膜攻击复合体/穿孔素样蛋白(MACPF)在脊椎动物免疫中起关键作用,但一些家族成员在发育过程中发挥重要作用却知之甚少。已有研究表明,果蝇MACPF蛋白既具有发育功能,又具有免疫功能。这里的目的是通过一种新的基因筛选方法来确定Torsolike功能所需的基因,从而揭示Torsolike如何在这些双重角色中发挥作用。该项目还使用比较研究来探索第二种昆虫--蜜蜂--的托尔索样蛋白的替代功能。这些数据将有助于理解这个家族的成员是如何进化成分别参与免疫防御和高等脊椎动物发育的蛋白质的。
英文摘要
Membrane Attack Complex/Perforin-like (MACPF) proteins commonly play key roles in vertebrate immunity, however some family members play critical but poorly understood developmental roles. It has been shown that the sole Drosophila MACPF protein, Torsolike, plays both developmental and immune roles. Here the aim to unravel how Torsolike functions in these dual roles by using a novel genetic screening approach to identify genes needed for its function. The project also uses comparative studies to probe alternative functions of Torsolike in a second insect, the honeybee. This data will be pivotal for understanding how members of this family have evolved into proteins that are separately involved in immune defense and in development in higher vertebrates.
