描述(由申请人提供):具有人类的完整序列

为新发现的蛋白质提供功能标准。理解
复杂基因组中存在的不同蛋白质功能必须包括
许多不同的和独特的方法。这些功能性方法目前
包括用于相互作用蛋白质的双杂交筛选、用于
可视化表达复杂性,以及其他旨在阐明

我们的主要重点是了解模式化所需的信号,

英文摘要
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): With the complete sequence of the human
and mouse genomes on the horizon, the critical next step in genomic analysis is
to provide functional criteria for the newly discovered proteins. Understanding
the diverse protein functions present within complex genomes must encompass
many different and unique approaches. These functional approaches currently
include two-hybrid screens for interacting proteins, microarray techniques for
visualizing expression complexity, and other assays designed to elucidate
specialized functions. We have developed one such functional-based assay that
we will utilize to identify potentially hundreds of molecules that can alter
specific cell fate responses.
Our main focus is to understand the signals necessary for patterning and
specifying diverse cellular fates during gastrulation in the mouse. Mouse
gastrulation, even more so than amphibian and teleost gastrulation, is a period
of vast differentiation and growth. During this stage, the mouse embryo
transitions from having only two cell types, to having hundreds. Although an
incredibly rich source of cell signaling, the mouse gastrula has not been used
by molecular biologists to mine for molecules. This is mainly due to the size
(100uM) and inaccessibility of the mouse gastrula, which therefore precludes
the effective use of biochemistry, embryology and molecular assays in general.
We have devised a screen that taps the identity of molecules involved in cell
fate specification during mouse gastrulation. This approach delivers random
combinations of cDNAs from mouse gastrula libraries into the more tractable
Xenopus embryo. We then observe these embryos for changes in specific marker
gene expression, indicating changes - positive or negative - in cell fate. By
proceeding with a "trial run" of this screen, we have already identified 16
molecules, 8 of which have no understood function. Here, we will embark on a
high throughput screen to elucidate molecules that alter neural, muscle,
endothelial, blood and endodermal cell fates. At the completion of this grant
we will provide the sequence, function and expression data for an estimated 200
previously unexplored molecules.
