项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Influenza drugs are few in number, and novel strains of the virus are resistant to many existing drugs. Thus, new drug targets are desperately needed. Influenza virus depends on cell membrane organization for entry through hemagglutinin-mediated fusion, and for assembly of viral components such as hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) before budding. Cell membrane organization depends on cholesterol-rich membrane domains called "rafts," with which HA is associated, but the structure of these domains has been difficult to image directly because of the limits of light and electron microscopy for live cell imaging at nanometer resolution. Preliminary results show that HA clustering depends both on cholesterol and cortical actin, both of which are known to mediate cell membrane organization. We hypothesize that HA and NA clustering depend on cholesterol and cortical actin, and we will test this hypothesis using a novel super- resolution microscopy technique called fluorescence photoactivation localization microscopy (FPALM), developed in the Hess lab in 2006. FPALM will allow us to image individual molecules of HA or NA and actin cytoskeletal components, including actin- binding adaptor proteins, in living cells at physiological temperature, with resolution in the 10-40 nanometer range. Along with actin and tubulin, the candidate adaptor proteins were found in purified influenza virus as observed by mass spectroscopy. We will also test the hypothesis that HA and NA membrane clustering is mediated by interactions with one or more of these adaptor proteins. Finally, since the membrane organization of "rafts" is dependent on cholesterol and the cytoskeleton, we will test the hypothesis that drugs which reduce cell cholesterol and disrupt the actin cytoskeleton will affect HA and NA membrane clustering. The observation of a significant response to such drugs would constitute a major opportunity for development of a new class of drugs against influenza. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Cell membrane cholesterol and the cytoskeleton affect influenza membrane protein clustering needed for infection, so drugs which alter cholesterol and the cytoskeleton are good candidates as anti-viral therapies. We will use super-resolution fluorescence microscopy to test for interactions between viral components and the cytoskeleton, and to test the effects of these drugs on the assembly of viral components into membrane clusters. Drugs identified to have effects on viral protein clustering could be used as anti- viral therapies to reduce the spread of new strains of influenza and other viruses.

描述（由申请人提供）：流感药物的数量很少，病毒的新型菌株对许多现有药物具有抗药性。因此，迫切需要新的药物靶标。流感病毒取决于细胞膜组织通过血凝素介导的融合进入，以及在萌芽前组装病毒成分（例如Hemagglutinin（ha）和Nauraminidase（Na））。细胞膜组织取决于称为“筏”的富含胆固醇的膜结构域，与HA相关，但是由于光和电子显微镜在纳米分辨率下进行活细胞成像的限制，这些结构域的结构很难直接成像。初步结果表明，HA聚类均取决于胆固醇和皮质肌动蛋白，这两者都介导细胞膜组织。 We hypothesize that HA and NA clustering depend on cholesterol and cortical actin, and we will test this hypothesis using a novel super- resolution microscopy technique called fluorescence photoactivation localization microscopy (FPALM), developed in the Hess lab in 2006. FPALM will allow us to image individual molecules of HA or NA and actin cytoskeletal components, including actin- binding adaptor蛋白质，在生理温度下活细胞中，分辨率在10-40纳米范围内。通过质谱观察到，与肌动蛋白和微管蛋白一起，在纯化的流感病毒中发现了候选衔接蛋白。我们还将检验以下假设：HA和NA膜聚类是通过与其中一种或多种衔接子蛋白相互作用介导的。最后，由于“筏子”的膜组织取决于胆固醇和细胞骨架，我们将测试以下假设：减少细胞胆固醇并破坏肌动蛋白细胞骨架的药物会影响HA和Na膜簇。对这种药物的重大反应的观察将构成开发针对流感的新药物的主要机会。公共卫生相关性：细胞膜胆固醇和细胞骨架影响感染所需的流感膜蛋白聚类，因此改变胆固醇和细胞骨架的药物是抗病毒疗法的良好候选者。我们将使用超分辨率荧光显微镜测试病毒成分与细胞骨架之间的相互作用，并测试这些药物对病毒成分组装到膜簇中的影响。确定对病毒蛋白聚类有影响的药物可以用作抗病毒疗法，以减少流感和其他病毒的新菌株的传播。
