项目摘要
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Voltage-gated calcium (Ca2+) channels play a central role in neuronal function and are essential for converting electrical activity into biochemical events. The main goal of this proposal is to identify the molecular mechanisms by which voltage-gated calcium channels activate signaling cascades that mediate gene expression and promote neuronal survival. Neurons and muscle cells express at least ten different kinds of voltage-gated calcium channels that vary in their subcellular localization and biophysical properties. L-type channels (LTCs) are particularly effective at activating transcriptional pathways and at promoting neuronal survival. The transcription factors CREB and MEF-2 are two important targets of LTC signaling that regulate differentiation and plasticity in the nervous system. The biophysical and biochemical features that allow LTCs to activate gene expression and suppress apoptosis are not well understood. To address the question of how LTCs are linked to signaling pathways the following specific aims are proposed: 1) To determine the structural and biophysical features that allow L-type calcium channels to activate transcription. 2) To determine whether specific L-type channel interacting proteins link the channel to signaling pathways that lead to the activation of transcription. 3) To determine what features of L-type calcium channels allow them to inhibit neuronal apoptosis and promote survival. Biochemical, cell biological and electrophysiological techniques will be used to develop these specific aims. We have recently developed a method of using dihydropyridine insensitive LTCs to investigate LTC signaling in primary neurons and we plan to use this approach for these studies. We have also identified several LTC-interacting proteins that may be important for channel regulation and signaling and we plan to investigate their importance for signaling to the nucleus. The results of these experiments will provide critical insights into how voltage-gated channels activate the signaling pathways that regulate the structure and function of the nervous system.
描述(由申请人提供):电压门控钙(Ca 2+)通道在神经元功能中发挥核心作用,并且对于将电活动转化为生化事件至关重要。该提案的主要目标是确定电压门控钙通道激活信号级联的分子机制,这些信号级联介导基因表达并促进神经元存活。神经元和肌肉细胞表达至少10种不同类型的电压门控钙通道,其在亚细胞定位和生物物理性质上各不相同。L型通道(LTC)在激活转录途径和促进神经元存活方面特别有效。转录因子CREB和MEF-2是LTC信号传导的两个重要靶点,它们调节神经系统的分化和可塑性。允许LTC激活基因表达和抑制细胞凋亡的生物物理和生物化学特征尚未得到很好的理解。为了解决LTC如何与信号传导途径相关联的问题,提出了以下具体目标:1)确定允许L型钙通道激活转录的结构和生物物理特征。 2)确定特定的L型通道相互作用蛋白是否将通道连接到导致转录激活的信号通路。 3)确定L-型钙通道的哪些特征使其能够抑制神经元凋亡并促进存活。 生物化学、细胞生物学和电生理学技术将用于开发这些特定目标。我们最近开发了一种方法,使用二氢吡啶不敏感的LTC研究LTC信号在原代神经元,我们计划使用这种方法进行这些研究。我们还确定了几个LTC相互作用的蛋白质,可能是重要的通道调节和信号,我们计划调查他们的重要性信号细胞核。这些实验的结果将为电压门控通道如何激活调节神经系统结构和功能的信号通路提供重要的见解。
