项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Transmembrane signaling plays a central role in all of biology, allowing cells to sense and respond to their environment. In humans, integral membrane receptors mediate the effects of hormones, neurotransmitters, cytokines, and a multitude of other signaling molecules. The PAQR receptors are a poorly characterized family of transmembrane receptors, found in organisms ranging from bacteria to humans. Recently, two PAQR receptors have attracted particular attention because they mediate the effects of a protein hormone called adiponectin. Adiponectin has been shown to induce profound insulin-sensitizing and cardioprotective effects in mouse models of diabetes and cardiovascular disease, but little is known regarding the molecular mechanisms of adiponectin signaling. To unravel the molecular details of adiponectin receptor signaling, we will pursue a combination of structural and biochemical studies of adiponectin and its receptors, with the long term goal of developing a detailed molecular understanding of signaling through the adiponectin receptors and broader PAQR family.

描述（由适用提供）：跨膜信号在所有生物学中都起着核心作用，使细胞能够感知并响应其环境。在人类中，整体膜受体介导了骑马，神经递质，细胞因子和许多其他信号分子的作用。 PAQR受体是一个跨膜受体的特征较差，在细菌到人类的生物体中发现。最近，两个PAQR受体引起了特别的注意，因为它们介导了称为脂联素的蛋白质激素的作用。脂联素已被证明可以在糖尿病和心血管疾病的小鼠模型中诱导深刻的胰岛素敏化和心脏保护作用，但是关于脂联素信号传导的分子机制知之甚少。为了揭示脂联素受体信号传导的分子细节，我们将探讨脂联素及其受体的结构和生化研究的结合，其长期目标是通过脂联素受体和更广泛的PAQR家族发展对信号的详细分子理解。
