项目摘要

Project Summary/Abstract Mendelian variation in pigmentation is a rich genetic resource to identify and study signaling pathways relevant to human biology, but the repertoire of mutations that affect pigmentation in mice and in humans coat color has become saturated. Advances in genome sequencing technology now extend the reach of forward genetics beyond humans and model organisms to domestic and wild animals, for which there are many pigmentary phenotypes likely to represent conserved signaling pathways but whose molecular basis is unknown. Using pigmentary variation in domestic cats, our research group discovered a striking connection between a novel transmembrane protease encoded by Transmembrane aminopeptidase Q (Taqpep) and a secreted Wnt inhibitor encoded by Dickkopf 4 (Dkk4). Initial studies of Taqpep knockout mice reveal a role in multiple cell types and tissues including hair, the enteric nervous system, and the palate. In a different non-model organism, the plains zebra, Taqpep is a candidate gene for aberrant striping in an isolated population in Rwanda. Our results point to a central role for Taqpep in pathways and tissues that are directly relevant to human biology and disease, but a molecular understanding of those pathways is most effectively approached by combining forward genetics for gene discovery in non-model mammalian organisms with experimental genetics in laboratory mice and studies in cultured mammalian cells. We propose to: (1) Identify additional components of Taqpep action by forward genetics in Bengal cats and by analysis of fetal cat skin (2) Expand initial genetic studies of color pattern variation in zebras (3) Determine the mechanism of Taqpep action using experimental mouse genetics and proteomics
项目总结/摘要 孟德尔遗传变异是识别和研究色素沉着相关信号通路的丰富遗传资源 但是,影响小鼠和人类毛色色素沉着的突变库, 变得饱和。基因组测序技术的进步现在扩展了正向遗传学的范围 除了人类和模式生物,还有家养和野生动物, 表型可能代表保守的信号通路,但其分子基础是未知的。 利用家猫的色素变异,我们的研究小组发现了一个惊人的联系, 由跨膜氨肽酶Q(Taqpep)编码的新的跨膜蛋白酶和分泌的Wnt 由Dickkopf 4(Dkk 4)编码的抑制剂。Taqpep基因敲除小鼠的初步研究揭示了多细胞 类型和组织,包括毛发、肠神经系统和腭。在不同的非模式生物中, 对于平原斑马,Taqpep是卢旺达一个孤立种群中异常条纹的候选基因。 我们的研究结果表明Taqpep在与人类直接相关的途径和组织中起着核心作用。 生物学和疾病,但对这些途径的分子理解是最有效的方法, 将用于在非模式哺乳动物生物体中发现基因的正向遗传学与实验遗传学相结合 在实验室小鼠和培养的哺乳动物细胞中的研究。我们建议: (1)通过孟加拉猫的正向遗传学和胎儿分析鉴定Taqpep作用的其他组分 猫皮 (2)扩大斑马颜色模式变异的初步遗传研究 (3)使用实验小鼠遗传学和蛋白质组学确定Taqpep的作用机制
