AIRC fundraising, November 2008 (!): Praiano, Italy




Summary of Michele’s presentation published in “Fondamentale”, AIRC bulletin, January 2009.
Michele Pagano, ricercatore italiano che oggi lavora all’Howard Hughes Medical Institute presso la New York University, ha raccontato il suo percorso dall’Italia fino agli Stati Uniti, ricordando anche l’importante contributo di AIRC ai suoi studi e a quelli dei giovani italiani che oggi lavorano con lui. Per i giovani ricercatori italiani esistono tre sfide secondo Pagano: fare esperienza all’estero dopo il dottorato in un laboratorio che valga, reinserirsi nelle strutture italiane ed evitare il “conformismo individualista”. “Come giovani” ha spiegato “dovete usare la vostra autonomia di pensiero e trovare un laboratorio guidato da un capo illuminato che sappia circondarsi di pesone valide e con idee proprie, invece che di tecnici subordinati”.

A new pathway in the G2 DNA damage response as seen by Florian Bassermann and Konstantin Keim




In response to DNA damage, cells must arrest the cell cycle and initiate damage repair to protect genomic integrity. Bassermann and colleagues unravel a new pathway in the G2 DNA damage response that is initiated by nuclear translocation of the Cdc14B phosphatase. This event results in the activation of the APC/CCdh1 ubiquitin ligase and the subsequent degradation of the promitotic kinase Plk1.
This illustration represents the translocation process of Cdc14B upon DNA damage in G2. The three small icons represent a symbol of DNA damage (left), the DNA double helix (center), and a symbol of movement (right). A timeline running down the center of the cover symbolizes chronology. The large circular figure in the center represents a cell with the two distinct states in which Cdc14B is found before (nucleoli) and after DNA damage (nucleoplasm).
