	Avram Hershko
		Avram Hershko was born in 1937, in Karcag, Hungary.
		Hershko is a Distinguished Professor at the Unit of Biochemistry, the Rappaport Faculty of Medicine at the Technion (Israel Institute of Technology) in Haifa, Israel.

	Hershko, Avram - MSN Encarta
		Hershko, Avram, born in 1937, Hungarian-born Israeli biochemist and cowinner of the 2004 Nobel Prize in chemistry for his role in discovering the process by which cells apply a molecular “tag” to certain proteins, marking them for destruction.
		When Hershko and his colleagues began their research in the 1970s, many scientists had studied the process by which cells assemble the hundred thousand or so different proteins that fulfill many vital cellular functions.
		Hershko and Ciechanover, who was then his graduate student, decided to study a question that had puzzled biochemists since the 1950s: why the breakdown of a cell’s own proteins require energy on the part of the cell, when other forms of protein degradation do not consume the cell’s energy.

		Avram Hershko, one of the three winners of this year’s Nobel Prize in chemistry, owes his life to a random event that occurred in Hungary during the Holocaust in 1944.
		Hershko, an Israeli who shares the award with two other scientists, Aaron Ciechanover of Israel and Irwin Rose of the United States, was to have been transported to that infamous death camp in Poland with his mother, Shoshana, and older brother, Chaim.
		Hershko, the first Israeli, along with Ciechanover, to win a Nobel Prize in science, was not at his home on Mount Carmel on Sukkot when the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences called to inform him that he was one of the winners.

		Hershko and Varshavsky stand out in their seminal contributions to the discovery of both the mechanism and the functions of ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis.
		Professor Avram Hershko was the first to recognize that the covalent attachment of a small protein, later found to be ubiquitin, plays a role in ATP-dependent proteolysis.
		The discovery by Hershko and Varshavsky that ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis is a fundamental regulatory process, impacts on virtually all aspects of modern biology.

		The rest of the Hershko family, Hershko’s mother and his brother and himself were taken to a ghetto first in their home town in Karcag, then to a larger concentration in Szolnok, in central Hungary.
		The Hershko family was among the lucky ones and were sent to a distribution camp of Strasshof near Vienna.
		Hershko had started the work almost a decade before; Ciechanover was initially his doctoral student; Rose was a recognized researcher of enzymes when he and Hershko met and Hersho and Ciechanover spent some time in Rose’s laboratory in Philadelphia.

		Biochemists Avram Hershko and Alexander Varsh-avsky recently re-ceived the 2001 Massry Prize for their groundbreaking research on regulated protein degradation.
		The award recipients created the field of regulated protein degradation, discovered the role of the degradative components called "the ubiquitin system," described the intraceIlular structures they comprise, and elaborated the precise rules that govern how, where and when a specific protein molecule is subjected to regulated degradation, according to a release from the foundation.
		It also noted that the pioneering work of Hershko and Varshavsky laid the groundwork for the discoveries that the ubiquitin system plays a central role in the cell cycle, cell growth and differentiation, regulation of DNA replication, nerve cell connections and even acquisition of memory.

		Aaron Ciechanover, Avram Hershko and Irwin Rose went against the stream and at the beginning of the 1980s discovered one of the cell's most important cyclical processes, regulated protein degradation.
		Aaron Ciechanover, Avram Hershko and Irwin Rose have brought us to realise that the cell functions as a highly-efficient checking station where proteins are built up and broken down at a furious rate.
		The degradation is not indiscriminate but takes place through a process that is controlled in detail so that the proteins to be broken down at any given moment are given a molecular label, a ‘kiss of death', to be dramatic.

	Marine Biological Laboratory summer investigator wins Nobel Prize in Chemistry
		By 1989, MBL scientists had developed a means of studying cyclins and the cell cycle in the test tube using the eggs of local surf clams as models.
		Today Hershko is studying that ubiquitin ligating complex in both clam eggs and cultured human cells in hopes of learning even more about cell division in general and cancer more specifically.
		At the MBL, Hershko is also leading an effort to sequence some of the surf clam's active genes-an effort, Hershko says, that is vital to the future of his research.
