    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.

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.

    Asilomar Conference on Laboratory Precautions When Conducting Recombinant DNA Research – Case Summary M.J

    International Dimensions of Ethics Education in Science and Engineering Case Study Series Asilomar Conference on Laboratory Precautions When Conducting Recombinant DNA Research – Case Summary M.J. Peterson with research assistance from Paul White Version 1, June 2010 Safe laboratory practices are an important element in the responsible conduct of research. They protect scientists, research assistants, laboratory technicians, and others from hazards that can arise during experimentation. The particular hazards that might arise vary according to the type of experimentation: the explosions or toxic gases that could result from chemical experiments are prevented or contained by different kinds of measures then are used to limit the health hazards posed by working with radioactive isotopes. In most areas, scientists are allowed – and even encouraged – to decide for themselves what experiments to undertake and how to construct and run their labs. In 1970, there were three main exceptions, and they applied more to questions of how to carry out research than to selecting topics for research: use of radioactive materials, use of tumor-causing viruses, and use of human subjects. In these areas, levels of risk to persons inside and outside the lab were perceived as great enough to justify having the government, either through the regular bureaucracy or through scientific agencies, set and enforce mandatory safety standards. When genetics was poised at the threshold of recombinant DNA research and genetic manipulation techniques in the 1960s, the hazards such work might pose to lab personnel or to others were unknown. Many scientists and others believed they were likely to be significant. The primary concern in public discussion was whether hybrid organisms bred from recombinant DNA would cause new diseases or create varieties of plants or animals that would overwhelm and irretrievably change the natural environment.

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.

The duo, who became the voice of the ABC series during its six-season run, have met up in Lindelof's office on the WBR lot in Burbank to reflect on Lost's cultural legacy exactly ten years after shooting the show's pilot. This particular hatch is made of papier-mâché and smaller than you might imagine because it was used for exterior shots during a later season of the show, but it's still indescribably thrilling to find yourself hanging out at the hatch with these two guys. Advertisement - Continue Reading Below Lost premiered in September of 2004 and quickly spiraled into one of the most compelling, divisive shows on TV. Its unconventional, complexly wrought structure, enigmatic characters, and collection of perplexing mysteries became an immediate part of the cultural conversation, engaging fans in a truly obsessive way. It's arguable that no show since has generated such an extreme level of viewer involvement and debate that continues nearly four years after its finale aired. Lindelof and Cuse, who note that they hope to work together again in the future, remain as involved as the fans, and had some thoughts on why exactly Lost affected pop culture so deeply. Just don't ask them if you can take the hatch home with you. ESQUIRE.COM: So I have one really burning question about Lost that has bothered me for years and I have to ask it first: In season one, why were Sayid's fingernails so weirdly long? DAMON LINDELOF: Because Naveen Andrews liked to play the guitar between set-ups at night in an effort to lull the cast into submission.

    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

    Maxine Singer, Date? (Sometime in Early 2015)

    Oral History: Maxine Singer, date? (sometime in early 2015) CAF: Alright Donald, why don’t you start DPS: Well, when did you meet Caryl, Caryl Haskins and how did this meeting come about? MS: I think, but I’m not really sure, that the first time I met him might have been at a Yale Corporation meeting, and it was probably 1975, if I have to guess, because that’s when I went on the corporation. And he had already been a member. So I’m pretty sure I met him at that meeting. DPS: OK. I’ll go on. We have a record of his activities as President of the Carnegie Institution. What would you regard as the facets of his leadership that were most revealing about him? MS: Well, I think the most revealing thing about him was the fact that he convinced the trustees to close down the Department of Genetics. So: Could you remind me what years he was president? DPS: ’56 to ’71, I believe. MS: Right. So I think the…In my judgment anyway. Maybe other people would feel differently. But in my judgment, that was the single, most important thing he did. CAF: Why is that? DPS: What led him to do that? MS: So this is a good, an interesting question about which we have only fragmentary knowledge. The long time director of the department, whose name was Demerec, retired. And Demerec was a classical geneticist, which is something that Caryl understood. And the people who were coming up, and even some of the people who there, were beginning to study genetics as a molecular science, tied to biochemistry in various ways, which was certainly the new world and the world of science that proved to be incredibly productive.
