血液和生化分析以检测代谢异常和炎症生物标志物.
视网膜组织的转录分析.
在REP-1和REP-2缺陷模型的体内和体外研究.

主要成果:

缺乏REP-1的小鼠表现出代谢异常 (脂质,血红蛋白) 和炎症生物标志物升高,在可检测的视网膜退化之前.
视网膜转录组学揭示了REP-1缺陷小鼠的促炎信号通路的丰富.
单独的REP-2缺乏没有表型,但双重的REP-1和REP-2缺乏导致致命性.

Rab Proteins

Rab Proteins

Rab proteins constitute the largest family of monomeric GTPases, of which 70 members are present in humans. Rab proteins and their effectors regulate consecutive stages of vesicle transport such as vesicle transport, docking, and fusion to the correct recipient membrane.
Rab proteins switch between a cytosolic, GDP-bound inactive state and a membrane-anchored, GTP-bound active state. By themselves, Rabs show slow rates of GDP/GTP exchange and GTP hydrolysis. Thus, Rab proteins are considered...

Rab Cascades

Rab Cascades

Rab GTPases act in a regulated cascade during membrane fusion, helping the lipid bilayers mix. The Rab family of proteins are active when bound to GTP, and inactive when bound to GDP. Hence, they act as guanine nucleotide-dependent molecular switches. Rab-GTP recognizes and binds to long or short-range tethering proteins to capture the target vesicle. These tethers coordinate with SNAREs on the vesicle and the target membrane to assemble the trans SNARE complex that locks the mixing bilayers.
