项目摘要

In this project, we will dissect the roles of class I myosins, molecular motors that bind actin filaments through their motor domains and plasma membrane through their tail domains, in actin-mediated cell shape changes. We will test the hypothesis that myosin I motor activity promotes assembly of branched actin networks at the sites of membrane deformation, including endocytic vesicles, phagocytic cups, and podosomes. The proposed work will use two model systems: fission yeast, where myosin I is required for endocytosis, and murine macrophages, which rely on myosin I for phagocytosis and cell migration. In aim 1, we will determine how myosin motor activity contributes to endocytic actin patch assembly and internalization in yeast. We will use the genetically tractable yeast system to express mutant myosin from the endogenous myosin locus and apply molecule counting techniques, which are well established in the yeast endocytosis system, to measure the rates of actin assembly. In aim 2, we will test the role of myosin motor activity in actin and membrane dynamics during phagocytosis and cell migration. These studies will take advantage of the genetically modified mice lacking class I myosins that are available in our labs. In aim 3, we will determine how myosin-membrane interactions are regulated to contribute to myosin functions in actin assembly and immune response. The proposed work will shed light on the molecular mechanisms driving actin- dependent membrane deformation.

在这个项目中，我们将剖析I类肌球蛋白的作用，肌球蛋白是结合肌动蛋白的分子马达。细丝穿过它们的运动区，质膜穿过它们的尾区，在肌动蛋白介导的细胞形状改变。我们将检验肌球蛋白I运动活性的假设促进膜变形部位分支肌动蛋白网络的组装，包括内吞泡泡、吞噬杯和足体。拟议的工作将使用两个模型系统：分裂酵母，肌球蛋白I是内吞作用所必需的，以及小鼠巨噬细胞，它们依赖肌球蛋白I进行吞噬和细胞迁移。在目标1中，我们将确定如何肌球蛋白马达活性有助于酵母内吞肌动蛋白斑块的组装和内化。我们将使用遗传易处理的酵母系统来表达突变的肌球蛋白内源性肌球蛋白基因座和应用分子计数技术，这些都是公认的在酵母内吞系统中，测量肌动蛋白的组装速率。在目标2中，我们将测试肌球蛋白运动活性在肌动蛋白及吞噬和细胞膜动力学中的作用迁移。这些研究将利用缺乏第一类基因的转基因小鼠。我们实验室提供的肌球蛋白。在目标3中，我们将确定肌球蛋白膜如何相互作用被调节以促进肌球蛋白在肌动蛋白组装和免疫中的功能回应。拟议的工作将阐明驱动肌动蛋白的分子机制。依赖于膜的变形。
