  Howard Martin Temin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Howard Martin Temin ( December 10, 1934 - February 9, 1994) was a U.S. geneticist.
The discovery of reverse transcriptase is one of the most important of the modern era of medicine, as reverse transcriptase is the central enzyme in several widespread human diseases, such as HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, and Hepatitis B.
A long-time advocate against smoking, Temin died at the age of 59 from lung cancer, although he himself was never a smoker.

Temin and Rubin6 established the previously suspected model that cells in which RSV infection is established pass on to their progeny the capacity to release RSV.
Howard concluded that “the virus becomes equivalent to a cellular gene controlling cellular morphology.” He also contemplated the possibility that the ability of RSV to control the morphology of cells infected in vitro was related to the virus’s tumorigenic capacity in vivo.
Howard analyzed the effects of serum on the proliferation of CEF cells in culture and recognized that the removal of serum inhibited the cells’ proliferation.12 He used this insight to manipulate cultures of cells such that they were partially synchronized within their proliferative cycle.

 Howard M. Temin, December 10, 1934–February 9, 1994 | By Bill Sugden | Biographical Memoirs
Howard analyzed the effects of serum on the proliferation of CEF cells in culture and recognized that the removal of serum inhibited the cells' proliferation.
Howard Temin's research on RNA tumor viruses, his contributions to the elucidation of their replication, and his enunciation of and experimental support for the provirus hypothesis were not conducted in a vacuum.
Howard interpreted the high frequency of detected recombination during retroviral replication to result from the inherent ability of reverse transcriptase to switch its templates, an event essential to synthesis of the proviral precursor.

 The Lasker Foundation | Former Award Winners, Basic Medical Research 1974, Obituary
Howard M. Temin, a cancer researcher, who won the Nobel Prize for discovering an enzyme, reverse transcriptase, that overturned a central tenet of molecular biology, died of lung cancer Wednesday, at his home in Madison, Wis. He was 59.
Temin was an ardent crusader against smoking, even admonishing members of the audience at the Nobel Prize ceremony for smoking when he was being honored for his efforts to combat cancer.
Temin was puzzled why RNA viruses were an exception to the central dogma, and suggested in 1964, that some animal viruses may harbor reverse transcriptase, which would permit duplication of the virus's RNA into DNA for better biological adjustment after the virus entered a DNA-dominated animal cell.

Howard Temin was born in 1934 in Philadelphia.
In subsequent years, Temin accumulated indirect evidence supporting his theory, but the major breakthrough occurred in 1970 when he and, independently, David Baltimore, documented the presence of an enzyme in RNA tumor virus particles -- reverse transcriptase -- capable of making a DNA copy from RNA.
In 1975, Howard Temin received the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology, along with Baltimore and Dulbecco, his Ph.D. adviser, for their work in understanding the role played by viruses in the initiation of cancer.

 The Howard Temin Award (K01)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The goal of the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Howard Temin Award is to bridge the transition from a mentored research environment to an independent basic cancer research career for scientists who have demonstrated unusually high potential.
To achieve this objective, the Howard Temin Award offers candidates up to 5 years to gain additional skills and knowledge in human cancer research, including up to 3 years in a mentored environment followed by transition to the equivalent of a junior faculty position to develop an independent research program.
At least 75 percent of the recipient's full-time professional effort must be devoted to the career development plan/research proposed in the Temin application and the remainder must be devoted to activities related to the development of a successful research career focused on human cancer research.

 1970 - Hamilton Smith & Howard Temin & David Baltimore
Temin realized that this might mean the RSV replicated through a DNA intermediate, which he called the provirus.
That is, Temin was proposing the sequence RNA (of the RSV) to DNA (provirus) to RNA (replicated RSV) which, while not actually excluded by the Central Dogma, was not implied by it either.
In June 1970 Baltimore and, quite independently, Howard Temin announced the discovery of an enzyme later to be known as reverse transcriptase, which is capable of transcribing RNA into DNA.

 NIH Guide: THE HOWARD TEMIN AWARD
FUNDS AVAILABLE The Howard Temin award is a highly competitive award, with the intent of providing support to outstanding junior scientists during their transition to an independent investigator status.
The Howard Temin Award not only offers continuing encouragement to clinicians for training in basic research, but additionally represents a complementary new effort to encourage scientists trained in the basic sciences to focus on problems of direct high relevance to the clinical sciences or the prevention, control and population sciences as they relate to cancer.
Specifically, the Howard Temin Award provides an opportunity for medically trained individuals and basic scientists to initially work under a mentor in an institutional environment that will enable them to transition to an independent research position and acquire research support focused on issues and problems directly relevant to human cancer.

The Howard Temin Award also encourages postdoctoral individuals exclusively trained in the basic sciences to refocus their research careers on problems of direct relevance to human cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis, and treatment.
Specifically, the Howard Temin Award provides an opportunity for basic scientists to train under a mentor experienced in human cancer research, transition to an independent research position and acquire research support focused on issues and problems directly relevant to human cancer.

 Ahead of the Curve: CHAPTER ONE
Howard knew that anyone accepted to the program had to be bright.
Temin was a link for Baltimore between the unformed teenage summer interns like himself and the older, established faculty scientists.
Through his contact with Temin, Baltimore had the chance to ask, "Do I have what it takes to compare to Howard Temin?" Temin's accomplishments and rapid success set the bar for Baltimore; and, consciously or not, Baltimore would spend years working to match the skills of his first scientific role model.

Howard M. Temin joined the faculty at the McArdle Laboratory for Cancer Research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1960 and immediately began to stir the scientific world.
Temin's early work focused on his revolutionary "provirus hypothesis" that the Rous Sarcoma Virus infection of cells, and their subsequent conversions to the cancerous state, involved a reversal of the flow of genetic information.
Temin's provirus hypothesis challenged what was then considered the central dogma of molecular biology ­ that genetic information always flows from DNA to RNA.

Howard Temin was since the end of the 1950ies concerned with studies of tumour viruses which contain the alternative type of genetic material, i.e.
In order to explain this Temin postulated that the genetic information of an RNA virus capable of giving transformation could be copied into DNA, and that this DNA in a manner similar to that described for a DNA tumour virus could become integrated into the genetic material of cells.
Temin accumulated certain indirect evidences supporting his theory but the major breakthrough occurred in 1970 when simultaneously Temin and also David Baltimore showed the occurrence of a specific enzyme in RNA tumour virus particles which could make a DNA copy from RNA.

Temin proposed in 1964 that the virus somehow translated its RNA into DNA, which then redirected the reproductive activity of the cell, transforming it into a cancer cell.
Skeptics pointed out that Temin's suggestion contradicted the contemporary tenet of molecular biology: that genetic information always passed from DNA to RNA, rather than the reverse.
Temin obtained his Ph.D. in 1959, and after spending another year with Dulbecco, he joined the faculty of the University of Wisconsin in Madison, where he taught and conducted research until his death.
