项目摘要

Investigating autophagic degradation of tau mediated by polyubiquitination Aberrant degradation and accumulation of tau in human brains is intimately connected to the development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Attentions are now directed to the cellular pathways responsible for the clearance of tau from neuronal cells, particularly through the autophagy-lysosome pathway. K63-linked polyubiquitination of tau is intimately involved in the early stage of autophagic degradation of tau. Compared to the better studied proteasomal degradation of tau, the recognition of tau by the autophagic machinery and the subsequent degradation by lysosome is poorly understood. Mechanistic details and in-depth biochemical characterization of the individual players and steps in this process are lacking. How the K63-linked polyubiquitination of tau mediates its autophagic degradation is largely unknown. Moreover, our understanding of tau deubiquitination and its role in regulating tau homeostasis is still very limited. We will address these unanswered questions using K63-polyUb-tau probes generated using a semi-synthetic approach to capture and identify cognate autophagic receptors and deubiquitinases that are responsible for modulation of the autophagic degradation of tau. Our findings will unveil new biology in this cellular process and provide potential new targets for pharmacological intervention of AD.

研究多泛素化介导的 tau 自噬降解人脑中 tau 蛋白的异常降解和积累与阿尔茨海默病（AD）的发展。现在的注意力集中在负责神经元细胞中 tau 蛋白的清除，特别是通过自噬-溶酶体途径。 K63连锁 tau 的多泛素化与 tau 自噬降解的早期阶段密切相关。相比更好地研究了 tau 的蛋白酶体降解、自噬机制对 tau 的识别以及随后的溶酶体降解尚不清楚。机制细节和深入的生化缺乏对个体参与者的描述以及这一过程中的步骤。 K63如何连接 tau 蛋白的多泛素化介导其自噬降解目前尚不清楚。此外，我们的理解 tau 去泛素化及其在调节 tau 稳态中的作用仍然非常有限。我们将解决这些使用半合成方法生成的 K63-polyUb-tau 探针来捕获和捕获未解答的问题识别负责调节自噬的同源自噬受体和去泛素酶 tau 蛋白的降解。我们的研究结果将揭示该细胞过程中的新生物学并提供潜在的新靶点用于 AD 的药物干预。
