Your Science event. \nCheck out the new Graduate Center Science Communications Academy webpage\, where you can learn about our events and access science communications training tools.
