Presenter

David Alexander, Director, Rice Space Institute

Abstract

Understanding how the activity of the Sun influences and affects the Earth's space environment is of great scientific interest as we explore the energetic activity of stars. Space Weather also has important ramifications for society in that it can create electromagnetic hazards in space and on the ground, impacting our communications, power grids and satellite operations. In this talk we will discuss solar activity, its impact on the Earth and, if time permits, what it tells us about extra-solar worlds.

Biography

David Alexander is a professor in the Department of Physics and astronomy and director of the Rice Space Institute. He received his Bachelor of Science in natural philosophy and astronomy, and his doctorate in relativistic cosmological models from the University of Glasgow. Alexander also received a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers in 2004 and was appointed a Kavli Frontiers Fellow by the National Academy of Sciences in 2006.

Prior to joining the faculty at Rice University in 2003, he was a staff physicist at Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Center in Palo Alto, California, where he worked on the development of advanced space missions for solar physics. Alexander was designated a GlobalScot by the Scottish Government and was recently named an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for services to the space industry at home and abroad and to higher education.

Presenter

Margaret Cheung, Moores Professor of Physics, Chemistry and Computer Science, UH

Abstract

Calcium (Ca2+) signaling is a dynamic system where Ca2+ concentration fluctuates in range of 0.1-10μM with time. These short transient Ca2+ around the entry sites activate Ca2+-binding proteins such as calmodulin (CaM). The prototypical pathway describes CaM as encoding a Ca2+ signal by selectively activating downstream CaM-dependent proteins through molecular binding. However, CaM’s intrinsic Ca2+-binding properties alone appear insufficient to decode rapidly fluctuating Ca2+ signals. It has been proposed that the temporally varying mechanism for producing target selectivity requires CaM-target interactions that directly tune the Ca2+-binding properties of CaM through reciprocal interactions. In this presentation, I will focus on the binding mechanism of CaM and its target, which requires mutually and conformationally-induced changes in both participants Then, I will focus on two unique and distinct CaM binding targets, neurogranin (Ng) and CaM-dependent kinase II (CaMKII), which are abundant in postsynaptic neuronal cells and are biochemically known to tune CaM’s affinity for Ca2+ in opposite directions. My group has employed an integrative approach of quantum mechanical calculations, all-atomistic molecular dynamics, and coarse-grained molecular simulations to investigate the molecular mechanisms of CaM’s reciprocal interaction between target binding and Ca2+binding. The research of my group has been driven and tested in close collaboration with experimentalists. I will also discuss about CaM binding and target selection in the context of evolution and in a crowded environment.
