项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT All cells throughout the three domains of life are coated in an array of structurally and compositionally diverse glycans which play a key role in cell signaling and recognition. In eukaryotic systems, a number of strategies for the perturbation of these structures with unnatural sugar probes have been disclosed. These probes have proven to be a powerful tool for interrogating glycan structure, function and dynamics in living systems. However, because these techniques all rely on extensive metabolic processing of the probe prior to incorporation, they have been largely ineffective in bacteria, which utilize a multitude of catabolic pathways that can degrade and reconstitute parts of the probe on the way to the final destination. This proposal aims to circumvent this problem by designing small molecule probes that engage directly with the extracellular enzymes that construct important cell wall motifs. This strategy, termed ‘biosynthetic incorporation’ will be applied to the selective modification of two important glycolipid virulence factors within the cell wall of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the lipoarabinomannan (LAM) and trehalose dimycolate (TDM), which help the pathogen infect host cells and evade the body’s immune defense system. This proposal focuses primarily on the design and synthesis of azide-modified arabinofuranose, mannose and mycolic acid probes and studies intended to quantify the degree of incorporation and distribution of the probes. The tools developed in the course of this work will be used to visualize the localization and dynamics of the LAM and TDM during host cell infection using live cell imaging. Insights gleaned from these studies could elucidate new strategies for the treatment of mycobacterial diseases like Mtb. The Kiessling research group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is an ideal environment to pursue the research outlined in this proposal and to achieve the training goals that will prepare me for a career in academia. In the Kiessling group, I will be able to continue to hone and utilize my skills in synthetic organic chemistry while also gaining expertise in a diverse array of new techniques including microscopy, microbiology, flow cytometry and cell culture. I will have the opportunity to mentor undergraduates and graduate students within the group. In addition to this, the MIT Teaching and Learning Lab provides programming and a number of resources that I will utilize in order to continue to build my teaching skills. I am confident that the exceptional laboratory and institutional environment at MIT will provide me with the tools necessary for a successful independant career.
项目摘要/摘要 贯穿生命三个领域的所有细胞在结构和组成上都被覆盖在一个阵列中 在细胞信号传递和识别中起关键作用的多种多糖。在真核系统中,许多 已经公开了用非天然糖探针干扰这些结构的策略。这些 探针已被证明是询问生物中多糖结构、功能和动力学的有力工具 系统。然而,因为这些技术都依赖于在检测之前对探针进行广泛的代谢处理 在细菌中,它们在很大程度上是无效的,细菌利用多种分解代谢途径 可以在前往最终目的地的途中降解和重建探测器的一部分。这项建议旨在 通过设计直接与胞外酶结合的小分子探针来绕过这个问题 它们构成了重要的细胞壁图案。这项名为“生物合成结合”的策略将应用于 分枝杆菌细胞壁中两个重要糖脂毒力因子的选择性修饰 结核(Mtb)、阿拉伯甘露聚糖(LAM)和海藻糖二乙醇酸酯(TDM),它们有助于病原体 感染宿主细胞,逃避身体的免疫防御系统。这份提案主要集中在设计上。 叠氮修饰的阿拉伯呋喃糖、甘露糖和霉菌酸探针的合成和研究 量化探针的并入程度和分布。在这项工作过程中开发的工具 将用于可视化LAM和TDM在宿主细胞感染期间的定位和动态 细胞成像。从这些研究中收集到的见解可以阐明治疗该病的新策略 分枝杆菌疾病,如结核分枝杆菌。 麻省理工学院(MIT)的基斯林研究小组是一个理想的环境 继续这项建议中概述的研究,并实现为我的职业生涯做准备的培训目标 在学术界。在Kiessling小组,我将能够继续磨练和利用我在合成有机方面的技能 同时还获得了一系列新技术的专业知识,包括显微镜、微生物学、 流式细胞术和细胞培养。我将有机会指导本科生和研究生 在集团内部。除此之外,麻省理工学院教学实验室还提供编程和一些 我将利用这些资源来继续培养我的教学技能。我相信,不同寻常的 麻省理工学院的实验室和机构环境将为我提供成功 独立的职业生涯。
