项目摘要
Calcium ions govern many aspects of normal physiology and metabolism in
all organisms and several pathological conditions involve aberrant
calcium signalling. It is critical therefore that the roles of calcium
ions in intracellular and intercellular regulation be understood.
Calmodulin, a small highly conserved protein, mediates many of the
intracellular responses to increased levels of calcium ions. Binding
of calcium to the four calcium binding sites of calmodulin results in
conformational changes which permit calmodulin to bind and activate a
series of intracellular targets. The investigators are using the model
organism Drosophila melanogaster (a fruit fly) to study the function of
calmodulin. All work to date indicates that the functions of calmodulin
in Drosophila are very similar to its functions in mammals and thus the
studies will be directly applicable to mammalian species. The
investigator is interested in the role of the individual calcium binding
sites of calmodulin and has generated a series of mutants in which the
calcium binding sites are incapacitated. Mutants with from one to four
of the binding sites mutated have been generated. Physical studies such
an NMR, X-ray crystallography, UV spectroscopy, Ca2+-binding and Ca2+-
dissociation kinetics will be used to investigate the effects of these
mutations on Ca2+-binding, Ca2+-induced conformational change and target
binding and activation. A series of Ca2+-binding site mutants with a
spectroscopic probe for study of conformational changes in the N-
terminal region of calmodulin has also been generated. In addition, the
investigator will attempt to generate site-directed mutants in which
calmodulin is trapped in the Ca2+-induced conformation. A major
advantage of studying the organism Drosophila is that a genetic approach
to studies of protein function can be applied. The investigator has
recently isolated mutations at the endogenous calmodulin gene of
Drosophila. This puts the investigator in the unique position of being
able to analyze the effects of specific mutations to calmodulin in a
living multicellular organism. Loss of calmodulin function in
Drosophila results in embryonic death mainly as a result of defects in
the nervous system. The investigator will determine the extent to which
mutants defective in one or more calcium binding sites can rescue these
effects. The sophisticated genetics of Drosophila will also allow the
investigator to examine the effects of calmodulin loss at stages beyond
embryogenesis in the individual tissues of the organism. The
investigator will perform this analysis and then examine the ability of
the calcium binding site mutants to rescue the effects of calmodulin
loss in these tissues.
