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  URL:https://asrc.gc.cuny.edu/event/asrc-ccny-seminar-series-in-biochemistry-biophysics-and-biodesign-3/ LOCATION:Advanced Science Research Center (ASRC)\, 85 St. Nicholas Terrace\, New York\, NY\, 10031\, United States CATEGORIES:Structural Biology ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://asrc.gc.cuny.edu/wp-content/uploads/media/event/asrc-ccny-seminar-series-in-biochemistry-biophysics-and-biodesign-3/SBI-Seminar-Fall-2023-website-image.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230906T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230920T170000 DTSTAMP:20260417T143725 CREATED:20230905T140159Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230905T140159Z UID:10001379-1694008800-1695229200@asrc.gc.cuny.edu SUMMARY:4-part lecture series with Prof. Eitan Bachmat DESCRIPTION:Join the ASRC Photonics Initiative in this 4-part lecture series with Prof. Eitan Bachmat\, exploring\, “A multidisciplinary journey in science and technology\, from airplane boarding to designing lenses in hyperbolic metamaterials via space-time geometry.” \nTo participate registering here by Tuesday 9/5/23. \nLecture dates include: \nWednesday September 6\, 2:00pm – 5:00pm \nFriday September 8\, 1:00pm – 4:00pm \nMonday September 18\, 10:00am-1:00pm \nWednesday September 20\,  2:00pm -5:00pm \nContinue to check back for updates and speaker flier to come.

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 URL:https://asrc.gc.cuny.edu/event/asrc-ccny-seminar-series-in-biochemistry-biophysics-and-biodesign-4/ LOCATION:Advanced Science Research Center (ASRC)\, 85 St. Nicholas Terrace\, New York\, NY\, 10031\, United States CATEGORIES:Structural Biology ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://asrc.gc.cuny.edu/wp-content/uploads/media/event/asrc-ccny-seminar-series-in-biochemistry-biophysics-and-biodesign-3/SBI-Seminar-Fall-2023-website-image.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230920T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230920T130000 DTSTAMP:20260417T143725 CREATED:20230505T133904Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230914T131642Z UID:10001361-1695209400-1695214800@asrc.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.
