SUMMARY:Kevin Morano -- Biochemistry / Redox Biology Center Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Kevin Morano, Associate Professor, Department of Microbiol
 ogy and Molecular Genetics, University of Texas Medical School at Houston
 , will present a seminar entitled "Stress and the single cell: understand
 ing cellular roles of the Hsp70 molecular chaperone using yeast". The Hsp
 70 molecular chaperone is a ubiquitous and powerful protein remodeler tha
 t plays critical roles in cellular protein biogenesis, targeting, repair 
 and degradation. A number of human diseases including cancer, heart disea
 se and a broad range of neurodegenerative disorders (Alzheimer’s, Parki
 nson’s and Lou Gehrig’s diseases) result from dysregulation of Hsp70 
 and other players involved in protein quality control. \n\nMorano is inve
 stigating the molecular details of Hsp70 regulation using the model Sacch
 aromyces cerevisiae, or baker’s yeast. In doing so he discovered a nove
 l protein cofactor required for Hsp70 function, and uncovered a new role 
 for Hsp70 as a sensor of environmental stress.
