چکیده
Dyche Mullins grew up in the southern Appalachian region of the US and attended the University of Kentucky, where he obtained B.S. degrees in Mathematics and Electrical Engineering along with a PhD in Biomedical Engineering. He was a postdoctoral fellow with Thomas Pollard, first at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland and later at The Salk Institute for Biomedical Research in La Jolla, California. Since 1999 he has been a member of the Department of Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology at the University of California, San Francisco. Mullins’ work deals with assembly and function of cytoskeletal networks. Current work in his lab focuses on three areas: amoeboid motility of eukaryotic cells; polarity of metazoan embryos; and morphology and internal organization of eubacteria. In 2001 he was selected as a Pew Scholar in the Biomedical Sciences and in 2005 as a Fellow of the Keith R. Porter Endowment for Cell Biology. In 2007 he chaired the program committee for the Annual Meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology and, beginning in 2009, he will co-direct the 110 year-old Physiology Course at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. He prefers older, lugged-steel bicycle frames over newer ones made from welded aluminum; he has a weakness for Oreo cookies; and his favorite color is burnt-orange.

Dyche Mullins: Finding filaments at the fringes
JCB • VOLUME 209 • NUMBER 1 • 2015 4 Dyche Mullins morphed from an electrical engineer to a cell biologist during his doctoral work at the University of Kentucky. Attending the intense Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) Physiology Course assured his transformation and earned him a postdoctoral spot with the course director at the time, Tom Pollard. During his time in Pollard’s lab, fi rst at Jo...

متن کاملReconstitution of DNA segregation driven by assembly of a prokaryotic actin homolog.
Multiple unrelated polymer systems have evolved to partition DNA molecules between daughter cells at division. To better understand polymer-driven DNA segregation, we reconstituted the three-component segregation system of the R1 plasmid from purified components. We found that the ParR/parC complex can construct a simple bipolar spindle by binding the ends of ParM filaments, inhibiting dynamic ...
متن کاملA novel tropomyosin isoform functions at the mitotic spindle and Golgi in Drosophila
Most eukaryotic cells express multiple isoforms of the actin-binding protein tropomyosin that help construct a variety of cytoskeletal networks. Only one nonmuscle tropomyosin (Tm1A) has previously been described in Drosophila, but developmental defects caused by insertion of P-elements near tropomyosin genes imply the existence of additional, nonmuscle isoforms. Using biochemical and molecular...
