项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed research initiates a new line of investigation into nuclear mechanisms of insulin expression that involve direct association of insulin and insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) with genomic G-quartet DNA in the insulin-linked polymorphic region (ILPR) of the human insulin gene promoter. The proposal is based on the discovery of in vitro affinity capture of insulin by G-quartet DNA oligonucleotides with the ILPR repeat sequence. It is supported by reports suggesting that nuclear accumulation of insulin and IGFs may play a role in regulation of transcription, as well as by growing evidence of the biological significance of G-quartet formation in genomic DNA. The results could lead to the identification of new genomic targets for treatment of diabetes and its complications. The specific aim of this R21 proposal is to determine if human insulin and IGFs exhibit specific, affinity binding in vitro to G-quartet DNA oligonucleotides corresponding to the ILPR variants. It takes a new approach to screening interactions between proteins and particular oligonucleotide structural motifs using DNA arrays and MALDI mass spectrometric detection. Effects of stabilizing cations, zinc, pH, porphyrin complexation, intra- vs. intermolecular G-quartet formation, tandem repeat number and protein concentration will be studied. When affinity binding is observed, solution studies will be preformed to provide a more quantitative measure of binding affinity. Milestones include demonstration of (1) at least 103- fold greater affinity between insulin proteins and G-quartet ILPR variants than between insulin proteins and non-G-quartet ILPR variants, and between albumin and G-quartet ILPR variants, (2) at least 10-fold greater affinity between insulin proteins and G-quartet ILPR variants relative to other G-quartet oligonucleotides, and (3) significant differences in binding affinities of insulin proteins among the different G-quartet ILPR variants. The results will lead to the design of new affinity binding ligands for a collaborative R01 proposal to perform in vivo studies in cells and transgenic animals.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的研究启动了对胰岛素表达的核机制的新研究，涉及胰岛素链接多态性区域（ILPR）中胰岛素连接的多态性区域（ILPR）中胰岛素和类胰岛素样生长因子（IGF）的直接关联。该提案基于与ILPR重复序列的G-Quartet DNA寡核苷酸对胰岛素的体外亲和力捕获。该报告表明，胰岛素和IGF的核积累可能在转录调节中起作用，以及越来越多地证明G Quartet形成在基因组DNA中的生物学意义。结果可能导致鉴定出用于治疗糖尿病及其并发症的新基因组靶标。该R21提案的具体目的是确定人类胰岛素和IGF是否在体外与与ILPR变体相对应的G-四分之一DNA寡核苷酸表现出特定的亲和力结合。它采用了一种新的方法来使用DNA阵列和MALDI质谱检测来筛选蛋白质与特定寡核苷酸结构基序之间的相互作用。将研究稳定阳离子，锌，pH，卟啉络合，内部与分子间G-四分之一形成，串联重复数和蛋白质浓度的影响。当观察到亲和力结合时，将进行溶液研究，以提供更定量的结合亲和力度量。 Milestones include demonstration of (1) at least 103- fold greater affinity between insulin proteins and G-quartet ILPR variants than between insulin proteins and non-G-quartet ILPR variants, and between albumin and G-quartet ILPR variants, (2) at least 10-fold greater affinity between insulin proteins and G-quartet ILPR variants relative to other G-quartet寡核苷酸和（3）不同G-Quartet ILPR变体之间胰岛素蛋白的结合亲和力的显着差异。结果将导致设计新的亲和力结合配体，用于协作R01提案，以在细胞和转基因动物中进行体内研究。
