项目摘要

Tuberculosis kills nearly 2 million people globally every year. Over the years, we have determined that the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) proteasome is essential to allow the tubercle bacilli to persist in animals. Proteasomes are multi-subunit, barrel shaped proteases that degrade proteins in a highly regulated manner. We are currently examining how proteolysis is regulated, from how proteins are tagged with the only known bacterial protein-on-protein post-translational modification to how those tagged proteins are then delivered into the proteasome core protease. Secondly, this proposal will seek to understand the functions of an essential protein quality control system that is regulated by proteasomal degradation. Identifying how this system contributes to Mtb physiology may identify new ways to combat tuberculosis infections. Thus, these studies will reveal how a proteasome senses extracellular signals to optimize bacterial growth required for lethal infections.

结核病每年导致全球近 200 万人死亡。多年来，我们确定结核分枝杆菌 (Mtb) 蛋白酶体对于结核杆菌在动物体内的存活至关重要。蛋白酶体是多亚基、桶状蛋白酶，能够以高度调控的方式降解蛋白质。我们目前正在研究如何调节蛋白水解作用，从蛋白质如何用唯一已知的标签进行标记细菌蛋白质对蛋白质的翻译后修饰，以决定这些标记的蛋白质如何被传递到蛋白酶体核心蛋白酶。其次，该提案将寻求了解一个基本的功能由蛋白酶体降解调节的蛋白质质量控制系统。识别这个系统如何对结核杆菌生理学的贡献可能会找到对抗结核感染的新方法。因此，这些研究将揭示蛋白酶体如何感知细胞外信号以优化致命感染所需的细菌生长。
