Bacterial Effectors: Masters of Immune Manipulation
No
Research
Host: Philip Cohen
Venue: MSI Small Lecture Theatre, SLS
Abstract:
In the Thurston group we study the molecular mechanisms that impact the fate of intracellular bacteria, encompassing the host innate immune responses that restrict pathogens and the bacterial virulence proteins that promote pathogenesis. From studying how the intracellular Gram-negative pathogen, Salmonella, polarises macrophages via the unprecedented mechanism of kinase reprogramming to how Burkholderia reverses RNF213-mediated LPS ubiquitylation, we are obsessed with understanding the often unusual and remarkable functions of diverse virulence proteins. Here, I will focus on our current understanding of kinase reprogramming, a process mediated by the Salmonella effector SteE, which forces the serine/threonine kinase GSK3 to now mediate the tyrosyl phosphorylation of neosubstrates.
Bio:
Teresa completed a PhD with Felix Randow at the MRC laboratory of Molecular Biology, identifying new mediators of antibacterial autophagy. After this she carried out a postdoc with David Holden at Imperial, obtaining an early career Leverhulme Fellowship and then an Imperial College Research Fellowship, working on the molecular mechanisms of Salmonella effectors. She started her independent lab as a BBSRC David Philips Fellow, working on bacterial effectors and was awarded an ERC grant to work on the concept of kinase reprogramming. Teresa is now an Associate Professor and EMBO Young Investigator at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology in Oxford

Parking Charges
Parking at Wilson House is for visitors and staff only, there is a small charge for using the designated carpark. Parking without a permit, or other infringements, will incur a charge of £85 per day. Further information on parking infringements can be found on the University of Dundee website under 'car parking' (link to UoD parking).
Staff, students, or visitors with a local authority-issued Blue Badge may park for free, without a permit, in designated accessible parking bays only. Staff require a permit to use the car park and should be aware of how to organise this.
Visitors
If you have been invited by a member of staff for a business meeting, guest lecture, or other official business, you can use the code supplied by staff for a visitor permit to park on City Campus during office hours.
Visitor permits are valid from 08:00-00:00
Monday-Friday and cost £5 per day.
Location Code: supplied on request
You will need a RingGo account to use this service.
Once you find an available space, you should pay the parking charge using RingGo.
You need to use the visitor location code supplied, not the standard location code. This will not appear using the "near me" function.

"Degrons: Cancer mutation hotspots and tools for synthetic biology"
No
Research
Host: Professor Alessio Ciulli
Venue: CeTPD Seminar Room
Abstract
Degrons are motifs within proteins that determine degradation rates. This talk will cover two projects which highlight the importance of natural degrons in cancer, and synthetic degrons for chemical genetic protein control. First, I will discuss collaborative work which used saturation genome editing to dissect the consequence of all possible missense mutations in the endogenous degron of ß-Catenin, which is one of the most frequently mutated regions in the genome of several human cancer types. This revealed a gradient of effects on canonical wnt pathway activation resulting from different cancer mutations, and activation strength could be used to predict the extent of immune cell infiltration in hepatocellular carcinoma patients. Second, I will discuss our efforts to adapt synthetic degron tag technology for studying protein function and modelling protein degrader drug activity in mouse models, which we are undertaking as part of the MRC National Mouse Genetics Network. We have generated mice expressing a single synthetic biosensor protein that can be degraded via dTAG, BromoTag, and AID2 ligands. This has enabled us to evaluate each system in living tissues, and to obtain insights on degrader drug pharmacology.

In-Person only
This Seminar is fully funded by external sources
Hosts: Jason Swedlow, Angus Lamond & Melpi Platani
Venue: Sir Kenneth & Lady Noreen Murray Seminar Room, CTIR 2.84
Abstract:
Advanced cellular models are an essential preclinical tool in drug discovery and development, as they incorporate the genetic sequence of the individuals from whom they are derived. Yet, of the thousands of such models available globally, only two have been developed end-to-end on the African continent. Given that Africa harbours more genetic diversity than the rest of the world combined—and that this diversity contributes significantly to suboptimal treatment outcomes—there is an urgent need to establish African-derived, African-made preclinical tools that are accessible to the global research community.
