Inorganic and Organic Hg Damage Proteins | Stephen LaVoie, PhD (proxy) for Anne Summers, PhD
Inorganic and Organic Hg Damage Proteins Differently and Cells Respond Differently as they Recover from these Two Toxicants | Stephen LaVoie, PhD (proxy) for Anne Summers, PhD
IAOMT Annual Conference in Las Vegas, NV
September 9, 2017
Learning Objectives:
1. Basic metallobiology – Life depends on good metals which makes it vulnerable to bad metals
2. What protein structures are most at risk for damage by inorganic or organic Hg compounds
3. What defenses the cell calls upon to recover from sub-acute Hg exposure and how these differ for inorganic and organic Hg compounds
4. Which of these proteins and pathways are most relevant to human cell biology
Dr. Anne Summers, a microbial chemist at the University of Georgia, applies genetics, inorganic biochemistry, biophysics, and computational biology to understand how proteins and metabolic pathways in a model microbe are vulnerable to Hg exposure and what natural defenses the cell can mount to recover from such exposure. She also studies bacterial plasmid-encoded resistance to inorganic and organic mercury compounds (the mer locus) as a model for (a) gene regulation by toxic metals, (b) microbial detoxification of environmental hazards, and (c) the influence of toxic metals on the commensal microbiota of vertebrates.
