DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Since its establishment in 1998, the New York University Protein Analysis Facility has provided cutting edge mass spectrometry-based protein analysis to investigators at the New York University School of Medicine. Because of the expensive and sophisticated equipment and expertise required, it is impractical or impossible to perform these analyses in individual labs. As a result, demand for facility services has rapidly increased. The purpose of this grant is to provide funding to enable neuroscientists at NYU to take advantage of sophisticated and involved protein mass spectrometry and proteomics that would otherwise not be available to them, and guarantee them access to the technology. The proposed Protein Mass Spectrometry Core Facility for Neuroscience would enable NINDS- and other NIH funded neuroscientists at New York University to identify from one to many hundreds of proteins of interest, to characterize posttranslational modifications of these proteins such as phosphorylation, glycosylation, proteolysis and modification by lipids, to perform functional proteomics studies to identify the proteins involved in key signal transduction processes in neurons, and to characterize protein-protein interactions by surface plasmon resonance. Research areas that would greatly benefit from this core facility include nerve growth and regeneration, neuromuscular junction formation, cancer metastasis, amyloidosis and cerebral hemorrhagic stroke, axon guidance, axon domain assembly, lesion induced synaptic plasticity, potassium channel function, Alzheimer's and other amyloid diseases, brain development, opioid addiction, aging, and neurotransmitter receptor trafficking.

描述（由申请人提供）： 自 1998 年成立以来，纽约大学蛋白质分析设施一直为纽约大学医学院的研究人员提供基于质谱的尖端蛋白质分析。由于需要昂贵且复杂的设备和专业知识，在单个实验室中进行这些分析是不切实际或不可能的。因此，对设施服务的需求迅速增加。这笔赠款的目的是提供资金，使纽约大学的神经科学家能够利用复杂且复杂的蛋白质质谱和蛋白质组学，否则他们将无法使用这些技术，并保证他们能够获得该技术。拟议的神经科学蛋白质质谱核心设施将使纽约大学的 NINDS 和其他 NIH 资助的神经科学家能够鉴定一种到数百种感兴趣的蛋白质，表征这些蛋白质的翻译后修饰，如磷酸化、糖基化、蛋白水解和脂质修饰，进行功能蛋白质组学研究以鉴定参与关键信号的蛋白质 神经元中的转导过程，并通过表面等离子体共振表征蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用。将从该核心设施中受益匪浅的研究领域包括神经生长和再生、神经肌肉接头形成、癌症转移、淀粉样变性和脑出血性中风、轴突引导、轴突结构域组装、病变诱导的突触可塑性、钾通道功能、阿尔茨海默病和其他淀粉样蛋白疾病、大脑发育、阿片类药物成瘾、衰老和 神经递质受体贩运。
