SUMMARY:CRBI/CIRC Seminar
DESCRIPTION:CRBI Seminar – Dr. Martin Schmeing\, McGill University Thursday April 25th 2024 \nBiosynthesis and use of the most interesting polymer you didn’t know existed \nAbstract: \n \nCyanophycin is a natural product polymer with a poly-aspartate backbone and arginines linked to each Asp side chain. Used in bacteria for storage of fixed nitrogen\, carbon and energy\, long chains of cyanophycin coalesce into inert\, membrane-less granules which can occupy most of the volume of a cell. Cyanophycin has a variety of potential green industrial and biomedical applications. Cyanophycin is made by cyanophycin synthetase 1 or 2 through ATP-dependent polymerization of Asp and Arg\, or β-Asp-Arg\, respectively. It is degraded into dipeptides by specialized exo-cyanophycinases\, and these dipeptidase are hydrolyzed into free amino acids by nonspecific isoaspartyl dipeptidases. I will share highlights of our structural and functional studies of cyanophycin biosynthesis and degradation\, which led to surprising discoveries: Our structures and biochemical assays of the cyanophycin synthetase 1 revealed it to be a remarkable\, multi-domain\, multi-functional biosynthetic machine and uncovered a hidden hydrolytic active site that is crucial for rapid biosynthesis. We also showed that cyanophycin synthetase 2 can assume several elegant architectures that influence its synthetic activity. Further\, we discovered and characterized a novel\, large family of isoaspartyl dipeptidases dedicated to cyanophycin metabolism\, which allows the human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa to use β-Asp-Arg as a sole carbon source\, and as good a sole nitrogen source as ammonium. Bioinformatics results underscore how common it is for bacteria to be cyanophycin producers or scavengers\, much more so than currently appreciated.

SUMMARY:CRBI/CIRC Seminar
DESCRIPTION:CRBI Seminar – Karen C. Waldron\nDepartment of Chemistry\, Université de Montréal \nCrosslinked proteolytic enzymes for microscale proteomics applications \nProteolytic enzymes are routinely used to cleave the potentially thousands of proteins in a biological sample into smaller\, more manageable peptide fragments. This facilitates their separation and identification by nano-HPLC\, capillary electrophoresis (CE) and/or mass spectrometry (MS). This process\, called peptide mapping\, is one of the steps used in the workflow for identifying\, quantifying\, characterizing or probing the function of proteins in the vast field of proteomics\, specifically “bottom-up” proteomics. Insoluble proteolytic enzymes (i.e.\, trypsin\, chymotrypsin\, pepsin\, Lys-C\, Asp-N\, etc.) offer several benefits such as limited autolysis\, reusability and rapid digestion because high enzyme-to-substrate ratios can be used. The added advantage of adaptability to microreactor formats and microfluidic platforms comes from using glutaraldehyde (GA) to crosslink enzymes and render them insoluble instead of immobilizing them on solid-phase supports. In 2004 we reported a multi-step GA-crosslinking procedure for trypsin and compared its specific activity and peptide maps to trypsin immobilized onto GA-functionalized glass beads. The procedure was later adapted for chymotrypsin to digest nanomolar concentrations of fluorescently labelled protein substrate with peptide mapping by CE laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detection. A GA-chymotrypsin microreactor was fabricated in a capillary column by programing reagent delivery in a CE instrument. Despite the ease in making GA-crosslinked trypsin and chymotrypsin “particles”\, their re-use for multiple digestions has been problematic. Our successes and setbacks will be discussed\, as well as our efforts to improve the robustness of the crosslinked enzymes using a Design-ofExperiments (DOE) approach to investigate the experimental parameters in our multi-step crosslinking method.

SUMMARY:CRBI seminar - Philip Britz-McKibbin
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \n  \nNew advances in analytical chemistry for large-scale epidemiological studies: Insights into nutrition and smoke exposures for global health \n  \nA suboptimal diet and tobacco smoking are two leading modifiable risk factors in chronic disease burden globally that are typically evaluated using questionnaires by epidemiologists despite being prone to bias and misreporting. This presentation will focus on new advances in mass spectrometry (MS)-based metabolomics research when coupled to capillary electrophoresis (CE) that may allow for more reliable assessment of exposures and their health impacts in large-scale epidemiological studies. A capillary electrophoresis assay for surveillance of iodine deficiency in the Canadian population will first be presented. This work revealed differences in iodine nutrition and exposures to environmental iodine uptake inhibitors in four different regions across Canada. Also\, recent developments to expand CE-MS techniques for untargeted lipid profiling when using nonaqueous conditions will be discussed. This approach was used to identify specific circulating lipids associated with omega-3 index status\, including biomonitoring changes following high-dose fish oil supplementation. Lastly\, I will present a new approach for biochemical verification of tobacco smoke exposures in various countries at different socioeconomic status in support of global health and chronic disease prevention. Stratification of fast from slower nicotine metabolizers offers a unique way to better assess the true hazards from tobacco smoking in diverse populations.

SUMMARY:In person seminar with Dr. Sachlos
DESCRIPTION:Acute myeloid leukemia is a fatal blood cancer.  The malignant AML blast cells rapidly overwhelm the bone marrow\, disrupting resident hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and normal blood production and eventually causing death. Treatment involves the administration of DNA-binding chemotherapeutic agents that indiscriminately kill both HSC and progenitors\, leading to myelosuppression and ultimately drug dose attenuation.  Ideally\, drugs should specifically target AML while sparing healthy HSC to reduce potentially lethal myelosuppression side effects and extend the dosing period.  In this talk\, we will discuss the new paradigm of leukemic stem cells and how they can be targeted using differentiation therapy as a novel therapeutic strategy with reduced side effects.  The development of novel stem cell screening platforms able to identify agents that specifically target AML-leukemic stem cells (AML-LSC) while sparing HSC will be explored.  Recent results demonstrating the importance of engineered niche microenvironments to extend the ex vivo lifespan of HSC and AML-LSC will also be presented.  This work sets the foundations high-throughput 3D organoid drug screening using primary human cells extracted from tumours for the development of precision medicine applications.

SUMMARY:In person seminar by Dr. Jennilee Gavina
DESCRIPTION:How can you as an analytical chemist contribute towards developing lifesaving medicines within the pharmaceutical industry? Let’s explore this rewarding career path through learning the whats\, whys\, and hows. First\, we’ll cover some basics about Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and regulatory requirements so we can understand what characteristics of a compound need to be controlled and why a wide variety of analytical methodologies are required. Then the fun stuff – how do we apply these methods to manufacturing and when do we need to test? We’ll go over how this all fits together\, with some practical tips and case studies along the way\, and include some insight on the more recent regulatory expectations for nitrosamine control. \nThe event will be followed by a roundtable session with students from 12 pm to 1 pm.
