项目总结:
在过去的几十年里,中国医学界也见证了中国的医疗卫生结构发生了显著的变化。
药物治疗从传统的小分子药物发展到生物大分子药物,尽管它们具有巨大的潜力。
成功的大分子药物治疗一直以来都是有限的,几乎完全是针对细胞外药物靶点,这是由于药物的作用。
重大的挑战是将他们可控的基因传递到细胞质中。他们需要克服这一关键的基因障碍。
随着大分子药物治疗范围的扩大,自然会出现自我递送的蛋白质治疗系统,例如。
肉毒杆菌和神经毒素(BoNTs)将提供一个非常有吸引力的解决方案。这些蛋白质和复合体可以识别胆碱能。
神经元、胆碱和胆碱能促进最活跃的红细胞膜毒素组分,也就是蛋白质水解酶进入细胞质。
在那里,它可以通过蛋白质分解来使负责膜和融合事件的主要细胞调节机制失活。
强效、高效、高效的水解酶是高度特异的催化剂,它们通常只能识别一个单一的底物。

英文摘要
PROJECT SUMMARY
Over the last few decades, the medical community has witnessed a remarkable shift in the composition of
pharmaceutical therapies from traditional small molecules to biomacromolecules. Despite their tremendous
success, macromolecular therapies have been limited almost exclusively to extracellular targets due to the
significant challenge of their controllable delivery into the cytoplasm. To overcome this critical barrier in
expanding the scope of macromolecuar therapy, naturally occurring self-deliverable protein systems such as the
Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) offer an attractive solution. These protein complexes recognize cholinergic
neurons, and promote the translocation of the active toxin component, the BoNT LC protease, into the cytosol
where it deactivates the cellular machinery responsible for membrane fusion events through proteolysis. While
potent, BoNT LC proteases are highly specific catalysts, and generally only recognize a single substrate. Efforts
to reprogram the activity of BoNT LC proteases have met with limited success, and the inaccessibility of new
intracellular targets for BoNT LC proteases remains the primary barrier in extending BoNT-derived therapeutic
strategies. Recently, phage assisted continuous evolution (PACE) has emerged as a powerful tool for the rapid
evolution of novel activity, and has been applied to the exploration of the mechanisms by which viral proteases
develop resistance to inhibitors, and to evolving new substrate activities in viral proteases. This work will extend
the PACE strategy to reprogram the BoNT F LC protease to cleave novel target sequences, and will be applied
to the intracellular proteolytic deactivation of the therapeutically relevant SNARE protein VAMP7. With this in
mind, the goals of this proposal are: (1) adapt the current protease PACE platform for use with BoNT LC
proteases and evolve a BoNT LC protease to selectively cleave the SNARE protein VAMP7;; (2) develop a PACE
negative selection and apply this selection to evolve BoNT LC proteases that cleave VAMP7 with high specificity;;
(3) characterize in depth the activity, specificity, and potential therapeutic relevance of the evolved proteases.
This work will provide a strong foundation upon which future catalytic intracellular protease therapies can be
based.
