DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Natural mutations in humans and introduced mutations in mice have unequivocally demonstrated the importance of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) for the control of tuberculosis (TB). How this cytokine exerts its protective effects is thought to owe much to the broad transcriptional programs it activates within Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mto)-infected macrophages and dendritic cells. Here as many as 1,300 genes may be engaged. Prominent within this group is a new family of 47kDa guanosine 5'-triphosphatases (p47 GTPases) that confers host resistance to a number of human pathogens. At least one member of this family - LRG-47 - appears essential for combating TB in experimental mouse models. Preliminary evidence suggests that LRG-47 operates at the level of the infected cell via a mechanism distinct from all known tuberculocidal pathways, linking cytokine activation with phagolysomal fusion, events that are required for bacterial killing and which may enable Mtb antigens to be cross-presented. It is the purpose of this proposal to build on these initial observations by pursuing the following aims: (1) Characterize the intracellular location and trafficking behavior of mouse and human LRG-47 within Mtb-infected cells. Here a combination of high-resolution imaging and cell fractionation will be used to identify the LRG-47-positive compartment(s) and its recruitment to the nascent Mtb phagosome. (2) Define the molecular determinants of LRG-47 function in response to Mtb. Relocation of LRG-47 to the Mtb phagosome and subsequent remodeling of this organelle is likely to enlist other host proteins. Isolating LRG-47-interacting partners, the functional domains involved and their consequences for immunity will be dissected with an array of molecular, cellular and structural approaches. (3) Uncover Mtb-encoded pathways that counter LRG-47 - dependent immunity. Genetic screens conducted to identify bacterial components interfering with LRG-47 should yield further insights into how this GTPase operates. It could also uncover prospective drug targets. Information gleaned from these approaches will provide a paradigm for other members of the p47 GTPase family that is rapidly emerging as one of the most powerful host defense repertoires in the mammalian genome.

描述（由申请人提供）：人类的自然突变和小鼠的引入突变明确证明了干扰素- γ (ifn - γ)对控制结核病（TB）的重要性。这种细胞因子如何发挥其保护作用被认为在很大程度上归功于它在结核分枝杆菌（Mto）感染的巨噬细胞和树突状细胞中激活的广泛转录程序。这里可能有多达1300个基因参与其中。在这个群体中突出的是一个47kDa鸟苷5'-三磷酸酶（p47 GTPases）的新家族，它赋予宿主对许多人类病原体的抗性。在实验小鼠模型中，该家族中至少有一个成员LRG-47似乎对对抗结核病至关重要。初步证据表明，LRG-47在感染细胞水平上通过一种不同于所有已知结核途径的机制起作用，将细胞因子激活与吞噬体融合联系起来，这是杀死细菌所需的事件，并可能使结核分枝杆菌抗原交叉呈递。本提案的目的是通过追求以下目标来建立这些初步观察：(1)表征小鼠和人LRG-47在mtb感染细胞内的细胞内定位和运输行为。本研究将采用高分辨率成像和细胞分离相结合的方法来鉴定lrg -47阳性区室及其对新生结核吞噬体的招募。(2)明确LRG-47在Mtb应答中功能的分子决定因素。LRG-47重新定位到Mtb吞噬小体并随后对该细胞器进行重塑可能会招募其他宿主蛋白。分离lrg -47相互作用伙伴，所涉及的功能域及其对免疫的影响将通过一系列分子，细胞和结构方法进行剖析。(3)揭示对抗LRG-47依赖性免疫的mmb编码通路。通过基因筛选来鉴定干扰LRG-47的细菌成分，应该能进一步了解这种GTPase是如何运作的。它还可以发现潜在的药物靶点。从这些方法中收集到的信息将为p47 GTPase家族的其他成员提供一个范例，p47 GTPase家族正迅速成为哺乳动物基因组中最强大的宿主防御谱之一。
