    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.

Dembski, and Stephen C. Meyer (San Francisco: Ignatius Press, 2001. 2000 Homeland Foundation.) EVIDENCE FOR DESIGN IN PHYSICS AND BIOLOGY: FROM THE ORIGIN OF THE UNIVERSE TO THE ORIGIN OF LIFE 1. Introduction In the preceding essay, mathematician and probability theo- rist William Dembski notes that human beings often detect the prior activity of rational agents in the effects they leave behind.¹ Archaeologists assume, for example, that rational agents pro- duced the inscriptions on the Rosetta Stone; insurance fraud investigators detect certain ‘‘cheating patterns’’ that suggest intentional manipulation of circumstances rather than ‘‘natu- ral’’ disasters; and cryptographers distinguish between random signals and those that carry encoded messages. More importantly, Dembski’s work establishes the criteria by which we can recognize the effects of rational agents and distinguish them from the effects of natural causes. In brief, he shows that systems or sequences that are both ‘‘highly com- plex’’ (or very improbable) and ‘‘specified’’ are always produced by intelligent agents rather than by chance and/or physical- chemical laws. Complex sequences exhibit an irregular and improbable arrangement that defies expression by a simple formula or algorithm. A specification, on the other hand, is a match or correspondence between an event or object and an independently given pattern or set of functional requirements. As an illustration of the concepts of complexity and speci- fication, consider the following three sets of symbols: 53 54 stephen c.

    Vesicular Transport in Cells – from Analysis to Biogenesis

    Powered by Website address: https://www.gesundheitsindustrie- bw.de/en/article/news/vesicular-transport-in-cells-from- analysis-to-biogenesis Vesicular transport in cells – from analysis to biogenesis COPI vesicles, one of the three major types of intracellular transport vesicles, are an excellent example of how the molecular analysis of individual vesicle components can lead to an understanding of the biogenesis and transport mechanisms of membrane vesicles as a whole. The research carried out by Dr. Felix T. Wieland’s team at the University of Heidelberg has made a decisive contribution to such detailed insights. Eukaryotic cells are characterised by complex membrane systems that separate different metabolic compartments from each other at the same time as transporting metabolic products and messenger substances to specific destinations inside the cell and into the extracellular space. The transport is mediated by vesicles that detach from the folded and branched cisternae of intracellular membranes. They either then fuse with intracellular membranes again or with the plasma membrane where the contents of the vesicles, secretory proteins for example, are discharged to the outside of the cell. This process is referred to as exocytosis. The opposite process is known as endocytosis, in which cells take up molecules from the exterior by enveloping them in their cell membrane before releasing them inside the cell. Camillo Golgi (1843-1926). © Universitá degli studi di Pavia The Golgi apparatus, named after the Italian physiologist Camillo Golgi who discovered a method to 1 stain nervous tissue with silver, which led to his discovery in 1898 of the "apparato reticulare interno" in the hippocampal neurons, is integral in modifying and packaging macromolecules for exocytosis or use within the cell (endocytosis).

Interestingly, Nobel Prizes in Physiology or Medicine including the latest one, for the year 2011, has been awarded for twelve times to the field of Immunology. The story began in 1901 with the very first Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine - it was awarded to Emil Von Behring for his pioneering work which resulted in the discovery of antitoxins, later termed as antibodies. Working with Shibasaburo Kitasato, Von Behring found that when animals were injected with tiny doses of weakened forms of tetanus or diphtheria bacteria, their blood extracts contained chemicals released in response, which rendered the pathogens’ toxins harmless. Naming these chemical agents ‘antitoxins’, Von Behring and Erich Wernicke showed that transferring antitoxin-containing blood serum into animals infected with the fully virulent versions of diphtheria bacteria cured the recipients of any symptoms, and prevented death. This was found to be true for humans also; and thus Von Behring’s method of treatment – passive serum therapy – became an essential remedy for diphtheria, saving many thousands of lives every year. Shortly after this, the very first explanation about the mechanisms of immune system’s functioning was proposed which paved way for extensive research in immunology till today. Paul Ehrlich had hit upon the key concept of how antibodies seek and neutralize the toxic actions of bacteria, while Ilya Mechnikov had discovered that certain body cells could destroy pathogens by simply engulfing or “eating” them.
