英文摘要
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Historically Black Colleges and
Universities like Lincoln University are a major source of under represented
students graduating with science degrees . Successful candidates to graduate
and professional schools often have research experience obtained during their
undergraduate years. To increase the competitiveness of our undergraduate
students it is desirable to develop a competitive research program at Lincoln
University. Therefore, the PI is seeking the research experience described
below. This research will provide Lincoln students and PI with projects
involving physiology, endocrinology, and molecular biology. The research plan
focuses on characterization of a candidate mammalian plasma membrane vitamin D
receptor (pmVDR). The best described active vitamin D metabolite, 1,25(OH)2D3,
operates through nuclear receptor-mediated and plasma membrane- initiated
mechanisms that are pharmacologically separable. The identity of a nuclear
receptor is well documented, but the identity of an unequivocal membrane
receptor for 1,25(OH)2D3 remains unknown. A 66kD protein from chicken intestine
basal lateral membrane has been isolated by Nemere and colleagues and
identified as a candidate receptor. The PI and collaborator have identified a
candidate binding protein for the pmVDR whose N terminus is identical to that
of the 66kD protein. They hypothesize that this recently identified l pmVDR
participates in the generation of rapid responses in target cells to
1,25(OH)2D3. This application describes studies that will permit the evaluation
of various expression constructs and transfected cell lines for the development
of an optimal system for studying the physiology of the candidate pmVDR.
Specifically, they will measure differences in the levels of rapid responses to
1,25(OH)2D3 in transfected cells compared to nontransfected controls. They will
study tissue expression of the candidate pmVDR using various antibodies raised
against different lengths of the sequence and use bioinformatics to help
determine some of the proteins potential functions. These results might help
lead to the development of new bioactive sterols with improved therapeutic
potential and fewer side effects such as hypercalcemia.
