    GENES AND PROTEINS THAT CONTROL THE SECRETORY PATHWAY Nobel Lecture, 7 December 2013 by RANDY SCHEKMAN Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, University of California, Berkeley, USA. Introduction George Palade shared the 1974 Nobel Prize with Albert Claude and Christian de Duve for their pioneering work in the characterization of organelles interrelated by the process of secretion in mammalian cells and tissues. These three scholars established the modern field of cell biology and the tools of cell fractionation and thin section transmission electron microscopy. It was Palade’s genius in particular that revealed the organization of the secretory pathway. He discovered the ribosome and showed that it was poised on the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) where it engaged in the vectorial translocation of newly synthesized secretory polypeptides (1). And in a most elegant and technically challenging investigation, his group employed radioactive amino acids in a pulse-chase regimen to show by autoradiograpic exposure of thin sections on a photographic emulsion that secretory proteins progress in sequence from the ER through the Golgi apparatus into secretory granules, which then discharge their cargo by membrane fusion at the cell surface (1). He documented the role of vesicles as carriers of cargo between compartments and he formulated the hypothesis that membranes template their own production rather than form by a process of de novo biogenesis (1). As a university student I was ignorant of the important developments in cell biology; however, I learned of Palade’s work during my first year of graduate school in the Stanford biochemistry department.

    Unrestricted Immigration and the Foreign Dominance of United States Nobel Prize Winners in Science: Irrefutable Data and Exemplary Family Narratives—Backup Data and Information Andrew A. Beveridge, Queens and Graduate Center CUNY and Social Explorer, Inc. Lynn Caporale, Strategic Scientific Advisor and Author The following slides were presented at the recent meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. This project and paper is an outgrowth of that session, and will combine qualitative data on Nobel Prize Winners family histories along with analyses of the pattern of Nobel Winners. The first set of slides show some of the patterns so far found, and will be augmented for the formal paper. The second set of slides shows some examples of the Nobel families. The authors a developing a systematic data base of Nobel Winners (mainly US), their careers and their family histories. This turned out to be much more challenging than expected, since many winners do not emphasize their family origins in their own biographies or autobiographies or other commentary. Dr. Caporale has reached out to some laureates or their families to elicit that information. We plan to systematically compare the laureates to the population in the US at large, including immigrants and non‐immigrants at various periods. Outline of Presentation • A preliminary examination of the 609 Nobel Prize Winners, 291 of whom were at an American Institution when they received the Nobel in physics, chemistry or physiology and medicine • Will look at patterns of

First, our frontpage news that our benefactor Fred Kavli passed away. Kavli passed away I very well remember when I met him for the fi rst time, in 2003: Fred was a soft spoken and kind man, with a strong determination to use his busi- ness-generated fortune to advance science for the benefi t of humanity by supporting scientists and their work. Throughout the years I inter- acted with him a number of times, where this fi rst impression was re- confi rmed time and again. Now he has passed away. We will miss him, and continue the nanoscien- ce at Delft that he has supported so generously. Also, this month, we celebrate our 10-year birthday as a Kavli Insti- tute. For this occasion, Hans Mooij recalls the history of the start of our institute - a very interesting story in- deed, read it on page 6-7. Finally, this newsletter features our Kavli Colloquium speaker Hongkun Park, introductory self-interviews by Marileen Dogterom and Greg On 21 November 2013, the Kavli Foundation announced that its Bokinsky, wonderful columns, and more. founder Fred Kavli has passed away peacefully in his home in Santa Enjoy!

    the liman center reports: 2020 Undaunted in Daunting Times The Arthur Liman Center for Public Interest Law at Yale Law School About the Liman Center The Arthur Liman Center for Public Interest Law promotes access to justice and the fair treatment of individuals and groups seeking to use the legal system. Through research, teaching, fellowships, and colloquia, the Liman Center supports efforts to bring about a more just legal system. Yale Law School established the Arthur Liman Public Interest Program in 1997 with the support of friends and family of Arthur Liman ’57. In 2017, the program became the Arthur Liman Center for Public Interest Law. About Arthur Liman Arthur Liman exemplified commitment to the public interest. A highly respected attorney in private practice at Paul Weiss Rifkind & Garrison, Liman devoted much of his time to public service. He was General Counsel to the special commission investigating the 1971 uprising at the New York State prison at Attica and lead counsel for the 1987 Senate investigation of the Iran-Contra affair. Thereafter, Arthur Liman continued to work for reform of the criminal legal system. He helped to establish a number of legal aid organizations, including the Legal Action Center, working to end discrimination against people who have been incarcerated and to reform drug laws. Liman also served as President of the Legal Aid Society of New York and of the Neighborhood Defender Services of Harlem, as a Trustee of the Vera Institute of Justice, and as the Chair of the New York State Capital Defender’s Office.

But drivers know how to follow the signs and roadways to reach their destinations. How do different cellular proteins "read" molecular signposts to find their way inside or outside of a cell? For the past three decades, Randy Schekman has been characterizing the traffic drivers that shuttle cellular proteins as they move in membrane-bound sacs, or vesicles, within a cell. His detailed elucidation of cellular travel patterns has provided fundamental knowledge about cells and has enhanced understanding of diseases that arise when bottlenecks impede some of the protein flow. His work earned him one of the most prestigious prizes in science, the 2002 Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research, which he shared with James Rothman.

    Nobel Laureates at the College of Physicians and Surgeons For years, College of Physicians and Surgeons alumni, faculty, and researchers have led groundbreaking clinical and basic scientific studies that have transformed our understanding of human biology and advanced the practice of medicine. On many occasions, this work has been honored with the Nobel Prize. The scope of research led by P&S Nobel laureates is tremendous. Although most of our prizewinners were honored for work in physiology or medicine, a few also received the prize for chemistry. Their research has fundamentally shaped the course of numerous fields, including cardiology, neuroscience, genetics, pharmaceutical development, and more. Our Nobel laureates include: André Cournand and Dickinson Richards (P&S’23), whose work at P&S on cardiac catheterization—a method of inserting a tiny tube into the heart—provided the basis for open-heart surgery and interventional cardiology Baruch Blumberg (P&S’51), who discovered the hepatitis B virus and helped develop a test and a vaccine for the virus Joshua Lederberg, a Columbia College and P&S graduate student who showed that bacteria can exchange genes when they reproduce, creating a way to model and study genetics in higher organisms Harold Varmus (P&S’66), who demonstrated how genes in normal human and animal cells can mutate to cause cancer, leading to a new generation of research on the genetic origins of cancer Eric Kandel, current University Professor, who showed how memories are stored in nerve cells, greatly enhancing
