项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Cell adhesion complexes are a bio-medically important class of multi-protein assemblies. They are involved in sensing Interactions between cells and their external environment, and then initiating and regulating intracellular signals that control cell migration, cell shape and functional organization, proliferation and survival, and gene expression. They are evolutionarily old, critical for normal development and homeostasis, and are defective in genetic diseases and cancer. Currently, there is a lack of a concerted effort to integrate available genomic (evolutionary) and structural information to rigorously solve the hierarchical structural organization of these multi-protein complexes at the atomic, meso and macro scale. A further barrier to progress is the availability of large amounts of purified proteins for multi-protein complex reconstitution since classical approaches are not feasible due to the unstable nature of complex protein assemblies. The Consortium will leverage high-throughput expression and structures of large sets of target families of proteins and signaling networks to understand the structural and functional organization of both cell-cell and cell-ECM adhesion complexes. The Consortium will integrate expertise in structural biology (X-ray crystallography, electron microscopy of in situ complexes), biochemistry and cell biology (in vitro reconstitution), chemistry and live cell imaging (in situ bio-sensors and caged proteins) by: Specific Aim 1: Define multi-protein interactions, stoichiometries and affinities in solution (Liddington, Weis). Specific Aim 2: Reconstitute multi-protein complexes on biological membranes (Ginsberg, Nelson). Specific Aim 3: Define structures of multi-protein complexes in situ, at a physiological environment (Hanein, Volkmann). Specific Aim 4: Analyze dynamic protein-protein interactions and assembly in live cells (Hahn).

描述（由申请人提供）：细胞粘附复合物是一类重要的多蛋白质组件类。他们参与了传感细胞与其外部环境之间的相互作用，然后启动和调节细胞内信号，以控制细胞迁移，细胞形状和功能组织，增殖和生存以及基因表达。它们在进化上是古老的，对于正常发育和稳态至关重要，并且在遗传疾病和癌症中有缺陷。当前，缺乏一致的努力来整合可用的基因组（进化）和结构信息，无法严格解决这些多蛋白质复合物在原子，中索和宏观量表的这些多蛋白质复合物的层次结构组织。进步的另一个障碍是多种纯化的蛋白质用于多蛋白复合物的重建，因为由于复杂蛋白质组件的不稳定性，经典方法是不可行的。该财团将利用大量蛋白质和信号网络的大量目标家族的高通量表达和结构来了解细胞细胞和细胞ECM粘附复合物的结构和功能组织。该财团将整合结构生物学（X射线晶体学，原位复合物的电子显微镜），生物化学和细胞生物学（体外）的专业知识重构），化学和活细胞成像（原位生物传感器和笼蛋白）通过：特定目的1：定义溶液中的多蛋白相互作用，化学计量和亲和力（Liddington，Weis）。具体目的2：重建生物膜的多蛋白质复合物（Ginsberg，Nelson）。特定目的3：在生理环境（Hanein，Volkmann）定义原位的多蛋白络合物的结构。特定目标4：分析活细胞（HAHN）中动态蛋白质蛋白质相互作用和组装。
