Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee (RAC) June 2009 - Day 2
The RAC is a technical committee whose goal is to consider the current state of knowledge and technology regarding recombinant DNA. This includes review of human gene transfer trials, and an assessment of the ability of DNA recombinants to survive in nature and the potential for transfer of genetic material to other organisms. It also considers hypothetical hazards and methods for monitoring and minimizing risks. Approximately one-third of the 15 members do not have scientific expertise but represent public interests and attitudes. This balance is intended to provide a forum for open public debate of social and scientific ...

New Frontiers in Psychiatric Disorder Research (HHS-Only)
Psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, and obsessive compulsive disorder have huge costs to society. An estimated one in four adults in America, or almost 58 million people, suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year. Many of the major psychiatric disorders are life-long illnesses, with lost productivity and costs to our health care system that span decades. Progress in treating these disorders has been slow, because the underlying biological dysfunctions have remained unknown. However, by now exploiting the dramatic improvements that have occurred in gen...

Pathways of Memory CD8 T Cell Development During Infection
Susan Kaech will be visiting NIH on May 20th as our speaker for the IIG seminar series. As most of you probably know, Sue has been at the forefront of characterizing the CD8+ T cell response to viral infections both as a post-doc in Rafi Ahmed's lab and since starting her own group at Yale in 2004. She has recently focused on finding ways of discriminating short-lived effector T cells from the precursors of long-lasting memory T cells in response to model pathogens. Sue is an engaging speaker and this should be a great seminar.
Recent publications from her lab include these:

Prefrontal control of fear expression: translational studies in rats and humans
Classical studies of fear learning have emphasized the central role of the amygdala in acquiring and expressing fear memories. Recent work, however, is emphasizing the role of the medial prefrontal cortex in regulating the expression of these memories, via descending projections to the amygdala and other structures. In rats, converging evidence from recording, infusion, and microstimulation studies indicate that the infralimbic and prelimbic subregions of mPFC serve as “on” and “off” switches for fear expression. Plasticity in the infralimbic cortex is essential for retrieval of extinction memory, and is modulated ...

Mechanisms of Protein Translocation Across Membranes
Many proteins in bacteria are transported during their biosynthesis across or are integrated into the plasma membrane, a process that is similar to protein translocation across endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane in eukaryotes. Transport occurs through a protein-conducting channel that is formed from a conserved heterotrimeric membrane protein complex (SecY or Sec61 complex). The channel associates with different partners in different translocation pathways. In bacteria, the SecY channel can associate with the translating ribosome (co-translational translocation) or with the cytoplasmic ATPase SecA (post-translational tran...
