The proto-oncogene Myc is known to promote glutamine usage by up-regulating glutaminase, which promotes the catabolism of glutamine and thereby fuels the tricarboxylic acid TCA cycle. Here we report that in a number of human and murine cells and cancers, Myc overexpression leads to elevated expression of glutamate-ammonia ligase GLUL , also termed glutamine synthetase GS , which catalyzes the de novo synthesis of glutamine. Elevated expression of GLUL promotes cell survival under glutamine limitation, while silencing of GLUL leads to decreased cell proliferation and xenograft tumor growth.
These results demonstrate an unexpected role of Myc in promoting glutamine synthesis, and suggest a previously uncovered molecular connection between DNA demethylation and glutamine metabolism in Myc-driven cancers. Kimberly Bell is the graduate student project coordinator for an initiative to improve skills of Teaching Assistants. Inquiry labs are relatively new in this course and are challenging to teach. Students design components of each lab, make hypotheses and predictions, choose variables, analyze data and even design a full experiment.
It was clear that the teaching assistants TAs needed a different strategy for teaching these courses, as a higher level of communication is required for these labs compared to the cookbook labs of the past. Students also noticed a significant change in their TAs' communication skills over the semester, as did the TAs. Student grades on the competency exam similar to a lab practical were higher for sections taught by TAs who participated in the workshops.
Initially intended solely for professional development, analysis of this data at the end of the semester showed these striking differences. This is an ongoing endeavor, and Kim and her colleagues hope to share these findings in a publication in the near future, as well as replicate the Spring data this upcoming Spring semester.
Diana also currently holds a Turner Dissertation Fellowship to assist in completion of her work. Diana is a student in the laboratory of Dr.
Patrick Hearing. Her dissertation, which she plans to defend this fall, focuses on the regulation of infection by adenovirus. Congratulations to first-year students Moises and Steve, who received fellowships from Stony Brook's W.
Burghardt Turner program. These competitive and substantial awards are intended to increase diversity among students pursuing graduate and professional degrees at the University. The fellowships are named in honor of W. Burghardt Turner, a Professor of History at Stony Brook for more than 20 years who did much to promote the success of underrepresented students. The SBS program is designed to foster translational science by pairing graduate students working in the basic sciences with clinical mentors.
Moreover, Scholars are provided with courses and other resources that foster insight into the clinical aspects of their research.
