项目摘要

There is the small GTP-binding protein (G protein) superfamily which consists of over sixty members. All the members are monomeric proteins with Mrs between 20,000 and 30,000 which exhibit both GDP/GTP-binding and GTPase activities. In the present research project, we studied the functions and modes of activation and action of small G proteins. Ras is the representative of this superfamily and is well known to regulate gene expression at least through the MAP kinase cascade consisting of MAP kinase, MAP kinase kinase (MEK), and MEK kinase. We purified from bovine brain a MEK kinase which activated MEK in a GTPgammaS-Ki-Ras-dependent manner in a cell-free system and identified it as B-Raf complexed with 14-3-3 proteins. We also found that Rapl, which has the same amino acid sequence at its effector domain as that of Ras, is also involved in the activation of the B-Raf-dependent MAP kinase cascade. Rho regulates reorganization of actin filaments and is implicated in at least maintenance … More of cell morphology, cell motility, and cytokinesis in mammalian cells. We found that Rho is translocated to a membrane ruffling area when cells are stimulated by HGF and TPA.Rho was also observed at the contractile ring produced during cytokinesis. The ERM family (Ezrin, Radixin, and Moesin), which directly interacts with actin filaments through its C-terminal region and with a transmembrane protein, CD44, through its N-terminal region, is located at these areas. Therefore, Rho may regulate reorganization of the ERM family-dependent association of actin filaments with the plasma membrane. We also found that Rho GDI directly interacts with ERM,initiating the activation of Rho by reducing the Rho GDI activity. Rho also exists in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and we found that Rho is essential for budding process. We genetically and biochemically isolated the regulatory proteins (RDI1 and ROM1/ROM2) and target proteins (PKC1, BNI1/BNR1, glucan synthase) for Rho. BNI1 and BNR1 directly interact with profilin at the FH1 domains, suggesting that Rho regulates the reorganization of actin filaments through the BNI1/BNR1-profilin system. Rab3A is a member of the Rab family which is particularly implicated in neurotransmitter release from the nerve terminal. We had isolated its regulatory protein, named Rab GDI,and its target protein, named Rabphilin-3A.In this research project, we isolated other regulatory proteins for Rab3A,Rab3 GEP and Rab3 GAP. Less

有一个小的GTP结合蛋白（G蛋白）超家族，由60多个成员组成。所有成员都是单体蛋白，MRS具有20,000至30,000之间，既表现出GDP/GTP结合和GTPase活动。在本研究项目中，我们研究了小G蛋白的激活和作用的功能和模式。 RAS是该超家族的代表，众所周知，可以至少通过MAP激酶级联反应来调节基因表达，该级联酶由MAP激酶，MAP激酶激酶（MEK）和MEK激酶组成。我们从牛脑中纯化了MEK激酶，该激酶在无细胞系统中以GTPGAMMAS-KI-RAS依赖性方式激活MEK，并将其确定为B-RAF与14-3-3-3蛋白复合的B-RAF。我们还发现，Rapl在其效应域中具有与RA的氨基酸序列相同的氨基酸序列，也参与了B-RAF依赖性MAP激酶级联反应的激活。 RHO调节肌动蛋白丝的重组，并至少在维持中实施……哺乳动物细胞中更多的细胞形态，细胞运动和细胞因子。我们发现，当细胞在细胞因子过程中产生的收缩环上还观察到RHO被转换为膜荷叶边区域。 ERM家族（Ezrin，radixin和Moesin）通过其C末端区域与肌动蛋白丝和跨膜蛋白CD44通过其N末端区域直接相互作用。因此，RHO可以调节肌动蛋白丝与质膜的ERM家族依赖性关联的重组。我们还发现Rho GDI直接与ERM相互作用，从而通过减少Rho GDI活性来启动Rho的激活。 Rho还存在于酿酒酵母的酵母糖疗法中，我们发现Rho对于萌芽过程至关重要。我们在RHO中将调节蛋白（RDI1和ROM1/ROM2）和靶蛋白（PKC1，BNI1/BNR1，葡聚糖合酶）分离为综合和生化。 BNI1和BNR1在FH1结构域直接与profilin相互作用，这表明RHO通过BNI1/BNR1-核纤维蛋白系统调节肌动蛋白丝的重组。 Rab3a是Rab家族的成员，它特别涉及从神经终端释放神经递质。我们已经分离了其名为Rab GDI的调节蛋白，其靶蛋白为Rabphilin-3A.IN这个研究项目，我们分离了Rab3a，Rab3 GEP和Rab3 Gap的其他调节蛋白。较少的
