Extractions: sidney.altman@yale.edu OUR LAB is concerned with the function and structure of ribonuclease P in both bacteria and human cells. We investigate the properties of these enzymes and what they are doing in vivo. We are also exploring the use of RNase P and so-called external guide sequences to activate various genes in bacteria and mammalian cells.

Extractions: CONTACT: Cynthia L. Atwood #349 For Immediate Release: June 22, 1998 New Haven, CT By simultaneously attacking two genes that are found in all strains of the influenza virus, Yale University researchers have succeeded in curbing reproduction of the virus in mouse cells in tissue cultures. If successful in animal and human studies, Yale's general method for thwarting the virus could spell relief for millions suffering from flu and other viral diseases, who now have few options but to let the diseases run their course. "Because flu viruses spontaneously mutate at a high rate, we targeted two essential genes the polymerase and nucleocapsid genes which contain DNA sequences that are highly conserved in different flu strains," said Sidney Altman, who announced the finding in the June 23 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Professor Altman, along with former graduate student Debora Plehn-Dujowich, used a method based on research that earned him the 1989 Nobel Prize in chemistry. His discovery that RNA is not just a passive carrier of genetic code, but also can be an enzyme that actively engages in chemical reactions, triggered a new branch of genetic engineering aimed at treating lethal viruses and drug-resistant bacteria, as well as repairing genetic defects. "Our success in inhibiting gene action in flu viruses with an enzyme called RNase P and small strings of RNA nucleotides called external guide sequences (EGSs) is further proof that this general method can be used against human viruses," said Altman, who is the Sterling Professor of Biology at Yale. His laboratory also has used this technology to prevent the expression of genes that make bacteria resistant to two widely used antibiotics, chloramphenicol and ampicillin. Research is now underway in animals to see whether the method can restore the full usefulness of these frontline antibiotics.

La Crème De L'ARN Translate this page Liaison, 19 octobre 2000 En collaboration avec le seul Prix nobel québécois, SidneyAltman La crème de l'ARN à Sherbrooke le 6 novembre. GILLES PELLOILLE. http://www.usherbrooke.ca/liaison_vol35/05/Liens/arn.html
Extractions: La crème de l'ARN à Sherbrooke le 6 novembre GILLES PELLOILLE L'acide ribonucléique (ARN), que l'on soupçonne d'être à la base de la vie sur Terre et qui intervient dans toutes les fonctions de la cellule, sera à l'honneur le 6 novembre à la Faculté de médecine, quand plus de 150 chercheuses et chercheurs, dont le seul Prix Nobel québécois, Sidney Altman, se réuniront pour faire le point sur leurs travaux. L'Université héberge l'un des trois seuls centres mondiaux de recherche sur l'acide ribonucléique. Sa jeune équipe est répartie dans six laboratoires de recherche sur la biologie de l'ARN à la Faculté de médecine. Les membres de cette équipe, dont la moyenne d'âge ne dépasse pas 45 ans, organisent régulièrement des séminaires qui réunissent des chercheuses et chercheurs du Québec et de l'Est du Canada ainsi que des États-Unis. «Nous nous sommes baptisés le Ribo-club et nos rencontres regroupent les meilleurs chercheurs qui travaillent sur l'ARN. Cela nous permet de faire avancer la recherche en partageant nos connaissances. La rencontre du 6 novembre constituera un sommet, tant par le nombre des personnes participantes que par leur qualité», explique Jean-Pierre Perreault, professeur-chercheur au Département de biochimie. Selon Sherif Abou Elela, du Département de microbiologie et d'infectiologie, plusieurs facteurs expliquent le succès annoncé de la rencontre du 6 novembre : «La présence de Sidney Altman nous a aidé à rassembler plus de monde. De plus, la recherche sur l'ARN en est à ses débuts, et il existe un pressant besoin de communiquer entre les équipes universitaires. Enfin, professeurs, chercheurs, étudiantes et étudiants aux cycles supérieurs, et maintenant les équipes du secteur privé, sont tous fascinés par ce que promettent déjà certaines découvertes sur l'ARN. D'ici cinq à six ans, nous pensons pouvoir faire des percées majeures contre des fléaux comme le cancer, le sida, les rétrovirus, le rhumatisme et de nombreuses maladies héréditaires.»

Extractions: 1968Dr. Marshall W. Nirenberg, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering the key to deciphering the genetic code. Dr. Nirenberg and two other researchers, working independently, with whom he shared the prize, made major advances in understanding the chemical mechanisms by which genetic language or information is translated into various proteins that determine the nature and characteristics of all living things. Dr. Nirenberg was the first NIH Nobelist and also the first Federal employee to receive a Nobel Prize. 1970Dr. Julius Axelrod, National Institute of Mental Healthshared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with two scientists from England and Swedenfor independent research into the chemistry of nerve transmission. The three were cited for their discoveries concerning the humoral transmitters in the nerve terminals and the mechanisms for their storage, release and inactivation. Specifically, Dr. Axelrod found an enzyme that terminates the action of the nerve transmitter, noradrenaline. He also demonstrated that some antidepressant drugs act by preventing the reuptake of noradrenaline and thus prolong its action in the brain. 1972Dr. Christian B. Anfinsen
