    The Small Ubiquitin-related Mmodifier in the Stress Response and the Use of Mass Spectrometry/SUMmOn for Identification of Ubiquitin and Ubiquitin-like Protein Conjugation Sites

    No full text
    Ubiquitin (Ub) and the ubiquitin-like proteins (Ubls) are polypeptides that can be covalently conjugated to a variety of “target” molecules to modulate their turnover rate, localization and/or function. The full range of Ubl functions is only beginning to be understood. The Raught lab is using mass spectrometry and high throughput screening methods, along with standard cell biology and biochemistry approaches, to better understand Ubl function. Here, I describe the role of a Ubl called small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) in the budding yeast alcohol stress response. We identified a regulatory mechanism of the SUMO system, involving modulation of the localization of a SUMO protease. Secondly, using mass spectrometry (MS), I assisted in identifying several yeast and mammalian Ubl “chain” linkages. Finally, I propose an integrated MS methodology designed to complement standard database software for the confident identification of Ub/Ubl conjugation sites.MAS

    PPP1R35 is a novel centrosomal protein that regulates centriole length in concert with the microcephaly protein RTTN

    No full text
    Centrosome structure, function, and number are finely regulated at the cellular level to ensure normal mammalian development. Here, we characterize PPP1R35 as a novel bona fide centrosomal protein and demonstrate that it is critical for centriole elongation. Using quantitative super-resolution microscopy mapping and live-cell imaging we show that PPP1R35 is a resident centrosomal protein located in the proximal lumen above the cartwheel, a region of the centriole that has eluded detailed characterization. Loss of PPP1R35 function results in decreased centrosome number and shortened centrioles that lack centriolar distal and microtubule wall associated proteins required for centriole elongation. We further demonstrate that PPP1R35 acts downstream of, and forms a complex with, RTTN, a microcephaly protein required for distal centriole elongation. Altogether, our study identifies a novel step in the centriole elongation pathway centered on PPP1R35 and elucidates downstream partners of the microcephaly protein RTTN.</p

    In Honour of Brian MacWhinney: A Personal Account

    No full text
    While this volume and the writings have made it amply clear what significant contributions Professor Brian MacWhinney has made to the field at large, in this afterword, we begin with a senior member of our author team (Ping Li, PL) followed by a mid-career member (Helen Zhao, HZ) and an early career member (Zhe Gao, ZG), to provide our personal accounts of Brian not only as a leading scholar but also as a role model who touches and changes people&rsquo;s lives

    Interview with Brian Alleyne, Sociologist Studying KDE

    No full text
    A few months ago, the British journal Sociology published an article titled "Challenging Code: A Sociological Reading of the KDE Free Software Project". Eager to find out what a 'sociological reading' of KDE entails, Dot editor Oriol Mirosa rushed to contact the article's author, sociologist Brian Alleyne, who graciously and patiently agreed to be the subject of an interview

    Understanding Author Rights

    No full text
    Author Rights is the term used to describe a researcher\u27s rights related to their published work. In this session, Brian Young will: 1) provide an overview of author rights, 2) explain language often used in the publication agreement, and 3) demonstrate a tool (Sherpa Romeo) that can be used to quickly understand what default rights you have (and lose) when you publish with a specific journal
