  • The Molecular Mechanism of Synchronous Neurotransmitter Release at Synapses
    • - James E. Rothman, Ph.D., Director and Founder of the Nanobiology Institute, Yale School of Medicine (2012/11/17)
    • - Category : Wednesday Afternoon Lectures
    Membrane fusion is a fundamental biological process for organelle formation, nutrient uptake, and the secretion of hormones and neurotransmitters.

    Synchronous transmitter release enables neural circuits to keep pace, and results when docked synaptic vesicles are rapidly triggered to fuse with the pre-synaptic plasma membrane by calcium ions entering the nerve terminal. Membrane fusion in the nerve terminal and elsewhere is mediated by SNARE proteins, which assemble between the vesicle and plasma membrane. Biochemical studies have recently established that only two additional synapse-specific proteins???synaptotagmin and complexin???are needed to synchronize release by SNAREs and to add calcium dependence. Complexin cross-links assembling SNAREs into a highly co-operative array, freezing the frame of vesicle fusion to synchronize the readily-releasable pool. Upon binding calcium, Synaptotagmin releases the frozen SNAREs enabling them to rapidly complete assembly and release transmitter at the right time and place.

    James Edward Rothman is one of the world???s most distinguished biochemists and cell biologists and renowned for discovering the universal machinery that orchestrates the budding and fusion of membrane vesicles???a process essential to organelle formation, nutrient uptake, and secretion of hormones and neurotransmitters. He studied physics as an undergraduate at Yale and received his Ph.D. degree in biological chemistry from Harvard. He has been a professor at Stanford, Princeton, and Columbia, and founded and chaired the Department of Cellular Biochemistry and Biophysics at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. Dr. Rothman has received numerous awards and honors in recognition of his work including the Lasker Basic Science Award (2002), and the Kavli Prize for Neuroscience (2010). He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and its Institute of Medicine, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

    Geometric Folding Algorithms: Linkages, Origami, Polyhedra

    Dr. Erik Demaine is one of the stars of the recent PBS program ???Between the Folds???. Examples of some of his amazing artwork are currently on display at the Renwick Gallery in D.C. His work has important implications for protein folding and social network analysis, as well as many other fields.

    What forms of origami can be designed automatically by algorithms? How might we build reconfigurable robots like Transformers or Terminator 3, hinging together a collection of pieces that dynamically reconfigure into arbitrary shapes? When can a robotic arm of rigid rods be folded into a desired configuration? What shapes can result by folding a piece of paper flat and making one complete straight cut? What 3D surfaces can be manufactured from a single sheet of material? How might proteins fold?

    Geometric folding is a branch of discrete and computational geometry that addresses these and many other intriguing questions. I will give a taste of the many results that have been proved in the past several years, as well as the several exciting unsolved problems that remain open. Many folding problems have applications in areas including manufacturing, robotics, graphics, and protein folding.

  • Mechanisms underlying microbial translocation and therapeutic interventions to reduce microbial translocation-associated immune activation
    • - Jason M. Brenchley, Ph.D. (2012/11/07)
    • - Category : NIH Directors Seminars
    Directors Seminar Series:

    A multifaceted activation of the immune system is a hallmark of the chronic phase of immunodeficiency lentiviral infections. It is manifest by: increased T cell turnover, increased frequencies of T cells with an activated phenotype, and an increase in proinflammatory molecules in the plasma. Importantly, the extent of immune activation is a stronger predictor of disease progression than either CD4+ T cell count or plasma viral load.

    The importance of immune activation to pathogenesis in HIV/SIV infections is highlighted by the low levels of chronic activation seen in natural hosts of SIV that do not progress to AIDS. The consequences of immune activation include the generation of activated CD4+ T cell targets for the virus, attrition of the memory CD4+ T cell pool and high frequencies of terminally differentiated and exhausted memory T and B cells. However the underlying mechanisms of immune activation during infection are not well understood.

    We recently demonstrated that one cause of immune activation is the translocation of microbial products from the lumen of the intestine into the periphery. These microbial products can directly stimulate the immune system via pathogen associated molecular pattern recognition receptors, such as Toll like receptors. Our recent efforts have been aimed at understanding the mechanisms underlying microbial translocation and in studying potential therapeutic interventions which curb microbial translocation-induced immune activation.
