Notice
Phosphorylation triggers the structural and functional switch of a housekeeping protein for mast cells Cross-linking of IgE receptors on the surfaces of mast cells results in the synthesis of a number of mediators that is regulated by the transcription factor microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF). Activation of MITF requires the production of the antigen-IgE–induced second messenger diadenosine tetraphosphate (Ap4A). Prior studies
Halofuginone was used in a clinical trial for cancer and fibrotic diseases. It was found to bind to tRNA and it targets the active site of PRS and regulates its vitality. The article about Halofuginone was published in Nature under the title, “ATP-directed capture of bioactive herbal-based medicine on human tRNA synthetase.” Go to http://www.biocon.re.kr/33108 for more details.
The Korean Federation of Science and Technology Societies selected two articles published by Biocon for the top 10 most important news in Science and Technology for 2012. The two results are: 1) Finding the amino acid switch in our bodies (2012. 4. Cell) 2) Discovering naturally occuring carcinogen in the body. (2012. 3. PNAS) You may vote for them on
▲ Prof. Sunghoon Kwon (Seoul National University) Prof. Sunghoon Kwon from the Drug Screening department of Biocon invented a QR code that can be implanted into drugs that can detect if they are quack. His finding” Lithographically encoded polymer microtaggant using high-capacity and error-correctable QR code for anti-counterfeiting of drugs” was the cover article. ▲ Advanced Materials November 20, 2012
Dr. Hyuck Sang Kwon’s article was published in the Journal of Cell Science for discovering a new AIMP1 receptor. The title of the article is “Identification of CD23 as a functional receptor for the proinflammatory cytokine AIMP1/p43.” Go to http://www.biocon.re.kr/28881 for more details.
We would like to annouce that an integrated database for aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are now open to public, presented by SNU Biocon and Postech Systems Biology Lab. You can access via our website menu, ‘ida: integrated db for ars’ under ‘Services’ menu or directly via http://ars.biocon.re.kr The integrated database for aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (IDA) contains the most detailed data regarding to aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases
Biocon collaborated with Dr. Min Guo (Scripps), and Dr. Ehud Razin (Hebrew University) to investigate KRS. They together published an article about KRS in Molecular Cell called “Structural Switch of Lysyl-tRNA Synthetase between Translation and Transcription”. Also, it was reported in Science Daily. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/11/121115133414.htm http://www.healthcanal.com/medical-breakthroughs/34025-Scientists-Show-Protein-Making-Machinery-Can-Switch-Gears-with-Small-Structural-Change.html?print For more details, please refer to the attached file.
Dr. Louis Ignarro from UCLA (awarded the 1998 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine), and Dr. Roger David Kornberg from Stanford (awarded the 2006 Nobel Prize in Chemistry) have been appointed as the advisers of Biocon. Currently, there are four Nobel prize winners with Biocon. The two other Noble Prize winners are Dr. Robert Huber, Max Planck Institute for
On November 1st and 2nd, the 2012 Inter-Academy Seoul Science Forum will be held in Westin Chosun Hotel. The Director Sunghoon Kim will be a speaker on November 1st, and will talk about new biological discoveries and medicine emerging from the Ancient Enzymes, “tRNA Synthetases”. Many Noble prize winners and editors will be there, so it is a great opportunity
