项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (Adapted from the applicant's abstract): This is a revised application of a new proposal to study the mechanism whereby insulin inhibits activation of the PEPCK gene by cAMP in H4 hepatoma cells. The principal investigator proposes to study how transacting factors, CREB, CBP and possibly other unidentified proteins, are phosphorylated and activated by cAMP via PKA, and dephosphorylated and inhibited by presently unknown insulin mediators. In Specific Aim 1, the principal investigator will determine which amino acids in CREB/CBP/other proteins are phosphorylated or dephosphorylated in response to cAMP and insulin, and these studies will involve phosphopeptide mapping and the use of phosphorylation-site mutants. In Specific Aim 2, the principal investigator will test the hypothesis that a unique bridge complex formed between CREB and the PEPCK minimal promoter is disrupted during insulin action, and this will involve analysis of cis -elements in the minimal promoter and biochemical analysis of the effects of cAMP and insulin on the composition and phosphorylation state of factors associated with the bridge complex. In Specific Aim 3, the principal investigator will determine whether an altered phosphorylation state in CREB/CBP/other proteins is due to changes in relevant nuclear kinase and phosphatase activities, and these studies will involve the use of inhibitors and purified phosphatases and kinases to alter the phosphorylation state of trans-activating factors and their activity in in vitro transcription assays.

描述（根据申请人的摘要改编）：这是一个修订版应用新建议的应用来研究胰岛素的机制 cAMP在H4肝癌细胞中抑制PEPCK基因的激活。这首席研究者建议研究交易因素如何CREB，CBP 可能是其他未鉴定的蛋白质，被磷酸化并激活通过PKA训练营，并被目前未知的去磷酸化和抑制胰岛素介质。在特定的目标1中，首席调查员将确定CREB/CBP/其他蛋白质中的哪些氨基酸是磷酸化或响应营地和胰岛素的去磷酸化，这些研究将涉及磷酸肽图和磷酸化位点突变体的使用。在特定目标2中，主要研究者将检验以下假设。 CREB和PEPCK最小启动子之间形成的独特桥梁复合物在胰岛素作用过程中受到破坏，这将涉及对CIS的分析 - 最小启动子和生化分析的元素 cAMP和胰岛素关于因素的组成和磷酸化状态与桥梁复合物相关。在特定目标3中，校长研究者将确定是否改变了磷酸化状态 CREB/CBP/其他蛋白质是由于相关核激酶和磷酸酶活性，这些研究将涉及使用抑制剂以及纯化的磷酸酶和激酶，以改变的磷酸化状态反式激活因子及其在体外转录中的活性测定。
