Mechanisms Underlying GnRH Metabolite Action

GnRH 代谢作用的机制

基本信息

项目摘要

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) was first isolated in mammals and shown to be the primary regulator of the reproductive system. After this initial discovery, GnRH has been shown to be part of a larger family of similar peptides found in the brain and other tissues. To date, over 20 family members have been identified in vertebrate and invertebrates, and they have been shown to have diverse functions. As with most peptides, GnRH is regulated at the synthesis level (gene expression and translation) and at secretion. In addition, GnRH is processed by a zinc metalloendopeptidase EC 3.4.24.15 (EP24.15) that cleaves the hormone at the covalent bond between the 5th and 6th residue of the decapeptide (Tyr5-Gly6) to form a subproduct, GnRH-(1-5). This subproduct of GnRH, GnRH-(1-5) is bioactive and has been shown to regulate gene expression and facilitate reproductive behavior in brain and other tissues. Dr. Wu?s laboratory recently identified an orphan G-protein coupled receptor (GPR) that binds to GnRH-(1-5) with high affinity and this receptor is likely to be the mediator of GnRH-(1-5) activities. To that end, this project will use two physiological approaches and an anatomical approach to test this hypothesis. These studies will identify a ligand and a function for an orphan receptor. The collective data will underscore the importance of peptide processing in regulating neurobiological processes that is beyond the attributes of the parent peptide ? an evolutionary influence to increase diversity. The results of this study and the identification of a novel receptor may also resolve many present quandaries in the current utilization of the parent peptide. Broader Impact: The project will include a significant training component in which apostdoctoral fellow, 1-2 graduate students and at least 6 college students and highschool students will receive training in neuroendocrine techniques. Each student will be involved in one specific aim supervised by a senior member of the laboratory. The high school student will participate in lab meetings, they will conduct some of the experiments and present at high school?s science fair, ultimately submitting their work to local and national science fairs and competitions.
促性腺激素释放激素(GnRH)首先在哺乳动物中分离出来,并被证明是生殖系统的主要调节因子。 在这一初步发现之后,GnRH已被证明是在大脑和其他组织中发现的类似肽的更大家族的一部分。 迄今为止,在脊椎动物和无脊椎动物中已经鉴定出20多个家族成员,并且它们已被证明具有不同的功能。 与大多数肽一样,GnRH在合成水平(基因表达和翻译)和分泌水平受到调节。 此外,GnRH由锌金属内肽酶EC 3.4.24.15(EP 24.15)加工,该酶在十肽(Tyr 5-Gly 6)的第5和第6个残基之间的共价键处切割激素,形成亚产物GnRH-(1-5)。 GnRH的这种子产物GnRH-(1-5)具有生物活性,并已被证明可调节基因表达并促进脑和其他组织中的生殖行为。 吴医生?G蛋白偶联受体(GPR)与GnRH-(1-5)有很强的结合力,可能是GnRH-(1-5)活性的调节因子。 为此,本项目将使用两种生理学方法和一种解剖学方法来验证这一假设。 这些研究将确定孤儿受体的配体和功能。 集体的数据将强调肽加工在调节神经生物学过程中的重要性,这超出了母体肽的属性?一种进化的影响来增加多样性。 本研究的结果和新受体的鉴定也可以解决目前利用亲本肽的许多困惑。 更广泛的影响:该项目将包括一个重要的培训部分,其中博士研究员、1-2名研究生和至少6名大学生和高中生将接受神经内分泌技术的培训。每个学生将参与一个特定的目标,由实验室的高级成员监督。高中生将参加实验室会议,他们将进行一些实验,并提出在高中?科学博览会,最终提交他们的工作,以地方和国家的科学博览会和比赛。
