RESEARCH ABSTRACT

 

IP3 receptor regulation, the ubiquitin / proteasome pathway, the Bcl-2 protein family and intracellular signaling

IP3是一种细胞内信使分子,当激素作用于质膜时形成, neurotransmitters or drugs stimulate cells. The effects of IP3 are mediated by proteins called IP3 receptors, 控制钙离子从内质网释放到细胞质溶胶的通道:这种“钙动员”是许多细胞功能的核心部分. 我的实验室研究IP3受体生物化学和分子生物学的各个方面已经有一段时间了. 我们目前的主要重点是分析IP3受体的下调——这是一种显著的现象,当IP3受体受到刺激时,它们会迅速从细胞中消失(见图)。. 这是一种典型的适应性反应,使细胞能够适应外部环境,发生在慢性药物暴露期间,也可能发生在生理和病理情况下. 我们目前正在研究IP3受体下调的机制,发现其发生是由于IP3受体被泛素标记,然后被蛋白体降解. 这是令人兴奋的,因为泛素/蛋白体途径目前是细胞生物学的“热点领域”之一,越来越明显的是,这一途径是许多重要的细胞蛋白和内质网中错误折叠蛋白被降解的机制,并且与疾病(如疾病)具有重要的相关性.g. cancer, neurodegeneration, diabetes). Our immediate goals, then, 在分子水平上定义通过泛素/蛋白酶体途径导致IP3受体降解的途径并开始构建何时的图景, why and how cellular proteins are tagged with ubiquitin. As depicted in the diagram, 近年来,我们发现IP3受体泛素化是由erlin1和erlin2蛋白组成的新复合物介导的, and the ubiquitin ligase RNF170, 两种泛素链类型(K48-linked和K63-linked)与活化的IP3受体偶联. Using advanced techniques (e.g. 我们现在正在结构水平上定义IP3受体和erlin1/2复合物是如何相互作用的. 第二个重点是表征Bcl-2家族蛋白(控制细胞凋亡)与IP3受体的相互作用. We recently discovered that Bok (“Bcl-2-Related Ovarian K“iller”)组成性地结合IP3受体,并定义了这种相互作用的重要性. Because of the importance of IP3 receptors, the ubiquitin / proteasome pathway, and the Bcl-2 protein family to cell biology, this work is significant to both our understanding of normal physiology, and also to diseases, such as cancer and neurodegeneration.

Bok (blue) is bound constitutively to a site on the IP3 receptor tetramer by its BH4 domain (dark blue). The discovery of these IP3 receptor-associated proteins is described in references 58, 62, 64, 68, 69, 74, 76 and 77 from the list below.
