For this week's FRJC we will participate in the
Free Radical School Virtual Seminar: Redox Signaling Through Protein Cysteine Residues
Speaker: Neil Hogg, Ph.D., Medical College of Wisconsin
Program Overview:
•General Redox signaling mechanisms – Cysteine modifications that can affect protein function (S-thiolation, oxidation, S-nitrosation, iron sulfur cluster disruption, thiyl radical formation) with a focus on thiyl radicals and Fe/S
•Examples of redox signaling mechanisms – Prokaryotic examples: Oxy R and Sox R/S as prototypic vicinal thiol and iron/S cluster targets
•YAP1 in yeast as an a process with intermediary complexity
•Higher eukaryotic examples: Nrf2/Keep1 (thiol modification leading to transcriptional regulation), ASK1/TRX (link between oxidative signaling and phosphorylation cascades to control gene expression)
•Food for thought: Gain in function vs loss of function – does 1% modification of a particular thiol matter?
The Free Radical School Virtual Seminar is sponsored by the Society for Free Radical Biology and Medicine. The Webinar will begin promptly at noon. We will be projecting the slides on our screen in Med Labs B180A.
Oh, by the way -- there will be about a dozen pizzas.
