SUMMARY:Chemical Probes for ATPase Mechanoenzymes: Structural Basis for Activating an Enzyme that can
DESCRIPTION:About his lab: \nProf. Kapoor’s lab studies the molecular mechanisms required for accurate propagation of genetic material during cell division\, with the goal of developing new therapies to treat cancer. Research in the lab has two areas of focus: discovering and developing new tools to probe protein function\, and using them to dissect dynamic cellular processes such as cytoskeleton organization and cell division. \nBIO: \nProf. Kapoor graduated with honors from the California Institute of Technology with bachelor’s degrees in chemistry and biology in 1993. He received his Ph.D. in chemistry in 1998 from Harvard University and did his postdoctoral research at Harvard Medical School. He came to Rockefeller in 2001 as assistant professor and was named associate professor in 2005 and professor in 2008.   \nHe received the 2012 Irving Sigal Young Investigator Award from The Protein Society and a Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Scholar Award in 2008. In 2003 he was named a Pew Fellow in the Biomedical Sciences.  \nProf. Kapoor is a faculty member in the David Rockefeller Graduate Program\, the Tri-Institutional M.D.-Ph.D. Program\, the Tri-Institutional Ph.D. Program in Chemical Biology. and is the Co-Director of the TPCB program.

SUMMARY:Brauer group and its arithmetic for curves over local fields.
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThe Brauer group is an arithmetic invariant associated with a field that classifies all finite-dimensional central division algebras over the given field. In this talk\, we will start by providing some motivation and the definition of the Brauer group of fields. We will then extend this definition to more general objects such as algebraic varieties. For varieties of dimension one (referred to as "curves")\, the Brauer group is closely connected to their Picard group. We will explore this connection in this talk and present some new results on this topic\, which are part of a joint work with Amalendu Krishna and Samiron Sadhukhan. \nAbout the speaker: \nHe is a mathematician who works in the fields of algebraic K-theory and arithmetic geometry. Specifically\, he is interested in problems related to class field theory for varieties\, Chow groups of zero cycles\, and the Brauer group of varieties. \nSince June 2023\, he has been a postdoctoral fellow at the Harish-Chandra Research Institute\, Prayagraj. From 2017 to 2023\, he pursued his PhD at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR)\, Mumbai.

SUMMARY:A zebrafish model of heart valve regurgitation reveals key role for translational control of Furina.
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nHeart development is a complex process\, starting from specification of cardiac precursors\, formation of a linear tube to gradual progression to a functional beating organ. For normal heart development\, many processes including asymmetric positioning of the heart along the left-right (L/R) axis\, cardiac growth\, and cardiac valve morphogenesis must be completed successfully.  The pro-convertase FurinA is a key protein that functions during heart development. Through computational analysis of the zebrafish transcriptome\, we identified a short sequence and structure RNA motif in a variant 3’UTR transcript of FurinA. The alternative 3’UTR furina isoform is expressed at embryonic stages preceding organ positioning. Reporter localization and RNA-binding assays show that thefurina 3'UTR forms complexes with the RNA-binding protein and translational repressor Ybx1. Consistently\, ybx1 mutant zebrafish embryos show premature and increased Furin reporter protein expression\, abnormal cardiac morphogenesis and looping defects. Mutant ybx1 hearts have expanded atrioventricular canal\, abnormal sino-atrial valves and many mutant embryos show retrograde blood flow from the ventricle to the atrium. This is similar to human heart valve regurgitation patients. Our findings show an essential function for the 3’UTR element/Ybx1 regulon in translational repression of FurinA and reveal a new upstream regulatory mechanism that controls heart development and function.   \nAbout the speaker:\nKaruna Sampath is a Professor of Biomedicine\, University of Warwick. Following her doctoral training at Indiana State University\, USA with Gary Stuart she did brief post-doctoral stints with Christopher Wright at Vanderbilt University\, Nashville\, USA (1995-1996)\, and Vladimir Korzh at the Institute of Molecular Agrobiology\, Singapore (1997-1998). She was a visiting scientist in Anne Ephrussi's lab at EMBL in 1999\, and started her independent programme in 2000 as a fellow at the Institute of Molecular Agrobiology\, Singapore. She was a group leader at Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory\, National University of Singapore from 2002-2013. In 2014\, the Sampath lab re-located to the University of Warwick\, and the group is now located in the new IBRB at Warwick. Karuna Sampath served on the International Zebrafish society (IZFS) (2019-2022) and currently serves on the board of the European Zebrafish society (EZS). Sampath mentors early career researchers for writing Science spotlight – technical reports for the IZFS newsletter. She is an Associate Editor for the GSA journal GENETICS\, and serves on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Molecular and Cell Biology. \nhttps://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/med/staff/ksampath/\n
