项目摘要

Research on cellular signals, which depend heavily on physiological, biochemical and enzymatic studies, has made a rapid progress in the last 10 years with the break through introduction of such molecular biotogical approach as cDNA cloning. We studied molecular basis of the intracellular calcium signal transduction system by protein chemical, molecular biological, and molecular pharmacological approach. We have examined the mechanisms by which a novel Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase V(CaM kinase V) was activated by phosphorylation. Physicochemical or biochemical properties of CaM kinase V were also analyzed Furthermore, polyclonal antibody against CaM kinase V was prepared and tissue distribution and immunohistochemical localization of CaM kinase V were studied. We have then discovered the CaM kinase V-activator which was necessary for CaM kinase V catalytic activity. Interestingly, the CaM kinase V-activator did phosphorylate Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IV(CaM kinase IV)associated with its activation. Finally, we suggested that there were new CaM kinase cascades such as those of MAP kinase. We have been studying to analyze biological function using synthesized molecule to activate or inhibit the activities of the target molecule. Based on these studies in creating designed molecular probes acting in the intracellular signal transduction, we have clarified the physiological functions of the CaM kinase which are closely linked to the intracellular signal transduction. Recently, we have cloned two new Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase I(CaM kinase I) isoforms from rat brain and CaM kinase V has been thought to be an isoform of CaM kinase I.

细胞信号的研究在很大程度上依赖于生理、生化和酶的研究，近10年来随着cDNA克隆等分子生物学方法的突破性引入，细胞信号的研究取得了迅速的进展。通过蛋白质化学、分子生物学和分子药理学等方法研究细胞内钙信号转导系统的分子基础。我们研究了一种新的Ca2+/钙调素依赖性蛋白激酶V（CaM激酶V）被磷酸化激活的机制。制备了抗CaM激酶V的多克隆抗体，研究了CaM激酶V的组织分布和免疫组化定位。我们发现了CaM激酶V型激活剂，这是CaM激酶V型催化活性所必需的。有趣的是，CaM激酶v激活剂确实磷酸化了与其激活相关的Ca2+/钙调素依赖性蛋白激酶IV（CaM激酶IV）。最后，我们认为存在新的CaM激酶级联，如MAP激酶级联。我们一直在研究利用合成的分子来激活或抑制目标分子的活性来分析生物功能。在这些研究的基础上，我们设计了参与细胞内信号转导的分子探针，阐明了与细胞内信号转导密切相关的CaM激酶的生理功能。最近，我们从大鼠脑中克隆了两个新的Ca2+/钙调素依赖性蛋白激酶I（CaM kinase I）亚型，CaM激酶V被认为是CaM激酶I的亚型。
