SUMMARY:Characterization of cadherin contraction and its role in cell rigidity sensing
DESCRIPTION:MBI PhD Oral Defense\nTime: 3pm\nDate: Wednesday\, 02 May 2018\nVenue: MBI\, level 5 meeting rooms \nSupervisors:  Prof Hanry Yu (Main supervisor)\, Prof Michael Sheetz (Co-supervisor) \nCharacterization of cadherin contraction and its role in cell rigidity sensing\nby YANG Yi-An\, Hanry Yu Group\, Sheetz Group \nE-cadherin is a major cell-cell adhesion molecule involved in mechanotransduction at cell-cell contacts in tissues. Since cells respond to rigidity and tension in the tissue through E-cadherin\, there must be active processes that test and respond to the mechanical properties of these adhesive contacts. Using sub-micrometer\, E-cadherin-coated PDMS pillars\, we find that cells generate active contractions between E-cadherin adhesions and\, powered by myosin activity\, pull pillars to a constant distance irrespective of pillar rigidity over a 19-fold range. These cadherin contractions require non-muscle myosin IIB\, tropomyosin 2.1\, α-catenin and its reversible binding of vinculin to α-catenin. These cadherin contractions are correlated with mechanosensitive cell behaviors. Without cadherin contractions\, cells fail to spread to different areas on soft and rigid surface or maintain monolayer integrity. Thus\, we suggest that epithelial cells test and respond to the rigidity of neighboring cells by cadherin contractions. \n**Please note the examination following the seminar is closed-door**

SUMMARY:Actin cytoskeleton self-organization in epithelial cells by Salma Jalal
DESCRIPTION:MBI PhD Oral Defense\nTime: 10:15am\nDate: Thursday\, 10 May 2018\nVenue: MBI\, level 5 meeting rooms \nSupervisors:  Prof Virgile Viasnoff (Main supervisor)\, Prof Alexander Bershadsky (Co-supervisor) \nActin cytoskeleton self-organization in epithelial cells\nby Salma JALAL\, Bershadsky Group \nIn this project I have systematically investigated the principles of actin cytoskeleton self-organization in epithelial cells by confining isolated cells on isotropic adhesive islands of varying size\, and compared the actin cytoskeleton self-organization in these cells with that in fibroblasts. In fibroblasts\, our lab has previously described that an initially circular pattern of circumferential actin dynamically evolves into a radial pattern of actin bundles. The radial fibres in this pattern spontaneously tilt in one direction to form the chiral pattern\, before finally producing parallel linear stress fibres. We have since found that progression from circular to chiral actin patterns depends on cell-projected area and rarely occurs on small islands. Epithelial cells on the other hand\, did not exhibit succession through all the actin patterns described above even on large islands. Upon confinement\, the actin cytoskeleton in non-keratinocyte epithelial cells is arrested at the circular stage\, while in keratinocytes it can progress as far as the radial pattern but still cannot break symmetry. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition pushed actin cytoskeleton development from circular towards radial patterns but remains insufficient to cause chirality. Surprisingly\, small doses of G-actin sequestering drug\, latrunculin A\, induced chiral swirling in keratinocytes. During this swirling\, keratin filaments follow actin and also demonstrate chiral swirling movement. In spite of this dynamic interplay between the actin and keratin cytoskeleton\, depletion of the keratin network did not change the pattern of actin organization in keratinocytes. In order to examine the role of cell-matrix and cell-cell adhesions in directing actin cytoskeleton-self organization\, actin cytoskeleton development was compared between cells plated on cadherin\, fibronectin\, collagen and poly-D-lysine coated adhesive islands. The actin cytoskeleton self-organization is severely disrupted when adhesion is mediated only by electrostatic attraction. On the other hand\, it is globally similar when attachment to the substrate is changed from integrin- to cadherin-mediated adhesions. \n**Please note the examination following the seminar is closed-door**

SUMMARY:Investigating the cellular and tissue level function of the actin capping protein Cap-1 using the C elegans as a model system by  Shinjini RAY
DESCRIPTION:MBI PhD Qualifying Exam\nTime: 4pm\nDate: Thursday\, 17 May 2018\nVenue: E3-06-04\, NUS \nSupervisors:  Prof Ronen Zaidel-Bar \nInvestigating the cellular and tissue level function of the actin capping protein Cap-1 using the C elegans as a model system\nby  Shinjini RAY\, Zaidel-Bar Group \nActin structures are diverse\, ranging from the transient cytokinetic ring to the stable yet dynamic actin cortex. Actin binding proteins\, by regulating actin filament length\, orientation and connectivity\, modulate the architecture and dynamics of these diverse networks\, which in turn affect their force generation capabilities. Filament length is determined by a balance between polymerization and depolymerization\, as well as capping of the growing ends of actin. While actin nucleation and elongation promoting factors and actin depolymerization factors have been studied extensively\, relatively little is known about the in vivo role of actin capping protein. \nWith an aim to elucidate the role of capping protein in a physiological context\, we are investigating the localization dynamics and function of C. elegans Cap-1. Using an endogenously fluorescently-tagged Cap-1\, we mapped its expression and dynamics in the adult worm and in the embryo. In loss of function experiments\, we observed defects in embryogenesis and spermatheca contractility\, indicating the importance of Cap-1 activity in these contexts. We plan to look at the subcellular localization of Cap-1 and the effects of its depletion on actin organization with the help of electron microscopy. We aim to gain a further understanding of the function of Cap-1 by achieving spatiotemporally controlled knockdown of Cap-1 in different tissues and stages. We will be carrying out two-color live imaging and genetic functional analysis to study the relationship between Cap-1 and the actin nucleators Arx-2 (Arp2/3) and Cyk-1 (formin) and the adherens junction components Hmp-1 (alpha- catenin)\, Hmp-2 (beta-catenin) and Hmr-1 (E-cadherin). Our study will provide novel insight about the in vivo role of Cap-1 in regulating actin network architecture and/or dynamics and may uncover novel interactions and physiological functions of Cap-1. \n**Please note the examination following the seminar is closed-door**

SUMMARY:Introduction to the new Nikon Eclipse Ti2 microscope platform by Nikon
DESCRIPTION:Nikon Seminar\nTime: 10.30am\nDate: Friday\, 18 May 2018\nVenue: Level 5 Seminar Room\, T-Lab \nIntroduction to the new Nikon Eclipse Ti2 microscope platform\nAbstract: \nOur Nikon A1 microscopes are getting old and will gradually be updated to the modern body\, the Eclipse Ti2. The first machine overhauled\, is the level 10 A1R confocal. Later\, the level 9 one and the NSTORM will follow. \nThe Ti2 differs in some key aspects from its predecessor and we invite users and prospective users to join this introduction to acclimate themselves with the controls\, panels\, and functionality. \nThis seminar will address all the critical upgrades\, new operation modes\, and features you need to know about. Key points are 1) the new controls on the scope and via a tablet\, 2) the new large field of view modes\, \n3) the feedback-stabilized servo stage which will improve multi-point experiments\, 4) a new phase mode called external phase\, 5) a telescope that allows you to look at the backfocal plane\, and 6) a new focus lock mode that allows for using plastic dishes and PDMS structures. \nAlso new lenses will be introduced that may be of interest for your work. \nhttps://www.nikoninstruments.com/Products/Inverted-Microscopes/Eclipse-Ti2
