项目摘要

Abstract Mitochondrial and synaptic dysfunction are early pathological features and a driving force of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. Aβ is found to accumulate abnormally in the brains of AD individuals and in an AD mouse models leading to mitochondrial Ca2+ overload and activation of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP). Prolonged opening of mPTP triggers outer mitochondrial membrane rupture, release of cytochrome c and activation of downstream cell death pathways. The mPTP has been at the center of extensive scientific research for the last several decades but it still remains as one of the most mysterious phenomena in biology today due to its controversial molecular composition and the lack of structural information of its pore. We have recently demonstrated the novel role of ATP synthase c-subunit ring in forming the channel of mPTP. Nevertheless, the gating mechanism of the ATP synthase c-subunit leak channel and conformational changes initiating its opening are yet to be discovered. In this proposal, we will use single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to identify the high- resolution structure and the open conformation of ATP synthase leak channel in the presence of channel modulators. We will also perform in situ structural analysis of ATP synthase in its functional environment within the Aβ-exposed primary hippocampal neurons and in mitochondria isolated from the mouse models of AD by using cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET). In this project we will also investigate the direct role of ATP synthase leak channel as a novel cell death pathway in AD pathogenesis; we will test whether the pharmacological inhibition of this channel will rescue neurons from Aβ-induced cell death. Successful completion of this proposal will reveal the molecular mechanism(s) of mitochondrial permeability transition, the atomic structure of ATP synthase leak channel, and will aid in the development of new treatments for AD, targeting ATP synthase.
