Overview

Alfred L. Goldberg was affiliated with Harvard University in the United States and was active in research primarily within the field of biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. Their work encompassed several subfields, including molecular biology, cell biology, genetics, epidemiology, and materials chemistry.

Their research focused heavily on topics related to ubiquitin and proteasome pathways, endoplasmic reticulum stress and disease, genetics and neurodevelopmental disorders, autophagy in disease and therapy, biochemical and molecular research, RNA and protein synthesis mechanisms, and protein degradation and inhibitors.

Frequent coauthors included G. Collins, Dong Hoon Lee, Si-Yi Chen, Ying Lu, and Jordan J. S. VerPlank.

Alfred L. Goldberg published several recent papers, among them:

  • cGMP via PKG activates 26S proteasomes and enhances degradation of proteins, including ones that cause neurodegenerative diseases, 2020, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
  • Proteins containing ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domains not only bind to 26S proteasomes but also induce their activation, 2020, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
  • An allosteric switch regulates Mycobacterium tuberculosis ClpP1P2 protease function as established by cryo-EM and methyl-TROSY NMR, 2020, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
  • Mechanisms That Activate 26S Proteasomes and Enhance Protein Degradation, 2021, Biomolecules
  • Multiple myeloma cells are exceptionally sensitive to heat shock, which overwhelms their proteostasis network and induces apoptosis, 2020, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

Their work was frequently published in the following venues:

  • Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Molecular Cell
  • Biomolecules
  • Brain

Throughout their career, Alfred L. Goldberg received multiple recognitions:

  • Member of the National Academy of Sciences (2015)
  • Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) (2009)
  • Member of the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) (2009)
  • Fellow of the American Psychological Association (APA) (2007)
  • Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2005)

Alfred L. Goldberg's contributions to molecular biology and protein degradation pathways have left a record within academic literature primarily focusing on proteasome function and protein homeostasis mechanisms.
