Nobel Prize Awarded to Randy W. Schekman, James E. Rothman, and Thomas C. Südhof

Yeast cells with mutational transport mechanisms or Saccharomyces cerevisiae establish the genetic basis for vesicle transport and fusion with the plasma membrane. From these cells, regulatory genes encoding proteins essential for intracellular transport can be isolated. Kaiser and Schekman (1990) specifically analyzed the SEC protein. Mutation manifestation revealed that vesicle construction is dependent on SEC protein and vesicles can form a COP II envelope containing these SEC proteins.

Dr. Randy Schekman is a professor at the University of California, Berkeley and Department of Cell Biology and a researcher at Howard Hughes Medical Research Institute. In Berkeley, he developed a genetic and biochemical approach to study eukaryotic membrane translocation. Dr. Schekman, Dr. James Rothman and Dr. Thomas Sudhof shared the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for elucidating the components and mechanisms of the secretory pathway. In addition to the Nobel Prize, Dr. Shakesman also received many honors and awards, including the Albert Lasker Award and the Louisa Gros Hollwitz Award. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the Academy of American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Currently he is an editor of open access journal eLife.

This week, the Nobel committee presented the discovery of an important molecular mechanism to control circadian rhythms, awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine 2017 to Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rossbash and Michael W Young. Many Nobel predictions show that we work on cancer immunology and genomic editing - which has led to or leads to the discovery of a powerful therapy, but the discovery of these three are in a non-direct way It has a strong influence on health and longevity which reveals basic biology of life.

When I was awarded the Nobel Prize in 2013, eLIFE editor Randy Schekman wrote about the benefits of open access publishing. His article entitled "How to get rid of the struggle of high-quality magazines" emphasizes that traditional magazines caused artificial shortages and distorted the process of scientific communication by restricting copyright I will. Open access helps better science

Randy Shakeman, a biologist at the University of California, Berkeley who received the Nobel Prize, informally recommended that Dr. Sanders in 2015 complain about the achievement of Dr. Croce and the minutes of the National Academy of Sciences did. The most common place to work. "I know these complaints, and I know other concerns about Croce's work besides these specific claims," ​​Dr. Schekman said.
