Systems Biology Interest Group: Learning to rewire cells
Systems Biology Interest Group
Traditionally, biology has focused on deconstructing and mapping the molecular systems that carryout complex regulatory functions. We still lack, however, a more global understanding of the design principles governing how cells solve problems and make regulatory decisions. To address this problem, we have been complementing deconstructionist approaches with synthetic approaches in which we ask how to build molecular systems that can execute particular regulatory tasks. Are there a limited number of molecular algorithms that evolution can use to solve common physiological tasks? If so, can we ...

The secret lives of cells
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
From the 17th through the 19th century, beautifully artistic micrographs of living specimens were inextricably linked to biological discovery. However, for much of the 20th century, optical microscopy took a back seat to the powerful new fields of genetics and biochemistry. Starting in the 1980s, the tables started to turn again, thanks to the widespread availability of computers, lasers, sensitive detectors, and fluorescence labeling techniques. The result has been a Cambrian explosion of new technologies with the ability to understand the findings of genetics and biochemi...

Journey into the Black Hole of the Epigenome
NCI ’ s Center for Cancer Research (CCR) Grand Rounds
Dr. Yamini Dalal became interested in chromosome structure and epigenetic gene regulation during her Baccalaureate years at St. Xavier's College, Bombay, India, where she graduated with a double major in Biochemistry and Life Sciences in 1995. She moved to the United States for her post-graduate work. In Arnold Stein's laboratory at Purdue University, she used classical chromatin biochemistry tools to understand how DNA sequence motifs and linker histones can shape the chromatin structure in silico, in vitro, and in vivo. During this time, she discovered that the regi...

Analysis of RBC Derived Microparticles from Sickle Cell Mice using Mass Spectrometry: The Impact of Sickle Cell Disease Induced Oxidative Stress on MP Proteome
Proteomics Interest Group
Polymerization of sickle cell hemoglobin S (HbS) is recognized as a key event in the pathophysiology of sickle cell disease (SCD). Repeated HbS polymerization promotes an altered red blood cell (RBC) membrane, hemolysis, and microparticles (MP) formation, which have been shown to play a significant role in the interaction of RBCs with vascular endothelium and progression of vaso-occlusive events. We have recently reported that free HbS oxidizes faster, remains locked in a highly oxidizing form (ferryl) longer and loses heme faster than normal HbA. The first part of this seminar will focus on the L...
