项目摘要

Project Summary The human mitochondrial inner membrane has three ABC transporters: ABCB7 implicated in iron transport (with mutations causing X-linked sideroblastic anemia with ataxia), ABCB8 involved in regulation of a mitochondrial K+ channel and protection against doxorubicin toxicity, and ABCB10, which is essential for red blood cell development, protection against oxidative stress and whose complete absence leads to death of mice embryos. Despite their clear importance, little molecular research has been done on these human mitochondrial transporters, mainly because production of human membrane proteins is difficult. We believe that facilitating the production of these transporters will accelerate the research needed for a better molecular understanding of the mechanisms underlying their function. Human ABC transporters had only been produced in expensive and time-consuming eukaryotic systems until our group recently had the idea of producing ABCB10 in bacteria. Our preliminary studies show that ABCB10 produced in bacteria is functional. Here, we propose to use this novel approach for the easy, fast, and inexpensive production of ABCB7 and ABCB8. Aim 1 will develop methodologies for expression and purification of functional ABCB7 and ABCB8 in bacteria. Aim 2 will optimize methodologies for reconstitution of the purified transporters into a lipid bilayer (nanodiscs and liposomes) to perform functional assays. Our proposal is of high risk because we will test the feasibility of producing these human mitochondrial transporters in bacteria. This proposal is significant because it will provide optimized methodologies for production and functional testing of two important human proteins that have barely been studied, which will be of high reward. The experience of our group on ABC transporters molecular research, combined with these new methodologies, will provide a pathway for a more ambitious R01 proposal aimed at studying the fundamental molecular mechanisms of these human mitochondrial transporters.

项目摘要人线粒体内膜具有三个ABC转运蛋白：ABCB7牵涉在铁运输中（突变引起X连锁的sideroblastic贫血与共济失调），ABCB8参与线粒体K+通道的调节和针对阿霉素毒性的保护和ABCB10 对于红细胞发育，防止氧化应激以及其完全缺失至关重要导致小鼠胚胎死亡。尽管它们显然很重要，但几乎没有进行分子研究在这些人的线粒体转运蛋白上，主要是因为人类膜蛋白的产生是难的。我们认为，促进这些运输者的生产将加速对其功能的机制有更好的分子理解。人类ABC转运蛋白有仅在昂贵且耗时的真核系统中生产，直到我们的小组最近才有在细菌中产生ABCB10的想法。我们的初步研究表明，细菌产生的ABCB10是功能。在这里，我们建议将这种新颖的方法用于轻松，快速且廉价的生产 ABCB7和ABCB8。 AIM 1将开发出表达和纯化功能ABCB7和细菌中的ABCB8。 AIM 2将优化将纯化转运蛋白重构为脂质的方法论双层（纳米盘和脂质体）进行功能测定。我们的建议具有高风险，因为我们将测试在细菌中产生这些人线粒体转运蛋白的可行性。该提议是意义重大，因为它将为两个的生产和功能测试提供优化的方法。几乎没有研究的重要人类蛋白质，这将是很高的回报。我们的经验 ABC转运蛋白分子研究的组，结合这些新方法，将提供旨在研究旨在研究基本分子机制的雄心勃勃的R01提案的途径这些人线粒体转运蛋白。
