Learning Goals for Course:• Evaluate the relative merit of using a particular molecular technique to address a specific research question • Interpret cellular and molecular data (e.g. gels, graphs)• Predict outcomes of future experiments based on existing data• Develop new hypotheses and design experiments to test those hypotheses• Draw a model for a molecular process based on existing data• Recognize assumptions inherent in a given molecular model• Evaluate the merits of a scientific study•Communicate scientific ideas and/or interpretations articulately, both in writing and orally.

How People Learn
Course Outline•Protein Trafficking
•Nuclear transport•Nuclear environment
•Nuclear pore structure•Spatial and dynamic organization of nucleus
•Eukaryotic transcription regulation• Epigenetic regulation• Cell memory• Cell specialization
• Embryonic Stem Cells• Epigenetic modifications during differentiation• Maintenance of pluripotency
Review organelles in readings: know primary function of cell organelles
Fig. 1-11, 1-12. Lodish et al. 2013
What are the advantages and challenges of eukaryoticand prokaryotic cells?
To understand how genes are regulated, need to understand the nuclear environment: structure, spatial organization
Know these Terms:Nuclear envelope (NE)Nuclear pore complex (NPC)Nuclear laminaNucleolusChromatin (heterochromatin and euchromatin)
Protein Sorting Animation
Overview of Protein Trafficking
Signal sequences on proteins target them to locations within the cell
Protein Trafficking Workshop
You have the following tools:A cell into which you can introduce (tranfect) DNAA DNA plasmid into which you can clone any gene you likeA fluorescent-labeled antibody to any protein you want to detectA piece of double-stranded DNA encoding a potential mitochondrial signal sequence
Signal Sequences Have Been Identified Which Target Proteins to Locations Within the Cell
