概括

哺乳动物的加密色蛋白 (CRY1和CRY2) 调节昼夜节律和细胞平衡. 降低CRY水平会影响蛋白质平衡,但不会影响昼夜节律,这凸显了研究蛋白质功能的挑战.

科学领域:

分子生物学分子生物学
时间生物学时间生物学
免疫学免疫学免疫学

背景情况:

哺乳动物的密码染色体 (CRY1和CRY2) 是转录抑制剂,对于昼夜反循环至关重要.
CRY蛋白还调节非循环过程,并参与蛋白质平衡和炎症信号传递.
慢性CRY缺乏导致蛋白质稳定性受到干扰,并激活炎症途径.

研究的目的:

开发专门降低CRY蛋白水平的工具,将影响与慢性缺陷区分开来.
了解CRY蛋白在昼夜节律,蛋白质平衡和先天免疫中的直接功能.

主要方法:

生物发光查和免疫斑块验证以确定降低CRY水平的化合物.
定量质谱法用于分析CRY枯竭细胞中的蛋白质变化.
在CRY贫乏条件下评估昼夜PERIOD2 (PER2) 蛋白节律.

主要成果:

尽管CRY耗尽,但循环PER2蛋白节奏仍然存在.
缺乏CRY的细胞表现出部分蛋白质调节失调,类似于缺乏CRY的细胞,但具有最小的昼夜表型.
鉴定到的化合物对光酶活性产生了非目标效应,使作用机制的确定复杂化.

结论:

向蛋白减少和生物发光记者是研究CRY蛋白功能的有用但具有挑战性的工具.
CRY蛋白质有助于蛋白质平衡和天生的免疫力,对昼夜节律的直接影响比以前认为的要小.
需要进一步的研究来克服针对性蛋白质降解研究的挑战,并充分阐明CRY蛋白质的作用.

Regulated Protein Degradation

Regulated Protein Degradation

It is vital to regulate the activity of enzymatic as well as non-enzymatic proteins inside the cell. This can be achieved either through creating a balance between their rate of synthesis and degradation or regulating the intrinsic activity of the protein. Both these regulation mechanisms play an essential role in the normal functioning of cells.
Protein degradation plays two important roles in the cells. It helps to protect cells from misfolded or damaged proteins before they lead to a...

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation

Because the DNA segments are cut and reorganized in a direction-specific manner, site-specific recombination has emerged as an efficient genetic engineering technique. Flippase and Cyclization recombinases or Flp and Cre, respectively, are two members of the tyrosine recombinase family derived from bacteriophages, that are used to mediate site-specific DNA insertions, deletions, and targeted expression of proteins in mammalian cell lines.
The recognition sites for Cre recombinase called LoxP...
