Dear Colleagues:

 

The Killam Seminar Speaker for this week (Tuesday, May 15th) will be Dr. Beverly Wendland from the Department of Biology, Johns Hopkins University.

 

Beverly¹s studies focus on the mechanisms and function of clathrin-mediated endocytosis in yeast. She has examined many aspects of this process including:

 

1) How components of the clathrin machinery link to the actin cytoskeleton

2) The regulation of endocytosis by phospholipids and kinases

3) How ubiquitination of cargo acts as an endocytic-sorting signal

 

The title of her talk is ³From cargo sorting to vesicle budding: Temporal progression of endocytosis²

 

 It should be fun and I hope to see you there.

 

Sincerely,

 

Peter McPherson
