[1] These interactions\r\nare often regulated through posttranslational modifications (PTMs) within MYC\u2019s N-terminus\r\n(transactivation domain), most commonly (poly)phosphorylation. Studying these interactions\r\non a molecular level requires proteins with unique and defined PTM patterns, which are\r\nchallenging to obtain by recombinant methods. [2] Flow-based solid-phase peptide synthesis\r\n(SPPS) could therefore be used to obtain long, uniquely modified MYC peptides to study\r\nPTM-dependent binding interactions on a molecular level. [3,4]\r\nA challenge that arose during the chemical synthesis of MYC\u2019s transactivation domain\u2014that\r\nis often encountered in SPPS\u2014was the aggregation of growing peptide chains (\"difficult\r\nsequences\u201d), which can lead to incomplete couplings. Previous research into this sequence-\r\ndependent phenomenon was limited by the lack of high-throughput analytical methods,\r\nthus impeding systematic analysis. While flow-based SPPS allows for aggregation detection,\r\nit has so far not led to the development of tools for its suppression.\r\nTo enable the synthesis of MYC\u2019s transactivation domain, we developed a \u201cSynthesis Tag\u201d\r\n(SynTag) consisting of six arginines connected via a cleavable MeDbz linker. [5] SynTag\r\neffectively improves batch- and flow-SPPS of \u201cdifficult sequences\u201d, enhances the solubility of\r\nthe cleaved peptides and provides direct access to native sequences by hydrolysis, or\r\npeptide thioesters for Native Chemical Ligation (NCL). We demonstrate its utility in the first\r\nchemical synthesis of the MYC transactivation domain with a single NCL. We envisage\r\nSynTag to become a broadly applicable tool that enables the synthesis and study of\r\npreviously unattainable peptides and proteins.\r\n\r\n[1] C. Lourenco, D. Resetca, C. Redel, P.

Poets such as J.P. Clark, a Nigerian poet, W.H. Auden, an Anglo-American poet, and Langston Hughes, an African-American poet, among others, delivered a series of talks. In the audience, a diverse assembly of poets, notably younger Caribbean and African poets such as Derek Walcott and Wole Soyinka, listened intently.\r\n\r\nThis talk tracks the institutionally supported emergence of a Black global poetics, a category that denotes both the writing and circulation of poems as well as the theoretical frameworks poets actively created in discourse with one another. Through a close focus on this 1964 gathering as an example of this global poetics, I ask how Black transnationalism mediated the development of global poetics amid the 1960s' backdrop of decolonization, civil rights struggles, and Cold War politics. In doing so, I show how Black poets leveraged Cold War-era infrastructure to strategically bolster their work, how debate and disagreement enabled solidarities, and why studying networks of poets can not only yield insights into the development of African literature in the '60s but also enables a way of reading specifically for poetry in the field of world literature. Through this, the talk illustrates the centrality of poetry in any study of world literature and the historical significance of poetry in the development of African and Black Atlantic literary traditions. \r\n\r\nThis event is hosted by the Poetry & Poetics Workshop.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"118784-21841612@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/118784", "building_id":"1", "building_name":"Angell Hall", "campus_maps_id":"12", "room":"TBA", "location_name":"Angell Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["English"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Poetry and Poetics Workshop", "group_id":"4687", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Department of English Language and Literature", "group_id":"3604", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21841612 } , "113380-21830933": { "datetime_modified":"20231005T105727", "datetime_start":"20240412T170000", "datetime_end":"20240412T180000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2024-04-12", "date_end":"2024-04-12", "time_start":"17:00:00", "time_end":"18:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Kaffeestunde im Max Kade Haus", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Kaffeestunde im Max Kade Haus", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Social \/ Informal Gathering", "event_type_id":"19", "description":"Kaffeestunde is a weekly opportunity to mingle and unwind \"auf Deutsch\".
