DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Inhibition of protein synthesis is a general measurement of toxicity. Evolutionarily while inhibition of protein synthesis serves to save energy and prevents aberrant proteins being made, increasing evidence suggests that selective protein translation occurs and determines the cell fate. Arsenic and many environmental toxicants are known to induce oxidative stress. We found that treatment of human cells in culture with arsenic or oxidants causes rapid elevation Nrf2 protein due to de novo protein translation. Nrf2 encodes a transcription factor regulating a network of antioxidant and detoxification genes, functioning as a safeguard in multiple organ systems. Nrf2 knockout mice show an increased sensitivity to tissue injury by arsenic. Understanding how cells orchestrate molecular events leading to de novo Nrf2 protein translation under oxidative stress is important for dialing up this pathway for organ protection. Human Nrf2 gene encodes an mRNA species containing 555 nucleotides (nt) of 5' Untranslated Region (5'UTR). Several genes containing an Internal Ribosomal Entry Site (IRES) in 5'UTR can bypass 5' 7-methyl Guanine cap dependent translation and undergo stress induced protein translation. We found a consensus G-quadruplex sequence in -195 to - 168 nucleotide region of Nrf2 5'UTR. An RNA fragment from the region forms the 3-D structure of G-quadruplex as measured by Circular Dichroism (CD), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay and Dimethyl Sulfate footprinting. LC-MS/MS based proteomics has led to the discovery of EF1a as a binding partner of Nrf2 5'UTR G-quadruplex. At the cellular level, oxidants cause an increased association of EF1a with Nrf2 5'UTR G-quadruplex and eliminating the G- quadruplex structure prohibited the activation of Nrf2 5'UTR. Since an RNA strand in cells is rarely free of protein binding, the G-quadruplex structure forms in solution from a naked RNA fragment, and oxidation of Guanine does not affect G-quadruplex formation, we hypothesize that oxidative stress causes changes in the proteins binding to Nrf2 5'UTR at the cellular level, resulting in G-quadruplex formation and recruitment of specific proteins for interaction with eIFs to initiate Nrf2 protein translation. Ai 1 will define the impact of oxidative stress on proteins binding to Nrf2 5'UTR at the cellular level. Proteins binding to Nrf2 5'UTR will be isolated from cells with or without oxidative stress for identification by LC-MS/MS based proteomics. Aim 2 will address the interplay of EF1a with translational machinery in oxidative stress induced Nrf2 protein translation. Whether EF1a binding to Nrf2 5'UTR causes recruitment of translational machinery will be addressed by examining the interaction of EF1a/Nrf2 mRNA with eIFs, ribosomes and ribosome associated proteins. Aim 3 will confirm the biological significance of EF1a interaction with Nrf2 5'UTR in Nrf2 protein translation, cell survival and protection against arsenic toxicity. Using a G-quadruplex aptamer and pharmacological enhancers or inhibitors of G-quadruplex, we will test the effect of de novo Nrf2 protein translation in cell survival and mouse tissue injury by arsenic.

描述（由申请方提供）：蛋白质合成抑制是毒性的一般测量。在进化上，虽然抑制蛋白质合成有助于节省能量并防止异常蛋白质的产生，但越来越多的证据表明，选择性蛋白质翻译发生并决定细胞命运。已知砷和许多环境毒物可诱导氧化应激。我们发现，用砷或氧化剂处理培养的人类细胞，由于从头蛋白翻译，导致Nrf 2蛋白快速升高。nrf 2编码一种转录因子，调节抗氧化和解毒基因网络，在多器官系统中起保护作用。nrf 2基因敲除小鼠对砷引起的组织损伤的敏感性增加。了解细胞如何在氧化应激下协调导致从头Nrf 2蛋白翻译的分子事件，对于打通这一途径以保护器官非常重要。人Nrf 2基因5'非翻译区（5' UTR）编码555个核苷酸的mRNA。在5 'UTR中含有内部核糖体进入位点（IRES）的几个基因可以绕过5' 7-甲基鸟嘌呤帽依赖性翻译并经历应激诱导的蛋白质翻译。我们在Nrf 2基因5 '非编码区的-195 ~-168核苷酸区域发现了一个G-四链体序列。来自该区域的RNA片段形成G-四链体的3-D结构，如通过圆二色性（CD）、核磁共振（NMR）、电泳迁移率变动测定和硫酸二甲酯足迹法所测量的。基于LC-MS/MS的蛋白质组学已经发现EF 1a作为Nrf 2 5 'UTR G-四链体的结合伴侣。在细胞水平上，氧化剂导致EF 1a与Nrf 2 5 'UTR G-四链体的缔合增加，并且消除G-四链体结构抑制了Nrf 2 5' UTR的活化。由于细胞中的RNA链很少不与蛋白质结合，G-四链体结构在溶液中由裸RNA片段形成，并且鸟嘌呤的氧化不影响G-四链体的形成，我们假设氧化应激导致在细胞水平上与Nrf 2 5 'UTR结合的蛋白质的变化，导致G-四链体形成和募集特异性蛋白质与eIF相互作用以启动Nrf 2蛋白翻译。Ai 1将在细胞水平上定义氧化应激对与Nrf 2 5 'UTR结合的蛋白质的影响。 将从存在或不存在氧化应激的细胞中分离与Nrf 2 5 'UTR结合的蛋白质，以通过基于LC-MS/MS的蛋白质组学进行鉴定。目的2将阐明EF 1a与氧化应激诱导的Nrf 2蛋白翻译中翻译机制的相互作用。EF 1a与Nrf 2 5 'UTR的结合是否会引起翻译机制的募集，将通过检查EF 1a/Nrf 2 mRNA与eIFs、核糖体和核糖体相关蛋白的相互作用来解决。目的3证实EF 1a与Nrf 2 5 'UTR相互作用在Nrf 2蛋白翻译、细胞存活和抗砷毒性中的生物学意义。使用G-四链体适体和G-四链体的药理学增强剂或抑制剂，我们将测试从头Nrf 2蛋白翻译对细胞存活和砷对小鼠组织损伤的影响。
