Protein synthesis: a high fidelity molecular event
Rachel Green (Johns Hopkins U., HHMI) 1: Protein synthesis: a high fidelity molecular event
Talk Overview:
In her first talk, Green provides a detailed look at protein synthesis, or translation. Translation is the process by which nucleotides, the “language” of DNA and RNA, are translated into amino acids, the “language” of proteins. Green begins by describing the components needed for translation; mRNA, tRNA, ribosomes, and the initiation, elongation, and termination factors. She then explains the roles of these players in ensuring accuracy during the initiation, elongation, termination and recycling steps of the translation process. By comparing translation in bacteria and eukaryotes, Green explains that it is possible to determine which components and steps are highly conserved and predate the divergence of different kingdoms on the tree of life, and which are more recent adaptations.
Green’s second talk focuses on work from her lab investigating how ribosomes detect defective mRNAs and trigger events leading to the degradation of the bad RNA and the incompletely translated protein product and to the recycling of the ribosome components. Working in yeast and using a number of biochemical and genetic techniques, Green’s lab showed that the protein Dom34 is critical for facilitating ribosome release from the short mRNAs that result from mRNA cleavage. Experiments showed that Dom34-mediated rescue of ribosomes from short mRNAs is an essential process for cell survival in higher eukaryotes.
Speaker Biography:
Rachel Green received her BS in chemistry from the University of Michigan. She then moved to Harvard to pursue her PhD in the lab of Jack Szostak where she worked on designing catalytic RNA molecules and investigating their implications for the evolution of life. As a post-doctoral fellow at the University of California, Santa Cruz, Green began to study how the ribosome translates mRNA to protein with such accuracy.
Currently, Green is a Professor of Molecular Biology and Genetics at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Research in her lab continues to focus on the ribosome and factors involved in the fidelity of eukaryotic and prokaryotic translation.
Green is the recipient of a Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Graduate Teaching Award as well as the recipient for numerous awards for her research. She was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2012.

PKI Mantra Intro 2015
The Mantra™ quantitative pathology workstation lets you visualize, quantify, and phenotype multiple types of immune cells simultaneously in intact FFPE tissue sections for cancer immunology research. Mantra allows you to maintain tissue morphology to help better understand the types and roles of cells within the tumor and tumor microenvironment. The system comes with powerful inForm® Tissue Finder™ advanced image analysis software that features user-trainable algorithms for automatic recognition of specific tissue and cell types, as well as per-cell analysis of biomarker expression and phenotyping to differentiate among cell types. Pathology Views™ creates familiar-looking brightfield (H&E, DAB, hematoxylin) renderings from original multi-label fluorescence images. PerkinElmer’s cancer immunology workflow has been validated using Opal™ reagent kits. Opal methodology enables specific staining of multiple tissue biomarkers reaching up to 6-plex and beyond in a single tissue section. Learn more: http://www.perkinelmer.com/catalog/pr...
