项目摘要

It has been revealed that the Rab3A, a small GTPase, and SNARE systems are involved in neurotransmitter release. The Rab3A system consists of its target protein, which interacts with the GTP-bound form of Rab3A but not with the GDP-bound form of Rab3A, and its several regulatory proteins. We have identified Rabphilin-3 as a target protein for Rab3A and revealed the possibility that Rabphilin-3 functions as a Ca^<2+>-sensor in the presynapse. On the other hand, available evidence suggests that the SNARE system functions at the downstream of the Rab3A system and is implicated in neurotransmitter release. We have identified Tomosyn as a regulatory protein of the SNARE system. It is possible that Tomosyn is a central player which links between the Rab3A and SNARE systems. However, the mechanism by which the Rab3A system regulates the SNARE system in neurotransmitter release remains to be clarified. Therefore, in this study we attempted to clarify the mechanism. We revealed that there were at least three isoforms of Tomosyn, b-, m-, and s-Tomosyns and that all of the tomosyn isoforms interacted through their C-terminal VAMP-like regions with syntaxin-1 but not with other syntaxin isoforms such as syntaxin-2, -3, and -4. Moreover, we identified a novel syntaxin-1-binding protein. On the basis of its biochemical properties, it was possible that the syntaxin-1-binding protein was a cytoskeleton-related protein. One mole of the syntaxin-1-binding protein bound to about 0.8 mole of syntaxin-1 and the dose giving the half maximal binding of syntaxin-1 to the syntaxin-1-binding protein was about 90 nM.The interaction of the syntaxin-1-binding protein with syntaxin-1 was inhibited by Munc18 in a dose-dependent manner. In future we attempt to purify the syntaxin-1-binding protein, determine its primary structure, and reveal its function in neurotransmitter release.

已经揭示Rab 3A（一种小的GTdR）和SNARE系统参与神经递质释放。Rab 3A系统由其靶蛋白及其几种调节蛋白组成，所述靶蛋白与Rab 3A的GTP结合形式相互作用，但不与Rab 3A的GDP结合形式相互作用。我们已经确定Rabphilin-3是Rab 3A的靶蛋白，并揭示了Rabphilin-3在突触前作为Ca^2+感受器的可能性。另一方面，现有证据表明，SNARE系统在Rab 3A系统的下游发挥作用，并参与神经递质的释放。我们已经确定Tomosyn作为SNARE系统的调节蛋白。Tomosyn可能是连接Rab 3A和SNARE系统的核心参与者。然而，Rab 3A系统在神经递质释放中调节SNARE系统的机制仍有待阐明。因此，在本研究中，我们试图阐明其机制。我们发现Tomosyn至少有三种异构体，即B-、m-和s-Tomosyn，并且所有Tomosyn异构体都通过其C-末端VAMP样区域与突触融合蛋白1相互作用，但不与其他突触融合蛋白异构体如突触融合蛋白2、3和4相互作用。此外，我们确定了一种新的syntaxin-1结合蛋白。根据其生物化学性质，syntaxin-1结合蛋白可能是一种细胞因子相关蛋白。1摩尔的突触融合蛋白-1结合蛋白与约0.8摩尔的突触融合蛋白-1结合，并且给予突触融合蛋白-1与突触融合蛋白-1结合蛋白的半数最大结合的剂量为约90 nM。在未来，我们试图纯化syntaxin-1结合蛋白，确定其一级结构，并揭示其在神经递质释放的功能。
