Contributions made to the proteasome by substrate receptors
Biowulf 20th Anniversary Seminar Series Regulated protein degradation in eukaryotes is performed by the proteasome, which contains a 20S catalytic core particle (CP) capped at either end by a 19S regulatory particle (RP). Proteasome activity is dysregulated in myriad diseases, and specific inhibitors of the CP used to treat hematological cancers. Substrates for the proteasome are typically marked by post-translational addition of ubiquitin chain(s). The proteasome captures such substrates through receptors located in the RP that bind directly to ubiquitin, or to shuttle factors that bind the proteasome with UBL domains an...

2019 Maurice B. Burg Lecture
Maurice B. Burg, the legendary kidney researcher who spent his entire career in the intramural program of NHLBI, was known for innovation in the development of techniques for the study of transport and osmotic regulation in kidney epithelia. His work resulted in a virtual rewriting of renal physiology and nephrology textbooks. One of his early trainees, Robert A. Star, MD, Director of the Division of Kidney, Urologic, and Hematologic Diseases at NIDDK and an intramural investigator himself, will review Burg ’ s technological innovations and show how Burg ’ s work set the stage for breathtaking contemporary innovations ...

Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell Therapies for Hematological Malignancies
CCR Grand Rounds James Kochenderfer, M.D., is a tenure-track investigator in the Experimental Transplantation and Immunology Branch (ETIB) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI). For the past 12 years, Dr. Kochenderfer has focused on a full range of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) research from designing and cons tructing new CARs to conducting clinical trials. Dr. Kochenderfer designed and constructed a novel anti-CD19 CAR and then participated in a clinical trial of this CAR. This clinical trial was the first to demonstrate antigen-specific activity of anti-CD19 CARs in humans. This work in anti-CD19 CAR T cells led to...

PD-1 Cancer Immunotherapy
NCI Center for Cancer Research Eminent Lecture Series Gordon J. Freeman, PhD works in the Department of Medical Oncology at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and is Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Freeman earned his BA in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, and PhD in Microbiology and Molecular Genetics from Harvard University. His research has identified the major pathways that control the immune response by inhibiting T cell activation (PD-1/PD-L1 and B7-2/CTLA-4) or stimulating T cell activation (B7-2/CD28). In 2000, Dr. Freeman discovered PD-L1 and PD-L2, and showed they were ligands for PD-1, thus def...

Hijacking of immune regulatory mechanisms in lymphoid malignancies
Immunology Interest Group Seminar Series Signalling through the B cell receptor (BCR) is central to the development and maintenance of B cells. In light of the numerous proliferative and survival pathways activated downstream of the BCR, it comes as no surprise that malignant B cells would co-opt this receptor to promote their own growth and survival. However, direct evidence for BCR signalling in human lymphoma has only come to light recently. Roles for antigen-dependent and antigen-independent, or tonic, BCR signalling have now been described for several different lymphoma subtypes. Furthermore, correlative data implicat...
