Timeline

1924

Mabel Ruth Hokin (1924-2003) was a biochemist who spent most of her professional career conducting fundamental research in the University of Wisconsin Medical School.

She is most well known for the work she did early in her career, along with then-husband Lowell Hokin, in the study of stimulated phosphoinositide turnover in secretory tissues, a key component of transmembrane signaling and many other cell regulatory processes which became known as the 'PI Effect'.

Mabel Ruth Neaverson was born to working-class parents in the Heeley district of Sheffield, England in early 1924.

She had two younger sisters, Mary and Dorothy.

Mabel took to academic pursuits at an early age, excelling in elementary and grammar school as well as at bible scholarship.

1942

She spent 1942 to 1943 working in the Women's Land Army, where, among other things, she helped administer a refugee camp for Czech Jews.

(Mabel converted to Judaism ten years later.)

She also became interested in costume design and theater, where she met her first husband, actor and playwright Dennis Davison.

1943

Mabel worked as a technician in the Medical Research Council Unit for Research in Cell Metabolism under Hans Krebs at the University of Sheffield from 1943 to 1946, and enrolled as a student in 1946, continuing to work for Krebs.

1949

Krebs recognized Mabel's scientific mind and talent in the laboratory, and urged her to pursue doctoral work, which she began in 1949 after receiving her Bachelor of Science Honors degree in physiology.

She did her graduate research under Quentin Gibson in the Physiology department.

In a short time, Mabel met Krebs' graduate student Lowell Hokin, and the two began a romantic as well as professional relationship.

1950

Mabel and Lowell Hokin conducted research in fundamental biochemistry together from their doctoral research days in Sheffield, to their work at McGill University in the 1950s, up to the mid-1960s at the University of Wisconsin.

1952

Mabel received her Ph.D. in 1952.

1953

work came very early in their careers, and was first published in their seminal 1953 paper

in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.

In it, Mabel and Lowell described experiments in which they stimulated enzyme secretion in slices of pigeon pancreas in the presence of media containing the radioisotope P32.

They found that the phospholipid fraction from the stimulated slices, formerly thought to contain fairly inert structural components of cell membranes, contained up to 9 times as much P32 as it did in the non-stimulated control samples.

and their 1953 and 1958

1955

In a 1955 paper

Lowell and Mabel showed that the bulk of the P32 went into phosphatidate and 'a phosphoinositide' that was later identified as phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns).

1958

They then showed that this metabolic response, which became known as the 'PI effect', occurred in a variety of stimulated tissues, such as pigeon pancreas (1958),

suggesting that it plays a widespread role in cell regulation.

1960

From the mid-1960s, Mabel worked in her own areas of research with a particular focus on neurochemistry after she received a primary appointment in the Department of Psychiatry along with a joint appointment in the Department of Physiological Chemistry in the University of Wisconsin Medical School.

Mabel and Lowell's most significant

Mabel's assistant, Ken Sadeghian, worked with her from the 1960s until her retirement.

Interest in the PI effect waned in the 1960s and 1970s, but experienced a resurgence in the 1980s due to advances in technology and understanding of cell membrane biochemistry.

1965

Mabel and Lowell summarized their cell membrane biochemistry research in a 1965 article

in Scientific American.

1970

In the 1970s, Mabel became interested in the biochemistry of the brain, or neurochemistry, and, as a full professor, led the Laboratory for Neurochemistry Research in the Department of Psychiatry in the University of Wisconsin Medical School, which was conveniently located in the same building as the physiological chemistry, pharmacology, and anatomy departments, where her colleagues worked and from which she drew graduate students.

She delved into undergraduate teaching at one point, teaching a course on drugs and the mind in the early 1970s, but her primary teaching activity was guiding graduate students and teaching graduate biochemistry courses.

Unlike her earlier research, which exclusively employed animal tissues, Mabel also studied blood samples from humans, including mentally ill patients, and contributed to the understanding of the biochemical basis of mental illness, showing the first biochemical marker for one of the major psychoses.

1971

(she published as M. Hokin-Neaverson after her 1971 divorce from Lowell).

1974

In 1974, Mabel provided some of the first experimental evidence that launched the modern phase of work in this area

1996

Mabel and Lowell became regarded as founders of an important and still growing field of biochemistry and cell biology — the many roles of inositol phospholipids in cell function — for which they were honored at a 1996 symposium at the University of Wisconsin that gathered their colleagues from around the world.

Their early work was highlighted in a 20th anniversary review of the discovery of inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate as a second messenger,

2005

JBC articles were celebrated as "JBC Classics" in 2005.

Most of Mabel's life was spent under a shadow cast by autoimmune illness.

At the age of 16 she was diagnosed with lupus and given a dire prognosis for longevity.

It turned out, however, to be a nonfatal autoimmune connective tissue disease with which Mabel struggled for the rest of her life.
