项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): How proteins regulate themselves is a fundamental question in biology. Regulation of protein activity drives cell division, metabolism, signal transduction, and therapeutic intervention. The most common and versatile regulatory proteins are allosteric proteins. Allosteric proteins are distinguished by their capacity to respond to ligand binding or chemical modification at one site, and alter ligand binding or activity at a distal site. Although many allosteric proteins have been characterized structurally, and models of allostery exist, most of the details of how allosteric transitions proceed remain unknown. The long-range goal of this research is to experimentally reveal the time-resolved structural processes that constitute allosteric function. Central to the approach to be taken is the idea that proteins are highly dynamic, especially allosteric proteins, and that dynamic motions are an essential component of allosteric conformational change. Classical oligomeric allosteric proteins are too large for in-depth studies of site-specific dynamics by NMR. Therefore, the monomeric, 14 kDa bacterial response regulator CheY protein will be used as a model allosteric domain. CheY is a chemotaxis signal transduction protein that, upon phosphorylation at Asp-57, undergoes a conformational change at a distal surface that modulates binding to the flagellar motor. The ps-ns and ¿s-ms timescale dynamics of CheY will be extensively characterized in the absence and presence of phosphoryl group mimic, BeF3-, using NMR relaxation methods. In separate experiments, long-range thermodynamic couplings will be mapped using high-throughput methodology. Because, recently, long-range communication has been observed in proteins that are not functionally allosteric, mechanisms similar to those in allosteric proteins may exist in non-allosteric proteins, albeit to a lesser extent. The serine protease inhibitor eglin c is a good example of this: conservative mutations in eglin c lead to long-range dynamic effects in the absence of structural change. In the proposed research, four Specific Aims fall into two main thrusts. In the first thrust, patterns of long-range coupling (or "communication") - both dynamic and thermodynamic - will be compared between the non-allosteric eglin c and the allosteric CheY. These comparisons will shed light on any basic differences in coupling networks between allosteric and non-allosteric proteins; they will also provide a test of the role of dynamics in mediating thermodynamic coupling. In the second thrust, the mechanism of intramolecular signal transduction in CheY will be investigated from an NMR dynamics perspective, using CheY's various biological states and mutations that modulate its activity. Overall, by increasing understanding of the biophysical properties and role of dynamics in allostery, this research will help to lay the foundation for the rational design of allosteric proteins and drugs. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Allosteric conformational change in proteins lies at the heart of regulatory processes such as cell division, metabolism, signal transduction, and drug action. This research seeks to understand the dynamic underpinnings of allostery by experimentally contrasting motional dynamics in non-allosteric and allosteric proteins. The small bacterial signal transduction protein CheY will serve as a model allosteric domain. A detailed understanding of allosteric mechanisms will be needed to rationally design proteins and drugs that take advantage of allosteric principles, as well as understand mechanisms of drug resistance.
描述(由申请人提供):蛋白质如何自我调节是生物学中的一个基本问题。蛋白质活性的调节驱动细胞分裂、新陈代谢、信号转导和治疗干预。最常见和最通用的调节蛋白是变构蛋白。变构蛋白的特点是其能够对一个位点的配体结合或化学修饰作出反应,并改变远端位点的配体结合或活性。尽管许多变构蛋白已在结构上得到表征,并且存在变构模型,但变构转变如何进行的大部分细节仍然​​未知。这项研究的长期目标是通过实验揭示构成变构功能的时间分辨结构过程。所采取方法的核心是蛋白质,尤其是变构蛋白质是高度动态的,并且动态运动是变构构象变化的重要组成部分。经典的寡聚变构蛋白太大,无法通过 NMR 深入研究位点特异性动力学。因此,单体 14 kDa 细菌反应调节剂 CheY 蛋白将用作模型变构域。 CheY 是一种趋化信号转导蛋白,在 Asp-57 磷酸化后,其远端表面发生构象变化,从而调节与鞭毛运动的结合。 CheY 的 ps-ns 和 ¿s-ms 时间尺度动力学将使用 NMR 弛豫方法在磷酰基模拟物 BeF3- 不存在和存在的情况下进行广泛表征。在单独的实验中,将使用高通量方法绘制远程热力学耦合。因为最近在非功能性变构蛋白中观察到长程通讯,所以非变构蛋白中可能存在与变构蛋白类似的机制,尽管程度较小。丝氨酸蛋白酶抑制剂eglin c 就是一个很好的例子:eglin c 的保守突变在没有结构变化的情况下会导致长期动态效应。在拟议的研究中,四个具体目标分为两个主要方向。在第一个推力中,将比较非变构eglin c 和变构CheY 之间的远程耦合(或“通信”)模式(动态和热力学)。这些比较将揭示变构蛋白和非变构蛋白之间耦合网络的基本差异;他们还将测试动力学在调节热力学耦合中的作用。在第二个重点中,将从 NMR 动力学角度研究 CheY 的分子内信号转导机制,利用 CheY 的各种生物状态和调节其活性的突变。总的来说,通过加深对生物物理特性和动力学在变构中的作用的理解,这项研究将有助于为变构蛋白和药物的合理设计奠定基础。公共健康相关性:蛋白质的变构构象变化是细胞分裂、新陈代谢、信号转导和药物作用等调节过程的核心。这项研究旨在通过实验对比非变构蛋白和变构蛋白的运动动力学来了解变构的动态基础。小细菌信号转导蛋白 CheY 将作为模型变构结构域。需要详细了解变构机制,以合理设计利用变构原理的蛋白质和药物,并了解耐药机制。
