Seminar Notice “Designed Protein Nanopores” by Dr. Chunfu XU
Dr. Chunfu XU Senior Fellow, University of Washington, USA (Faculty applicant) Abstract: The ability to custom design structurally well-defined transmembrane channels would have broad applications in areas ranging from nanopore sequencing to small molecule filtration and sensing, but remains an outstanding challenge. In this talk, I will present the computational design of protein nanopores formed by two concentric rings of alpha-helices that are stable and mono-disperse in both water-soluble and membrane protein forms. Crystal structures of the soluble forms of…

Prof. David G. Drubin Ernette Comby Chair in Microbiology Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology University of California, Berkeley Abstract: Clathrin-mediated endocytosis is a key process by which cells capture nutrients from their environments and down regulate cell surface signaling receptors. It also provides a portal of entry for various intra-cellular pathogens. During this process, the plasma membrane undergoes a series of shape changes that are resisted by membrane tension. In essentially all eukaryotic organisms, a burst of actin assembly…
