英文摘要
DESCRIPTION: (from applicant's abstract) The long term goal of the
research in this application is to understand the mechanism of
regulation of the gating of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR)
ion channel by acetylcholine binding. The specific goal of this project
is to define the neurotransmitter binding sites on the AChR. Three
specific aims will be carried out. First, two series of homologous
toxins, based on the alkaloid d-tubocurarine and on the peptide alpha-
conotoxins, will be synthesized and characterized for binding to native
receptors. Second, an extended set of amino acids in the AChR that
interact with the toxins will be defined. Third, specific interaction
energies between AChR amino acids and functional groups on the toxins
will be measured to then complete a map of complementary interactions
between binding site residues and the toxins.
The methods for carrying out these specific aims include equilibrium
binding analysis of toxins to the AChR and synthesis of new toxins,
principally peptide synthesis and modification. AChR subunit chimeras
will be constructed with sequentially smaller segment replacement.
These chimeras will be analyzed for their toxin binding properties to
identify amino acids involved in binding. Photoaffinity derivatives of
toxins will also be synthesized for identification of amino acids at the
binding sites by subsequent proteolytic mapping. Site directed
mutations of amino acids that interact with the toxins will be
constructed. Then the energy contribution of specific amino acid-toxin
interactions will be measured by double mutant thermodynamic cycle
analysis.
The skeletal muscle AChR (and particularly the extracellular domain) is
the target of autoimmune antibodies in the disease Myasthenia gravis.
The neuronal homologs of this protein are likely involved in nicotine
addiction and possibly Alzheimer's disease. A better understanding of
the structure of the extracellular domain of the AChR and especially
the neurotransmitter sites will be important for a full understanding
of these ailments and may lead to insights to improve rational drug
design for this class of receptors.
