项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The mammalian sirtuins (SIRT1-7) are NAD+-dependent deacetylase enzymes that regulate adaptations of cells to nutrient availability and are linked to the life-extending and health-providing benefits of low calorie diets. The distinct sirtuins play different roles in regulating cell physiology, and distinct isoforms play roles that depend on tissue. These enzymes regulate numerous processes important for adaptation to low calorie diets including: adipogenesis, adipolysis, mitochondrial biogenesis, insulin secretion, fatty acid oxidation and stress resistance. Importantly, sirtuins are generally upregulated in cell by low calorie conditions. The mechanisms by which sirtuins achieve their functions are still poorly understood although it is apparent that their catalytic activity, abundance and localization within cells are crucial to their biological functions. For example, sirtuins are naturally compartmentalized; SIRT1, SIRT6 and SIRT7 are nuclear, whereas SIRT3, SIRT4 and SIRT5 are mitochondrial. SIRT2 is cytosolic. In response to various physiologic conditions, sirtuins relocalize in cells to cause changes in cell biology. There are currently no tools that can define in a simultaneous way, catalytic activity, abundance and localization of sirtuins in cells. The development of such tools is highly challenging, but would certainly provide a powerful new approach to studying sirtuins if they could be developed. This grant proposal addresses that need by presenting a plan to develop isoform-specific probes for sirtuins that can be used to visualize activity, abundance and localization using click chemistry and optical microscopy methods. Prior work has established that small peptides containing thioacetyllysine residues are excellent general inhibitors of sirtuins. This inhibition uses the enzyme mechanism. These thiopeptides, if appropriately modified with alkynyl groups or other "clickable" groups, form stable thioimidate conjugates on sirtuins that can be crosslinked to other moieties by "click chemistry". We have demonstrated that examples of these clickable thioacetyllysine peptides are cell permeable and form stable complexes to sirtuins in cells. By known methods, the conjugates formed on sirtuin active sites in cells are proposed to be clicked to dyes, thus allowing visualization of intracellular sirtuin activity, abundance and localization. To accomplish these goals we provide the following specific aims: 1) We propose to develop a set of isoform specific clickable cell permeable thioacetyllysine tripeptides that can be used to image sirtuins i cells. 2) We propose to develop live cell imaging using isoform-specific thioacetyllysine derivatives that can be used to visualize the dynamic activities of sirtuin isoforms in cells. We will use these tools to address several biological questions of high significance to the sirtuin field. With accomplishment of the aims, researchers will be empowered to track sirtuin activities with unprecedented specificity, to determine location, abundance and activity in live cells. These tools are predicted to accelerate studies to elucidate how sirtuins provide adaptations that improve human health.

描述（由申请人提供）：哺乳动物sirtuins（SIRT 1 -7）是NAD+依赖性脱乙酰酶，可调节细胞对营养可用性的适应，并与低热量饮食的延长寿命和提供健康益处有关。不同的sirtuins在调节细胞生理学中发挥不同的作用，不同的亚型发挥的作用取决于组织。这些酶调节许多对适应低热量饮食重要的过程，包括：脂肪生成、脂肪分解、线粒体生物合成、胰岛素分泌、脂肪酸氧化和应激抗性。重要的是，沉默调节蛋白通常在低热量条件下在细胞中上调。尽管很明显sirtuins的催化活性、丰度和定位与其功能的实现有关，但其实现功能的机制仍然知之甚少。对细胞的生物学功能至关重要。例如，sirtuins是天然区室化的; SIRT 1，SIRT 6和SIRT 7是核，而SIRT 3，SIRT 4和SIRT 5是线粒体。SIRT 2是胞质的。响应于各种生理条件，sirtuins在细胞中重新定位以引起细胞生物学的变化。目前还没有工具可以同时定义细胞中sirtuins的催化活性、丰度和定位。开发这样的工具是非常具有挑战性的，但如果能够开发出来，肯定会为研究sirtuins提供一种强大的新方法。这项拨款提案通过提出一项计划来解决这一需求，该计划旨在开发sirtuins的异构体特异性探针，这些探针可用于使用点击化学和光学显微镜方法来可视化活性，丰度和定位。先前的工作已经确定，含有硫代乙酰基赖氨酸残基的小肽是沉默调节蛋白的优异的一般抑制剂。这种抑制使用酶机制。如果用炔基或其他“可点击”基团适当修饰，这些硫肽在沉默调节蛋白上形成稳定的硫代亚氨酸缀合物，其可以通过“点击化学”与其他部分交联。我们已经证明，这些可点击的硫代乙酰基赖氨酸肽的实例是细胞可渗透的，并在细胞中与沉默调节蛋白形成稳定的复合物。通过已知的方法，提出将在细胞中的沉默调节蛋白活性位点上形成的缀合物点击成染料，从而允许细胞内沉默调节蛋白活性、丰度和定位的可视化。完成这些目标我们提供了以下具体目的：1）我们提出开发一组同种型特异性的可点击的细胞可渗透的硫代乙酰赖氨酸三肽，其可用于使sirtuins i细胞成像。2)我们建议开发活细胞成像使用异构体特异性硫代乙酰赖氨酸衍生物，可用于可视化的动态活动的sirtuin异构体在细胞中。我们将使用这些工具来解决几个对sirtuin领域具有重要意义的生物学问题。随着目标的实现，研究人员将能够以前所未有的特异性跟踪sirtuin活动，以确定活细胞中的位置，丰度和活性。预计这些工具将加速研究，以阐明sirtuins如何提供改善人类健康的适应性。
