英文摘要
PROJECT SUMMARY
Every biological process, ranging from cell migration to embryogenesis and tissue morphogenesis, relies on a
cell’s ability to adapt to changing mechanical environments. While we understand many biochemical signaling
pathways involved, the mechanisms that are integrated to govern a cell’s response to mechanical forces
remain a mystery. Deciphering these interactions will shed light on the mechanical changes that drive both
normal and disease state processes. To reveal how the cell responds to various forces, the Robinson lab
studies Dictyostelium cytokinesis, a model shape change process by which one cell divides to form two
daughter cells. The lab has discovered that cytokinesis is driven by an integrated control system composed of
proteins that modulate their behavior in response to both mechanical and biochemical signals. Although we
know many of the players involved in the cytokinetic control system, their biochemical interactions that allow
force propagation through the cortical network are still unknown. My goal is to characterize the regulatory
mechanisms that characterize these interactions, which will be critical to elucidate the mechanisms of a cell’s
response to its mechanical environment. To identify the direct interactions that govern a cell’s mechanical
response, we performed immunoprecipitation followed by mass spectrometry on two key nodes of the
cytokinetic control system, the scaffolding protein IQGAP2 and the actin crosslinker cortexillin I. This approach
led to the discovery of potential binding partners of these nodes. Using a combination of Fluorescence Cross-
Correlation Spectroscopy (FCCS) and Single Molecule Pulldown (SiMPull), we have discovered a potential
mechanism of inhibition by a negative regulator of the system, IQGAP1. To further understand how IQGAP1
mediates inhibition, I will purify key cytoskeletal proteins and use quantitative biochemical approaches to
measure binding affinities and implement a chemically-inducible dimerization system to assess the inhibitory
activity of IQGAP1. In addition, I will use super-resolution imaging during both interphase and cytokinesis to
characterize alterations in complexes formed by these key cytoskeletal proteins that allow force transduction
through the network. Moreover, I will determine the cellular role of methylmalonate semialdehyde
dehydrogenase (mmsdh), which catalyzes the production of propionyl-coA. Mmsdh was identified as an
interactor of cortexillin I, but was also previously identified in a genetic selection in our lab. It is possible that
proteins may modified by propionylation, an underappreciated post-translational modification, which may
facilitate positive regulation of the cytokinetic control system. Through a combination of genetics, mass
spectrometry, and biophysical analyses, I will elucidate the cellular function of mmsdh. The work proposed
here will decipher the molecular mechanisms of positive and negative regulation of the contractile network.
This information will be critical for understanding the cell’s ability to sense and respond to mechanical forces,
yielding insight into both normal developmental processes, as well as disease state progression.
