中文摘要
项目总结:
艰难梭菌感染综合征(CDI)是抗生素相关性腹泻最常见的主要原因之一。
在一些发达国家中,与胃肠炎相关的死亡病例被列为世界上最常见的疾病之一。
这是美国疾病控制和预防中心(CDC)发布的三项最紧迫的威胁。
与CDI相关的疾病主要是由两种同源的外毒素TcdA和TcdB介导的。
它们可以靶向细胞,破坏结肠上皮细胞,导致腹泻和结肠炎。受体结合蛋白。
这是确定毒素的主要作用途径的关键一步,并在很大程度上决定了毒素的趋向性,以及对这些受体的影响。
他们也是治疗药物干预的分子靶点。我们的建议的主要目标是进一步确定。
并对毒素受体进行表征,为毒素受体的识别、识别和识别奠定良好的结构基础。
利用这些新的知识,以获得对生物生物学、发病机制、疾病和疾病的机械性和理解性的理解。
TcdA的治疗方法和TcdB.的治疗方法。我们将采取一种新的多学科的治疗方法,将他们聚集在一起。
金荣生博士的团队在毒素结构/功能方面的专业知识,以及在毒素方面的专业知识。
董敏博士的研究小组的受体识别/发病机制研究。这项提出的工作框架是建立在基础上的。
我们的这两篇论文都发表了关于如何识别FrizzledB(FZD)等蛋白质作为TcdB受体的工作报告,以及广泛的研究。
关于毒素-受体相互作用的初步数据。我们将重点关注以下三个目标:(1)阐明目标。
Tcdb--FZD结构识别的结构基础和致病相关性;;需要(2)了解结构。
《TcdB》和《FZD》的影响力是有约束力的;;和(3)要识别和刻画一部小说《TcdA》。
受体通过CRISPR/Cas9基因介导的全基因组筛查进行调节。这些都是拟议中的研究。
这将为我们提供对毒素-受体相互作用的更全面的了解,以及它们是如何发挥作用的。
有助于研究TcdA和TcdB的毒性、生物学特性和发病机制。
英文摘要
Project Summary
Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is the most common cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea
and gastroenteritis-associated death among developed countries, and it is classified as one of
the top three “urgent threats” by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The
disease associated with CDI is mainly mediated by two homologous exotoxins, TcdA and TcdB.
They target and disrupt the colonic epithelium, leading to diarrhea and colitis. Receptor-binding
is a critical step in the toxin’s action and largely determine toxin tropisms, and these receptors
are also molecular targets for therapeutic interventions. The goal of our proposal is to identify
and characterize toxin receptors, establish a structural basis for toxin-receptor recognition, and
harness this knowledge to gain a mechanistic understanding of the biology, pathogenesis, and
therapy of TcdA and TcdB. We will take a multi-disciplinary approach, bringing together the
expertise in toxin structure/function of Dr. Rongsheng Jin’s group with the expertise in toxin
receptor identification/pathogenesis of Dr. Min Dong’s group. This proposed work is built on
both our published work on identifying Frizzled (FZD) proteins as TcdB receptors, and extensive
preliminary data on toxin-receptor interactions. We will focus on three aims: (1) elucidate the
structural basis and pathogenic relevance of TcdB-FZD recognition;; (2) understand the structure
of TcdB and the influence of FZD binding;; and (3) identify and characterize novel TcdA
receptors through a CRISPR/Cas9 mediated genome-wide screens. These proposed studies
will provide a comprehensive understanding of toxin-receptor interactions and how they
contribute to the toxin biology and pathogenesis of TcdA and TcdB.
