SUMMARY:MBI Seminar
DESCRIPTION:MBI Seminar\nDate: 3 August 2022\, Wednesday\nTime: 4pm\nVenue: T-lab Level 5 Seminar Room \nExploiting divergent biology of two fission yeasts to understand membrane function\nBy Snezhana Oliferenko\, Group Leader\, The Francis Crick Institute and King’s College London\, London (Host: Prof. Rong Li) \n\nAbstract \nBiological membranes are semi-permeable lipid barriers delimiting cells and subcellular compartments. By recruiting and scaffolding specific proteins and protein complexes\, membranes also serve as platforms for cellular communication\, signalling and metabolism. The specific features of the membrane depend on its lipid composition. I will present our recent work aimed at understanding how lipid metabolism impacts on membrane function and cellular physiology using comparative and synthetic approaches in two related fission yeast species with different lifestyles. Briefly\, we show that a popular model system Schizosaccharomyces pombe and its less known relative Schizosaccharomyces japonicus exhibit strikingly different membrane lipid composition and provide the mechanistic explanation for this divergence. I will further argue that these differences in lipid metabolism may be at root of the profound changes to cellular physiology that occurred in the evolution of the fission yeast clade. \n\nFind Help\nNon MBI staff who are interested in attending should contact Qiao Jing at mbilqj@nus.edu.sg.
