This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. We are proposing cutting-edge structural studies that are broadly relevant to vascular biology and immune deficiency. We will pursue crystallographic investigations on prostacyclin (PS) and thromboxane synthases (TS) to better understand how vasodilator and vasoconstrictor biosynthesis is mediated in vascular endothelial cells. This study is also important for gaining a better understanding of how drugs like Vioxx¿ and Celebrex¿ diminish prostacyclin production. Furthermore PS is a target for minoxidil ? the active ingredient of Rogaine¿. We also plan to combine the structural information obtained from our studies on PS and TS with allene oxide synthase (AOS) to provide a holistic view of how heme proteins utilize endo- and hydroperoxide substrates. Furthermore, by interrogating the structure of CYP8B1 ?sterol 12alpha hydroxylase? we will be able to provide a molecular basis for how novel functions evolve from preexisting cytochromes P450 templates and also gain insights into gallstone formation. On the immunodeficiency front we will determine the structure of activation-induced deaminase (AID), its complexes with DNA and other proteins. We will also probe chemokine receptors that belong to the G-protein couple receptor superfamily.

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 我们正在提出与血管生物学和免疫缺陷广泛相关的尖端结构研究。我们将继续对前列环素（PS）和血栓烷脱氢酶（TS）进行晶体学研究，以更好地了解血管内皮细胞中血管扩张剂和血管收缩剂的生物合成是如何介导的。 这项研究对于更好地了解万络和西乐葆等药物如何减少前列环素的产生也很重要。 此外，PS是米诺地尔的靶点？落建的活性成分。 我们还计划联合收割机从我们的研究获得的结构信息PS和TS与丙二烯氧化物合酶（AOS）提供一个整体的看法血红素蛋白如何利用内切和氢过氧化物底物。 此外，通过对CYP 8B 1？甾醇12 α羟化酶？我们将能够为细胞色素P450模板如何进化出新功能提供分子基础，并深入了解胆结石的形成。 在免疫缺陷方面，我们将确定激活诱导脱氨酶（AID）的结构，它与DNA和其他蛋白质的复合物。 我们还将探测属于G蛋白偶联受体超家族的趋化因子受体。
