DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): At both cellular and extracellular levels, cardiovascular and other diseases are characterized by the dynamic remodeling of the phospholipid-rich surfaces of lipid-based structures, like lipoproteins and cell membranes. This remodeling involves the generation in the surface of lipid metabolites, termed lipid second messengers, exemplified by diacylglycerols. Studies of one lipase that generates these metabolites have shown that their presence is a key requirement for the lipase to translocate from the surrounding aqueous medium to the surface where it functions. Moreover, lipase translocation requires a level of these lipid second messengers that exceeds a critical value. Below this value diacylglycerols are complexed with surface phospholipids and translocation is inhibited. We hypothesize that this regulatory mechanism is essential to the functions of not only lipases but many other, structurally-unrelated proteins that are crucial to cellular homeostasis and disease processes. The goal of this project is to test that hypothesis by determining the extent to which and mechanism by which diacylglycerol regulates the translocation of surface-seeking, independent folding units of selected proteins, i.e. domains, to and from highly controlled model lipid surfaces. Aim 1 studies determine how preexisting distribution of diacylglycerol and other lipid species in the surface regulates the ability of a domain to translocate to the surface. Aim 2 studies determine how lateral interaction of the domain and diacylglycerol within the surface regulates the time it spends at the surface. Aim 3 studies determine how the presence of one domain of a multi-domain protein residing in a surface can interact with diacylglycerol to produce a "self-assembled receptor" for effecting the translocation of another surface-seeking domain of that protein. The protein domains are parts of apolipoprotein E, munc 13-1 and pancreatic lipase and serve as models for a range of other biologically important proteins that share their domain motifs. Enabling these studies to be carried out is new methodology and unique new instrumentation developed for this project. The completion of this project will provide better understanding of the mechanisms by which diacylglycerols regulate essential biological processes, like cholesterol clearance (apolipoprotein E) and nerve transmission (munc 13-1). Moreover, results are expected to suggest strategies for regulating other processes which depend critically on the lipid surface organization.

描述（由申请人提供）：在细胞和细胞外水平，心血管和其他疾病的特征在于基于脂质的结构（如脂蛋白和细胞膜）的富含磷脂表面的动态重塑。这种重塑涉及脂质代谢物表面的产生，称为脂质第二信使，例如二酰基甘油。对产生这些代谢物的一种脂肪酶的研究表明，它们的存在是脂肪酶从周围水性介质转移到其发挥功能的表面的关键要求。此外，脂肪酶易位需要这些脂质第二信使的水平超过临界值。低于此值，二酰基甘油与表面磷脂复合，易位受到抑制。我们假设，这种调节机制是必不可少的功能，不仅脂肪酶，但许多其他的，结构无关的蛋白质是至关重要的细胞内稳态和疾病的过程。该项目的目标是通过确定甘油二酯调节选定蛋白质的表面寻求、独立折叠单元（即结构域）往返于高度受控的模型脂质表面的移位的程度和机制来验证该假设。目的1研究确定如何预先存在的分布的甘油二酯和其他脂质物种的表面调节的能力域易位到表面。目的2研究确定结构域和表面内的甘油二酯的横向相互作用如何调节其在表面上花费的时间。目的3研究确定存在于表面的多结构域蛋白质的一个结构域如何与甘油二酯相互作用以产生“自组装受体”，用于影响该蛋白质的另一个表面寻求结构域的移位。蛋白质结构域是载脂蛋白E、munc 13-1和胰脂肪酶的一部分，并作为一系列其他生物学上重要的蛋白质的模型，这些蛋白质共享它们的结构域基序。使这些研究得以进行的是为该项目开发的新方法和独特的新仪器。这个项目的完成将提供更好的了解机制，其中二酰基甘油调节基本的生物过程，如胆固醇清除（载脂蛋白E）和神经传递（munc 13-1）。此外，结果预计将建议用于调节其他过程的策略，这些过程严重依赖于脂质表面组织。
