DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the proposed research is to verify the interaction of RSK2 with the third intracellular loop of the 5-HT2A receptor that was identified in a yeast-2-hybrid screen. Once this interaction has been established, its functional significance will be determined. Our central hypothesis is that RSK2 interacts with the 5-HT2A receptor, indicating a role in signal transduction. It is likely that this interaction plays a role in the ligand-dependent activation of the MAP Kinase cascade by the 5-HT2A receptor. Inactivating mutations in the RSK2 gene are responsible for the human Coffin-Lowry syndrome. This syndrome is characterized by severe non-specific mental retardation, psychosis, and progressive skeletal deformations. The psychosis that is present in Coffin-Lowry syndrome may prove to be attributed to a disfunction of 5-HT2A signaling. To test this central idea we propose to verify the interaction of the 5-HT2A receptor's third intracellular loop and RSK2 via coimmunoprecipitation studies and through confocal microscopy studies. The binding site of RSK2 to the 5-HT2A receptor will be defined via site-directed mutageneis studies in conjunction with 2-hybrid analysis. The functional role of the interaction between RSK2 and the 5-HT2A receptor will be defined.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议研究的目标是验证 RSK2 与在酵母 2 杂交筛选中鉴定出的 5-HT2A 受体的第三个细胞内环的相互作用。一旦建立了这种相互作用，其功能意义就确定了。我们的中心假设是 RSK2 与 5-HT2A 受体相互作用，表明在信号转导中发挥作用。这种相互作用很可能在 5-HT2A 受体对 MAP 激酶级联的配体依赖性激活中发挥作用。 RSK2 基因的失活突变是导致人类 Coffin-Lowry 综合征的原因。该综合征的特点是严重的非特异性智力低下、精神病和进行性骨骼变形。 Coffin-Lowry 综合征中出现的精神病可能是由于 5-HT2A 信号传导功能障碍所致。为了测试这一中心思想，我们建议通过免疫共沉淀研究和共聚焦显微镜研究来验证 5-HT2A 受体的第三个细胞内环与 RSK2 的相互作用。 RSK2 与 5-HT2A 受体的结合位点将通过定点诱变研究结合 2 杂交分析来确定。 RSK2 和 5-HT2A 受体之间相互作用的功能作用将被定义。
