项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term goal of this project is to develop a versatile tool to deplete specific proteins from the cytosol and nucleus of eukaryotic cells rapidl and effectively. The project will test the feasibility of a strategy based on proteasome adaptors, which we call degradons, built on a recombinant antibody platform. The proteasome adaptors or degradons will target proteins for destruction by the cellular Ubiquitin-Proteasome-System (UPS). Degradons should be useful as a research tool by allowing the researcher to remove specific proteins from cells to determine their function. They could also serve as a therapeutic approach to deplete toxic proteins such as oncogene products from cells. Degradons represents a new strategy to control cellular protein concentrations that is complementary to RNAi technology and could be used independently or in combination with RNAi approaches. Where RNAi interferes with protein synthesis, degradons induce protein destruction. Thus, degradons are not limited by natural protein turnover rates and can be specific for post-translationally modified forms of proteins. Degradon design builds on the detailed mechanistic understanding of proteasome biochemistry that has been developed over the past ten years and the maturation of experimental strategies to develop high affinity and specificity interaction agents, most importantly antibody technology. The degradon strategy is inspired by natural components of the UPS, the UbL-UBA proteins that serve as substrate adaptors, as well as viral proteins and oncogenes that act by subverting the UPS to purge tumor suppressor proteins from cells. Degradons will consist of two interaction domains, a proteasome binding domain derived from natural substrate receptors, viral proteins or oncogenes, and a target recognition domain, mostly derived from a recombinant antibody reagent. The two domains will be linked by a flexible, degradation-resistant arm. Degradons will position the bound target optimally for destruction but themselves escapes proteolysis to act catalytically. Degradons will be delivered to cells using methods developed for antibody-based drugs. We will test degradon design on three target proteins representing major classes of regulatory proteins and important oncogens. They are the kinase Bcr-Abl, the transcription factor Myc, and the ubiquitin ligase Mdm2, which controls p53 concentrations. Sets of systematically engineered adaptors will first be characterized biochemically in an in vitro degradation system and the best designs will then be optimized in mammalian culture cells and cancer cell lines. Degradons will be tested by themselves in comparison to RNAi and combination of RNAi and degradons will explore synergistic effects between both methods of protein depletion. Finally, delivery of degradons as a protein drug by receptor-mediated uptake will be tested. If degradons show promise as a protein depletion agent, future experiments will test their effectiveness in primary cell cultures and animal models.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目的长期目标是开发一种多功能工具来快速有效地消耗真核细胞胞浆和细胞核中的特定蛋白质。该项目将测试基于蛋白酶体适配器（我们称之为降解子）的策略的可行性，该适配器建立在重组抗体平台上。蛋白酶体接头或降解子将靶向蛋白质，以便被细胞泛素蛋白酶体系统 (UPS) 破坏。降解子应该作为一种有用的研究工具，允许研究人员从细胞中去除特定的蛋白质以确定其功能。它们还可以作为一种治疗方法来消除有毒蛋白质，例如细胞中的癌基因产物。 Degradons 代表了一种控制细胞蛋白质浓度的新策略，它与 RNAi 技术互补，可以单独使用或与 RNAi 方法结合使用。当 RNAi 干扰蛋白质合成时，降解子会诱导蛋白质破坏。因此，降解子不受天然蛋白质周转率的限制，并且可以特异性针对翻译后修饰形式的蛋白质。 Degradon 设计建立在过去十年中对蛋白酶体生物化学的详细机制理解以及开发高亲和力和特异性相互作用剂（最重要的是抗体技术）的实验策略的成熟基础上。降解子策略的灵感来自于 UPS 的天然成分、充当底物接头的 UbL-UBA 蛋白，以及通过破坏 UPS 从细胞中清除肿瘤抑制蛋白的病毒蛋白和癌基因。降解子将由两个相互作用结构域组成，一个源自天然底物受体、病毒蛋白或癌基因的蛋白酶体结合结构域，以及一个主要源自重组抗体试剂的靶标识别结构域。这两个域将通过一个灵活的、抗降解的臂连接起来。降解子会将结合的靶标定位在最佳位置以进行破坏，但它们本身会逃避蛋白水解而发挥催化作用。降解子将使用为抗体药物开发的方法递送至细胞。我们将测试代表主要类别的调节蛋白和重要致癌物的三种靶蛋白的降解子设计。它们是激酶 Bcr-Abl、转录因子 Myc 和控制 p53 浓度的泛素连接酶 Mdm2。系统工程化的接头组将首先在体外降解系统中进行生化表征，然后在哺乳动物培养细胞和癌细胞系中优化最佳设计。降解子将通过与 RNAi 的比较进行测试，并且 RNAi 和降解子的组合将探索两种蛋白质消耗方法之间的协同效应。最后，将测试通过受体介导的摄取将降解子作为蛋白质药物的递送。如果降解子显示出作为蛋白质消耗剂的前景，未来的实验将测试它们在原代细胞培养物和动物模型中的有效性。
