项目摘要

Decoding the noncanonical polyubiquitin chains using chemical approaches The ubiquitin system is crucial for the regulation of a wide range of cellular and organismal functions essential for the human health. Although our knowledge of the ubiquitin system initially stems from the investigation into proteasome-mediated protein degradation, it has become clear that ubiquitination is also indispensible for many non-proteolytic functions. Many noncanonical ubiquitin chains are associated with cellular functions other than protein degradation. The K63-linked polyubiquitin chain in DNA damage tolerance has been found to be signal for the eukaryotic error-free lesion bypass. However, little is known as to how this signal regulates the DNA damage tolerance pathways. The downstream proteins that decode the K63- polyubiquitin signals on PCNA still need to be identified. In order to decipher the diverse cellular roles of polyubiquitination, chemical approaches of generating polyubiquitinated proteins and noncanonical ubiquitin chains with defined structure and length are needed. This will lead to the discovery of the downstream reader proteins in DNA damage tolerance and other important cellular processes. It will also enable in-depth biochemical and biophysical characterizations of the recognition of noncanonical polyubiquitin chains by the reader proteins. This will broaden our understanding of the many biological processes regulated by ubiquitination and furnish new pathways and targets amenable for therapeutic intervention.

使用化学方法解码非规范多聚泛素链泛素系统对于调节多种细胞和有机体功能至关重要对人类健康至关重要。尽管我们对泛素系统的了解最初源于对蛋白酶体介导的蛋白质降解的研究表明，泛素化也是对于许多非蛋白水解功能来说是不可或缺的。许多非规范泛素链与蛋白质降解以外的细胞功能。 K63 连接的多聚泛素链在 DNA 损伤耐受中的作用已被发现是真核无错误病变旁路的信号。然而，很少有人知道这是如何实现的信号调节 DNA 损伤耐受途径。解码 K63- 的下游蛋白质 PCNA 上的多聚泛素信号仍需鉴定。为了破译不同的细胞作用多泛素化、产生多泛素化蛋白质和非经典泛素的化学方法需要具有明确结构和长度的链。这将导致下游读者的发现 DNA 损伤耐受性和其他重要细胞过程中的蛋白质。它还将能够深入非典型多聚泛素链识别的生化和生物物理特征读者蛋白。这将拓宽我们对许多生物过程的理解泛素化并提供适合治疗干预的新途径和靶点。
