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.

Chemistry & Biochemistry

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.

Current research topics in the field of Biochemistry and Cell Biology include:

Due to the high incidence of both breast and prostate cancer, there is a growing need for a specific screening method for the early diagnosis and implementation of therapy. A better understanding of the pathogenic process in breast and prostate cancer will facilitate the identification of novel biomarkers for the early detection of these cancers. Endosomes and lysosomes are directly involved in the critical processes of energy metabolism, cell division and intracellular signalling, and may therefore have a direct role in cancer pathogenesis. The aim of our research is to investigate altered endosomal-lysosomal biogenesis in breast and prostate cancer. New knowledge on altered biogenesis of these organelles in cancer will be used to develop early diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers.

This research is led by Dr Emma Parkinson-Lawrence and Professor Doug Brooks and carried out in collaboration with Dr Lisa Butler, Head, Molecular Therapeutics research group in the Dame Roma Mitchell Cancer Research Laboratories (DRMCRL), at the University of Adelaide and Hanson Institute

Lysosomal storage disorders are a group of over 50 genetic diseases that are associated with devastating pathology, and more than two-thirds of patients are afflicted with progressive neurological dysfunction. Each disorder is caused by the dysfunction of either a lysosomal enzyme or a protein involved in lysosomal biogenesis. These defects lead to the accumulation of substrate that would normally be degraded in endosomelysosome organelles. The most common lysosomal storage disorder with neuropathology is mucopolysaccharidosis IIIA (MPS IIIA). While it is appreciated that intracellular accumulation of primary substrate ultimately leads to down-stream changes, the exact nature of the event(s) initiating a functional impairment in neurons of the brain is not known. The aim of our research is to investigate potential links between storage, altered intracellular trafficking and neuropathology in MPS IIIA.

This research is carried out in collaboration with Assoc Prof Damien Keating, Head, Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience Laboratory, Flinders University and Dr Kim Hemsley, Head, CNS Therapeutics Lysosomal Diseases Research Unit, SAHMRI.

Blood vessels are complex structures that are essential for the survival of all solid tissues including tumours.In recent years considerable research activity has focussed on identifying agents that may have anti-vascular potential, particularly if that applies to restricting the vascularisation and growth of tumours.

Venoms, especially those from snakes, contain a vast range of peptides and other compounds, some of which have proved to be pharmacologically useful.The most well-known of these are agents that reduce blood pressure but also more recently compounds from venom that influence blood coagulation and others that target endothelial cells are being investigated.

Studies in our laboratory have shown that venoms from Australian snakes also contain some of these compounds. However, the isolation of these molecules using traditional collection and separation techniques is problematic as venom composition can be variable and unpredictable. Our current research therefore involves a detailed study of the mechanisms that initiate and regulate venom production in vivo.To complement this work we are also exploring the development of an in vitro, immortalised venom cell culture model from snakes which will allow controlled studies into the molecular processes that underlie the expression and production of the range of venom components.

If you are interested in this research please contact Assoc Prof Tony Woods.

The emergence of pathogens which are becoming more virulent and resistant against drugs is an increasing public health problem. The available antibacterial treatments are becoming less and less effective, making urgent the discovery of new treatments and therapies. An emerging field of fighting infection is the targeting of bacterial iron acquisition. Iron is vital for the survival of pathogens as well as being an important constituent of virulence and biofilm formation. Ferrous iron is acquired by the Feo transporter. Despite the vital role of the Feo proteins in the survival and virulence of pathogens, our knowledge about this transporter system is still in its infancy.

This project aims to characterise the molecular mechanism of transport and regulation by the Feo proteins from the pathogen P. aeruginosa using molecular, biochemical and biophysical techniques.

A better understanding of the Feo system might help us devise inhibitors for this iron acquisition system and ultimately starve the pathogen from a vital nutrient as well as prevent the formation of highly drug resistant bacterial biofilms.

Keywords: pathogenic bacteria, membrane protein, iron transport, virulence
