The focus of the work in my laboratory is the structure and function of membrane transport proteins. We study the structure, transport function and regulation of proteins of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) superfamily such as P-glycoprotein, CFTR and MRP1. We also have a project on the structural bases for the regulation of connexins, the proteins that form the gap junctions. In addition, we are developing new sensors for glucose and calcium based on the use of specific glucose- and calcium-binding proteins fused to autofluorescent proteins (green fluorescent protein family).

My aim is to understand how phenotypic variation is generated and how it influences the course of evolution. To answer these questions I am employing a variety of approaches from developmental biology, genetics, comparative analysis, computational biology and mathematical modelling. As an experimental system I use the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans and other closely related species. I am particularly interested in how cell lineage variability evolves in different groups of animals.

Structural and Computational Biology of Biological Machines; Biological applications include viruses, ion channels, membranes, oligomeric proteins and cyotskeletal protein complexes. Dr. Chiu has been a leading investigator in the development of electron cryomicroscopy to solve structures of macromolecular assemblies at increasingly high resolutions. Computationally, his group has developed single particle reconstruction software, which has been widely adopted by other investigators. He directs an NIH supported center (http://ncmi.bcm.edu). Among many structures his group has done, Chiu is pursuing the structural studies of viruses including herpes simplex virus, bacteriophages andVenezuelan equine encephalitis virus. His approach includes single particle and tomographic electron cryomicroscopy.

My research interests are at the interface of evolution, ecology and behavior. One of the major problems in evolutionary biology concerns the evolution of social groups. My research is in several areas involving the evolution of social behavior including the behavioral and genetic prerequisites for group living and the functional consequences of living in groups. The organisms that I use for studies of social behavior are the social insects, particularly the ants. Ants provide thousands of social species, many of which can be kept under controlled laboratory conditions, and manipulated to answer questions about social behavior.

Our laboratory investigates the structural basis of macromolecular interactions using a variety of biophysical tools including X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy. The general goal of our laboratory is to determine the manner in which amino acid sequence information promotes the formation of stable folded globular protein molecules and modulates the affinity and specificity of protein ligand interactions. We use molecular genetic tools to produce variant protein molecules for characterization by biophysical methods.

Research in our lab is focused on the experimental characterization of conformational fluctuations, the development and refinement of a general ensemble-based model for fluctuations, and the projection of this thermodynamic model into genomic analysis. Our goals are to unify the description of protein behaviors in such a way as to understand their relationships at the phenomenological level, to codify these relationships in a simple structure-based model, and to apply our model to a number of experimental systems that can be used to test and refine our approach.

Kavraki's group develops computational tools on high-performance systems to model protein structure and function, understand biomolecular interactions and help analyze, in the long run, the molecular machinery of the cell. This is done by integrating sequence information with three-dimensional structural information to capture, represent and exploit relevant molecular motion. Of particular interest are the identification of three-dimensional functional motifs in protein databases, docking of flexible molecules to flexible receptors, computer-assisted drug discovery, and the understanding and compact representation of structural changes in large biomolecular machines.

Bio-organic chemistry, peptide and peptidomimetic chemistry, structure-guided drug design, protein-protein interaction, enzyme inhibitor design. Our work concerns the design of inhibitors of important protein-protein interactions with the overall goal of developing chemotherapeutic agents as well as reagents to probe signal transduction mechanisms. Our current targets are the STAT (signal transduction and activator of transcription) proteins. Our strategy is to find high affinity peptides to inhibit target protein-protein interactions, determine which parts of the peptide contributes to binding energy, determine the bound conformation, then combine this information to develop small molecule inhibitors that mimic the action of the peptide. Another strategy is screening a small molecule library to find leads.

Molecular mechanism of biological membrane fusion. We use biochemistry, cell biology and molecular genetic techniques to study membrane fusion in two major model systems: vesicular transport in the budding yeast S. cerevisiae and neurosecretion in the fruitfly D. melanogaster. A primary focus of the lab is the functional reconstitution of exocytosis in the yeast. Another focus of the lab is the regulation of neuroscretion. We use our in vitro reconstituted fusion system containing SNARE proteins from Drosophila to examine neuronal specific regulatory factors.

