Four decades have passed since then, but the role of 5-methylcytosine in eukaryotic DNA metabolism is still shrouded in mystery. We know that the sperm methylation pattern is largely The erased after fertilization and that methylation is gradually reintroduced Charles Rodolphe Brupbacher Prize during embryogenesis and differentiation, but the processes that for Cancer Research 2017 regulate the cell type- and tissue-specific methylation patterns remain is awarded to to be elucidated. We have also learned that DNA can be not only methylated, but also demethylated, and that aberrant methylation can lead to disease - including cancer. Again, how these processes are regulated remains to be discovered. However, we have learnt a great Sir Adrian Peter Bird, deal about 5-methylcytosine metabolism during the past three decades and much of our knowledge came from the laboratory of Adrian Bird.

  • The Birth of the Hong Kong Laureate Forum
    The Birth of the Hong Kong Laureate Forum On 26 September 2017, I attended the Shaw Prize Award Presentation Ceremony for the first time as Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. On that occasion, five distinguished scientists in Astronomy, Life Science and Medicine, and Mathematical Sciences were honoured. They are distinguished individuals who have achieved significant breakthrough in academic and scientific research and whose work has resulted in a positive and profound impact on mankind. As I was then drawing up a multi-pronged strategy to develop innovation and technology in Hong Kong, including the promotion of popular science education, I asked myself how we could bring together this pool of great scientific minds to help nurture the next generation of young scientists. This was the beginning of a year-long endeavour to create the Hong Kong Laureate Forum. I presented prizes at the Shaw Prize Award Presentation Ceremony 2017. From right are Laureate in Astronomy, Professor Simon DM White; Laureate in Life Science and Medicine, Professor Ronald D Vale; Laureates in Mathematical Sciences, Professor János Kollár and Professor Claire Voisin. Another Laureate in Life Science and Medicine, Professor Ian R Gibbons, did not attend the Ceremony. 1 Under the vision and generosity of the late Sir Run Run Shaw and with the unfailing support of his wife the late Lady Shaw, the Shaw Prize was established in 2002 to recognize advances and outstanding contributions in three disciplines, namely, Astronomy, Life Science and Medicine, and Mathematical Sciences. In less than two decades, the Shaw Prize has become a world-renowned award for the highest achievements in mankind.

  • Communicating Biochemistry: Meetings and Events
    © The Authors. Volume compilation © 2011 Portland Press Limited Chapter 3 Communicating Biochemistry: Meetings and Events Ian Dransfield and Brian Beechey Scientific conferences organized by the Biochemical Society represent a key facet of activity throughout the Society’s history and remain central to the present mission of promoting the advancement of molecular biosciences. Importantly, scientific conferences are an important means of communicating research findings, establishing collaborations and, critically, a means of cementing the community of biochemical scientists together. However, in the past 25 years, we have seen major changes to the way in which science is communicated and also in the way that scientists interact and establish collabo- rations. For example, the ability to show videos, “fly through” molecular structures or show time-lapse or real-time movies of molecular events within cells has had a very positive impact on conveying difficult concepts in presentations. However, increased pressures on researchers to obtain/maintain funding can mean that there is a general reluctance to present novel, unpublished data. In addition, the development of email and electronic access to scientific journals has dramatically altered the potential for communi- cation and accessibility of information, perhaps reducing the necessity of attending meetings to make new contacts and to hear exciting new science. The Biochemical Society has responded to these challenges by progressive development of the meetings format to better match the

  • Role of DNA Methyl-Cpg-Binding Protein Mecp2 in Rett Syndrome Pathobiology and Mechanism of Disease
    biomolecules Review Role of DNA Methyl-CpG-Binding Protein MeCP2 in Rett Syndrome Pathobiology and Mechanism of Disease Shervin Pejhan † and Mojgan Rastegar * Regenerative Medicine Program, and Department of Biochemistry and Medical Genetics, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, Max Rady College of Medicine, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, MB R3E 0J9, Canada; pejhans3@myumanitoba.ca * Correspondence: mojgan.rastegar@umanitoba.ca; Tel.: +1-(204)-272-3108; Fax: +1-(204)-789-3900 † Current Address: Neuropathology Program, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry, Western University, London, ON N6A 5C, Canada. Abstract: Rett Syndrome (RTT) is a severe, rare, and progressive developmental disorder with patients displaying neurological regression and autism spectrum features. The affected individuals are primarily young females, and more than 95% of patients carry de novo mutation(s) in the Methyl- CpG-Binding Protein 2 (MECP2) gene. While the majority of RTT patients have MECP2 mutations (classical RTT), a small fraction of the patients (atypical RTT) may carry genetic mutations in other genes such as the cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5 (CDKL5) and FOXG1. Due to the neurological basis of RTT symptoms, MeCP2 function was originally studied in nerve cells (neurons). However, later research highlighted its importance in other cell types of the brain including glia. In this regard, scientists benefitted from modeling the disease using many different cellular systems and transgenic mice with loss- or gain-of-function mutations. Additionally, limited research in human postmortem brain tissues provided invaluable findings in RTT pathobiology and disease mechanism. MeCP2 expression in the brain is tightly regulated, and its altered expression leads to abnormal brain function, implicating MeCP2 in some cases of autism spectrum disorders.
