Small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) proteins are small peptides that get added on to other proteins to regulate their activity. While SUMO has many regulatory roles in cells, it is especially important for controlling gene expression during early development. Just a few years ago this connection between SUMO and gene regulation was relatively unknown, but now, Notre Dame researchers are exploring how a disruption to the SUMO proteins ability to regulate embryo development may be linked to congenital heart defects.

Professor Paul Huber

Paul Huber, professor of chemistry and biochemistry, and Norman Dovichi, the Grace-Rupley Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry, are working together to understand the role of all proteins in embryo development using Xenopus laevis or the African claw frog. This species is known for having a similar gene structure to that of the human genome, meaning that findings related to this species have the potential to provide a deep understanding about human diseases.

When discussing their research, Dovichi said, In 2014, Huber and I completed a study using Xenopus laevis embryos to understand how more than 4,000 proteins fluctuate during the different stages of development. We found that certain proteins spike or lower during specific stages. For example, a number of proteins that are used during the creation of cardiovascular tissue rose during stage 13, when organs develop.

Professor Norman Dovichi

In these early experiments, Huber found that when SUMO activity was repressed, many of the embryos had two predominate phenotypes, one of which was heart defects. Then, new studiesbegan linking mutations in SUMO protein to heart failure as well as congenital heart defects. This is when the Notre Dame researchers began to develop the next steps for their research.

At the time, there was not a lot of information about the role of the SUMO protein, but our theory was that it was critical for proper development of the heart, said Huber. To study the proteins specific impact, we inhibited SUMO activity in the developing cardiovascular tissue. This will allow us to compare the proteome or all of the proteins that are expressed by a cell of the defective hearts with their normal counterparts.

To support the research, Olivia Cox, a Notre Dame graduate student, collaborated with Daniel Weeks, professor of biochemistry and pediatrics at the University of Iowa, and identified three predominate heart defects in the SUMO-deficient hearts: septal defects commonly thought of as holes in the heart abnormal turning of the outflow tract, and noncompaction cardiomyopathy.

The goal of this research is to use the proteome comparisons to specifically identify which proteins are responsible for congenital heart defects. Additionally, Huber, affiliated with the Harper Cancer Research Institute (HCRI) and the Center for Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine, and Dovichi, affiliated with Advanced Diagnostics and Therapeutics as well as the HCRI, plan to continue exploring the SUMO proteins significance in other areas of embryo development. This research could help explain why other development defects arise, and eventually lead to a solution for increasing SUMO protein expression when a mutation occurs.

Congenital heart defects impact more than 35,000 newborns in the United States each year and is the most common type of birth defect. To learn more about congenital heart defects, please visit https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/health-topics/topics/chd.

Track 4:Cell Signaling

Cell signalingis part of a complex system of communication that governs basic cellular activities and coordinates cell actions. The ability of cells to perceive and correctly respond to their microenvironment is the basis of development, tissue repair, and immunity as well as normal tissue homeostasis. Errors in cellular information processing are responsible for diseases such as cancer, autoimmunity, and diabetes. By understanding cell signaling, diseases may be treated effectively and, theoretically, artificial tissues may be created. The principle ofcell signalingis hinged on the fact that cellular communication frequently involves converting signals that carry information from one form to another. During cell communication, the signaling cell releases a particular signaling molecule that is then detected by the target cell. Most animal cells send and receive signals and as such act as both signaling and target cells. Animal cells can communicate through direct contact or by secreting local regulators such as growth factors or neurotransmitters.

Track 15:Cell Signaling, Kinase and Chemotherapy

Kinase-mediated signaling plays vital roles in cell growth, differentiation & homeostasis. Kinases signal by switching between on & off conformational states, and many inputs regulate the activity of all specific kinase. Abnormal kinase activity, frequently the result ofmutation, is associated with numerous cancers, and kinase inhibitors have become a highly successful and growing course of anti-cancer agents.Biochemistry2017 will focus on emerging insights into the molecular mechanisms by which kinase activity is regulated and how these insights are influencing strategies to target kinase activity in cancer.

Track 16:Medical Genetics

The science ofMedical Geneticsis concerned with the physical and chemical characteristics of genes and their expression that controls the development & maintenance of the organism.The field of medical genetics is quite new & currently used to describe the cause of severalinherited diseases. The disease typically results in generation of unreliable proteins such as in cases of hemophilia A then more than 200 'inborn errors' of metabolism are recognized in animals, disease conditions such as mannosidosis & galactosemia occur due to lack of a specific protein/enzyme that prohibits metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, fats & thus shows clinical signs.

Biochemistry - Macalester College

Biochemistry emphasis on the study of chemical processes occurring in the living organisms. It is the branch of science that helps to explore the various chemical processes occurring within and related to the living matter and studies these mechanisms by using chemical knowledge and techniques to understand and solve biological problems. Biochemistry deals with the structures, functions and interactions of biological macromolecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates and lipids, which provide the structure of cells and perform many of the functions associated with life.

Welcome to the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Oklahoma. Our mission is to serve the citizens of the State of Oklahoma and the nation through instructing our undergraduate majors, those in cognate disciplines and as part of the general education programs of the College of Arts and Sciences to understand the role of chemistry and biochemistry in the natural world, through professional training of graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, through creating and disseminating new research-based understanding of chemistry and biochemistry, through providing expert advice and consultation to educational, industrial and governmental units, and through participating in service to the university and professional communities.

We are pursuing this mission through our research activities, our instructional programs and our service contributions. Our research activities are housed in our spectacular Stephenson Life Sciences Research Center (SLSRC) on the research campus located south of OUs main campus. Since 2010, these research facilities house our faculty offices, faculty-led research labs, research centers, research support facilities and departmental administration offices.

As described in our faculty research pages, our outstanding and award-winning faculty contribute to the development of new scientific understanding and training of our students and professional research associates.

We are in the process of a major investment of effort and resources in the development of our undergraduate and graduate instructional programs. Our Graduate Program has just been converted to a modular course program in which we offer variable length courses. Coupled to these highly focused courses are related changes to our graduate program that should bring the time to a doctoral degree down to an average of 4.5 years. In our undergraduate instructional programs we are redesigning the curriculum from general chemistry up to the advanced courses. At the core we wish all students taking chemistry to appreciate the role of chemistry in understanding nature. These courses also develop abilities to collect scientific information, process it and reach conclusions while preparing to add to our scientific understanding of nature.

We are also committed to serving the wider community. Information on our summer academies and science-society relations can be found on our Student Lifeweb pages.

We are grateful to our strong network of supporters. For information on how you can contribute efforts or resources to the department, please visit our Supportweb pages.

I hope you find the information you are looking for on these web pages and by following us on Twitter @UOkChemBiochem. If you have additional questions, please contact us.
