I invite you to take part in Temple University’s community programs. We offer more than 300 of them! That’s why we created this Guide to Community Resources at Temple University. It is your entryway to everything from a job-shadowing program for youths to afterschool programs led by local grandparents. Are you interested in continuing your education? Check out our Pan-African Studies Community Education Program (PASCEP). PASCEP has been a local institution for more than 40 years, and its new director, Ulicia Lawrence-Oladeinde—a two-time Temple graduate—plans to upgrade its offerings and seek more community input. Do you need help getting healthy food? Consider our Farm to Families program, which provides fresh fruit, veggies and produce to the families of children who receive pediatric care at Temple Hospital. Temple physicians can refer patients to the program with a “FreshRx prescription”—or, a coupon for discounted food. If you are interested in entertainment, come to our athletics games. If you live in one of the ZIP codes around our Main Campus and Health Campus, you can purchase half-price tickets to Temple football and basketball games. I have been at Temple since 1976. That means I’ve had the privilege of interacting with the residents of this great community and city for more than four decades. As Temple’s new president, I’m committed to having a great relationship with all of our neighbors. I hope you find our community programs fulfilling, helpful and fun. Sincerely, Richard M. Englert President, Temple University 2 COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY RELATIONS By supporting volunteerism and partnering with leading community organizations, Temple’s Office of Community Relations is a gateway to the many resources the university offers its neighbors.

Aaron Ciechanover and Avram Hershko, from the Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, and Irwin Rose, of the University of California, Irvine, will share the prize for their discoveries in the 1970s and 1980s that began to reveal the central role of the tiny 76-amino acid protein in numerous cellular processes. "Thanks to the work of the three laureates, it is now possible to understand at a molecular level how the cell controls a number of central processes by breaking down certain proteins and not others," the academy said. "Without doubt they deserve this prize," John Mayer, professor of molecular cell biology at the University of Nottingham, told us. "Protein modification by ubiquitylation is just as important as protein phosphorylation for what goes on in the cell." Ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation governs processes as varied as cell division, DNA repair, quality control of newly produced proteins, and parts of the immune system. Problems with the ubiquitin–proteosome system are implicated in human diseases including cervical cancer and cystic fibrosis. "The reason they've got this Nobel Prize is because ubiquitin is attached to proteins in different ways not only for degradation, but also to make other things happen in the cell," Mayer added.

    Ubiquitin-Mediated Proteolysis the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2004 Is

    Advanced information on the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 6 October 2004 Information Department, P.O. Box 50005, SE-104 05 Stockholm, Sweden Phone: +46 8 673 95 00, Fax: +46 8 15 56 70, E-mail: [email protected], Website: www.kva.se Ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis The Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2004 is shared between three scientists who have made fundamental discoveries concerning how cells regulate the breakdown of intracellular proteins with extreme specificity as to target, time and space. Aaron Ciechanover, Avram Hershko and Irwin Rose together discovered ubiquitin- mediated proteolysis, a process where an enzyme system tags unwanted proteins with many molecules of the 76-amino acid residue protein ubiquitin. The tagged proteins are then transported to the proteasome, a large multisubunit protease complex, where they are degraded. Numerous cellular processes regulated by ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis include the cell cycle, DNA repair and transcription, protein quality control and the immune response. Defects in this proteolysis have a causal role in many human diseases, including a variety of cancers. Fig. 1 Ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis and its many biological functions 2 Introduction Eukaryotic cells, from yeast to human, contain some 6000 to 30000 protein-encoding genes and at least as many proteins. While much attention and research had been devoted to how proteins are synthesized, the reverse process, i.e. how proteins are degraded, long received little attention. A pioneer in this field was Schoenheimer, who in 1942 published results from isotope tracer techniques indicating that proteins in animals are continuously synthesized and degraded and therefore are in a dynamic state (Schoenheimer, 1942).

Today, Temple University Hospital is a 714-bed non-profit acute care hospital that provides a comprehensive range of medical services to its North Philadelphia neighborhoods, as well as a broad spectrum of secondary, tertiary, and quaternary care to patients throughout Southeastern Pennsylvania. Temple University Hospital serves one of our nation’s most economically challenged and diverse urban populations. About 84% of the patients served by Temple University Hospital are covered by government programs, including 31% by Medicare and 53% by Medicaid. We are an indispensable provider of health care in the largest city in America without a public hospital. Among Pennsylvania’s full-service safety-net providers, Temple University Hospital serves the greatest volume and highest percentage of patients covered by Medicaid. Temple University Hospital also serves as a critical access point for vital public health services.
