A video of Koehler’s seminar, “Mitochondrial Protein Transport and Disease: Another Block in the Wall”, can be viewed here. Her seminar was part of the second session titled “Understanding the Importance of Mitochondria from Cell Biology to Human Health.”
Much of our understanding of mitochondrial genetics and the importance of mitochondria in human health and disease is due to the groundbreaking work of Dr. Douglas C....

In a study published in December in Nature Communications, researchers led by Professors Emil Reisler (UCLA Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry) and Hong Zhou (UCLA Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Molecular Genetics) demonstrate that modification of actin’s methionine residues leads to rapid depolymerization of actin filaments. Via structural studies, the researchers discover that oxidation of two of actin’s methionine residues by Mical family enzymes leads to unstable contacts between actin subunits and thus...

Traditional methods of mass spectrometry reveal what proteins form a complex but usually cannot reveal how the protein complex is assembled or what parts of each protein interact. Obtaining this structural data via X-ray crystallography or NMR spectroscopy can be difficult for large protein complexes.
To address this difficulty, the team has developed a workflow using high resolution Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) mass spectrometry (MS) to analyze intact protein complexes, which could prove useful for a variety of applications including drug development and...
