项目摘要
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): For genes encoding proteins that are required for organismal or cell viability, an inability to generate and examine loss-of-function mutant phenotypes can be an impediment to elucidating protein function. Homozygous mutant individuals may die at an early stage in development, making it difficult to establish the differen roles that the relevant proteins play at later stages of development. Tissue-specific generation of
homozygous mutant clones, or expression of dsRNA, can in some cases overcome this limitation. However, these strategies are subject to the problem of protein perdurance beyond the time at which gene expression ceases, which can complicate analyses in which rapid elimination of gene function is required. Temperature-sensitive (ts) mutations provide an alternative means of conditionally eliminating gene product function. However, ts mutants are laborious to isolate and cannot be applied to the study of protein function in homeothermic organisms such as mammals. The objective of the investigations described in this proposal is the development of a general method for rapid, spatially- and temporally-controlled light-induced elimination of proteins of interest for phenotypic analysis. Two specific aims will be pursued to develop and test two distinct experimental methods to achieve protein elimination. Specific Aim 1 will utilize a small protein tag that we refer to as the photodegron, which can be expressed as a genetic fusion to other proteins. The photodegron undergoes a light-dependent conformational change that exposes a degradation signal recognized by a ubiquitous class of ubiquitin ligases, the N-recognins. In preliminary studies carried out in yeast, the photodegron mediated light-dependent elimination of function of the heterologous proteins to which it was attached. Continuing work will examine the kinetics of photodegron-induced degradation in yeast and test the ability of the photodegron to direct protein degradation in Drosophila embryos. Additional studies will increase the versatility of the photodegron method by incorporating a signal that targets it for degradation via the Nedd4 family of ubiquitin ligases. The investigations in Specifi Aim 2 will pursue a second strategy to achieve light- induced protein degradation in vivo by making use of the light-dependent interaction between the Arabidopsis thaliana proteins Cryptochrome 2 (CRY2) and CIB1. Planned experiments will test the ability of CRY2-ubiquitin ligase fusion proteins to mediate the degradation of proteins fused to CIB1 in Drosophila embryos. Based on recent advances in the understanding of light-responsive proteins and of ubiquitin/proteasome-mediated protein degradation, we hypothesize that it will be possible to use the sophisticated genetics of yeast and Drosophila to develop facile experimental strategies for rapid, temporally- and spatially-controlled protein elimination. These methods will overcome several limitations associated with currently available strategies for generating protein loss-of-function phenotypes and will provide a powerful tool for the study of medically important proteins involved in a wide variety of biological questions and experimental organisms.
描述(由申请人提供):对于编码生物体或细胞活力所需蛋白质的基因,无法生成和检查功能丧失突变体表型可能会成为阐明蛋白质功能的障碍。纯合突变个体可能在发育的早期阶段死亡,因此很难确定相关蛋白质在发育后期发挥的不同作用。组织特异性生成
纯合突变克隆或 dsRNA 表达在某些情况下可以克服这一限制。然而,这些策略在基因表达停止后会遇到蛋白质持久性问题,这会使需要快速消除基因功能的分析变得复杂。温度敏感(ts)突变提供了一种有条件消除基因产物功能的替代方法。然而,ts突变体分离起来很费力,不能应用于哺乳动物等恒温生物的蛋白质功能研究。本提案中描述的研究目的是开发一种通用方法,用于快速、空间和时间控制的光诱导消除表型分析所需的蛋白质。将追求两个具体目标来开发和测试两种不同的实验方法以实现蛋白质消除。具体目标 1 将利用一个小的蛋白质标签,我们称之为光降解子,它可以表达为与其他蛋白质的基因融合。光降解子经历光依赖性构象变化,暴露出由一类普遍存在的泛素连接酶(N-识别蛋白)识别的降解信号。在酵母中进行的初步研究中,光降解素介导光依赖性消除其所附着的异源蛋白质的功能。后续工作将检查酵母中光降解素诱导的降解动力学,并测试光降解素指导果蝇胚胎中蛋白质降解的能力。其他研究将通过纳入通过 Nedd4 泛素连接酶家族进行降解的信号来增加 photodegron 方法的多功能性。 Specifi Aim 2 中的研究将采用第二种策略,通过利用拟南芥蛋白隐花色素 2 (CRY2) 和 CIB1 之间的光依赖性相互作用来实现体内光诱导的蛋白质降解。计划中的实验将测试 CRY2-泛素连接酶融合蛋白介导果蝇胚胎中与 CIB1 融合的蛋白质降解的能力。基于对光响应蛋白和泛素/蛋白酶体介导的蛋白质降解的理解的最新进展,我们假设可以利用酵母和果蝇的复杂遗传学来开发快速、时间和空间控制的蛋白质消除的简便实验策略。这些方法将克服与目前可用的产生蛋白质功能丧失表型的策略相关的一些限制,并将为研究涉及各种生物学问题和实验生物体的医学上重要的蛋白质提供强大的工具。