Our research program aims to identify the mechanisms by which normal cells (lymphocytes) and tumor cells (ovarian and breast cancer) perceive and respond to their environment. The mission of the laboratory is to understand the mechanisms by which signal transduction is linked to proliferation, invasion, and programmed cell death in T lymphocytes and in breast and ovarian cancer.We recently identified a unique phospholipid growth factor, OCAF, in the ascites of ovarian cancer patients. We will explore the role of OCAF in early diagnosis, establishment of prognosis, monitoring of therapy, and therapy of breast and ovarian cancer patients.

Our work focuses on virus structure and the general principles by which viruses self-assemble. In particular, we are interested in how virus self-assembly strategies can be targeted in the design of anti-viral therapeutics, and how these same strategies might be employed in the construction of nanomachines. We are also interested in the structures of morphologically heterogeneous viruses with low, partial, or no internal symmetry. Finally, we are interested in virus evolution and the viruses which infect the archea.

The cellular mechanisms leading to the attainment and maintenance of membrane asymmetry (cellular polarization); cellular factors that facilitate apical membrane vesicular trafficking (movement) and targeting (direction) and, consequently, how transport vesicules containing newly-synthesized ion channels regulate transepithelial Cl secretion. We study the polarized movement of the cAMP-activatable Cl channel, the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) in differentiating epithelial cells. Utilizing modern physiological (patch-clamp), morphometric (real time confocal ratio-metric fluorescence) and molecular techniques, we are now in the process of identifying factors that facilitate the movement of CFTR-containing apical targeting vesicles. Lastly, my laboratory is also involved in the study of intracellular second messengers, in particular the role of inositol polyphosphates in the modulation of [Ca2+]i and the activation of Ca2+-sensitive ion channels in epithelial cells. Three-dimensional computer modelling of [ion] with predefined time frames allows us to compartmentalize ion mediated signal transduction at the subcellular level.

Regulation of virus genome replication; molecular mechanism of eukaryotic chromosome condensation. Influenza viruses cause highly contagious, acute respiratory illnesses which have inflicted humans since ancient times. Today influenza remains as a major concern of public health with frequent threat for widespread epidemics. Replication and expression of virus genome are crucial parts of the virus life cycle. Influenza virus RNA transcription is initiated using a capped RNA primer snatched from host mRNAs, whereas RNA replication does not require any primer and hence the replication products are not capped. Four viral proteins are needed for influenza virus RNA synthesis, including the three viral polymerase proteins PA, PB1 and PB2, and the viral nucleoprotein. Our laboratory uses the electron microscopy and three-dimensional reconstruction method to elucidate how influenza virus polymerase, the nucleoprotein, the viral RNA, and other essential components coordinate their functions to ensure both cap-dependent and cap-independent RNA synthesis. In particular, the structures of various polymerase-RNA complexes will be studied to characterize the transient molecular interactions. Detailed mechanistic studies of influenza virus polymerase will uncover fundamental rules underlying the unique gene expression and replication process shared by segmented, negative-strand and ambi-sense RNA viruses. New antiviral drugs can be designed against the polymerases of these viruses, targeting a few of their virus-specific activities.

My research program primarily focuses on the mechanisms associated with connective tissue plasticity. We have been interested in studying biological processes that impact extracellular matrix assembly, collagen maturation and turnover, and gene expression of various cytokines and macromolecules. Also, our work involves investigating collagen and proteoglycan interactions that impact the viscoelastic properties of dense fibrous connective tissues.

Dr. Watowich has long-standing interest in virus structure, function, host-responses to infection, and antiviral drug development. The laboratory has solved the crystal structures of individual non-structural and structural proteins from alphaviruses, and carried out biochemical and biophysical studies of flavivirus and alphavirus proteins. Structures of intact RNA viruses and their assembly mechanisms are studied by electron cryomicroscopy, image reconstruction, and biophysical techniques. Structure-based computational drug discovery, in vitro inhibition assays, and cell- based replication assays are used to develop antiviral agents.

My research interests are in the areas of computational biophysics and crystallography. Crystallography is a tool for examining diverse structures of genomic proteins. Structural genomics combined with homology and 3D modeling of proteins promises to reveal the relationship between the structure and function of proteins.
