DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The carefully orchestrated movement of ions across cellular membranes is crucial to virtually every biological process. Ion channels play thereby a central role by allowing the regulated flow of relevant ions through their aqueous pore. In the past few decades, progress made in Molecular Biology and Genomics has revealed the unsuspected variety of ion channels expressed in our membranes. The family of TRP channels with more than two dozens of members in humans that function as biosensors and signal integrators is a good illustration of this development. It includes the only known examples of ionic pores fused to enzymatic regions, so-called "chanzymes". TRPM7 and its close relative TRPM6 both harbor a kinase region at their C-terminus that is capable of phosphorylating protein substrates on Serine/Threonine residues. TRPM7 is widely distributed and has been shown to be an essential and irreplaceable molecule in several genetic models, including a B-lymphocyte cell line called DT40. TRPM7-deficiency in this context results in cell growth arrest and death, unless the extracellular media is supplemented with Mg2+, suggesting a role for TRPM7 in Mg2+- homeostasis regulation. Despite these insights into TRPM7's physiological function, the significance of its kinase region remains unclear. Understanding the role of this unique domain holds the promise to shed some light on novel mechanisms of cellular adjustments to a changing ionic environment. The main goal of this proposal is to investigate the relationship between the channel and kinase portions of TRPM7 by utilizing a combination of biochemistry, genetics and biophysics approaches, allowing for a detailed function-structure relationship study. We plan to determine how altering the ionic selectivity of TRPM7 channels through pore mutations might affect its kinase activity. Furthermore the functional importance of the covalent link between kinase and channel will be assessed by studying liberated domains and through the introduction of linker structures. Finally, we also designed experiments allowing us to define molecular determinants of channel assembly and trafficking to the cell surface.

描述（由申请人提供）：离子在细胞膜上精心策划的运动对于几乎每个生物过程至关重要。离子通道通过允许相关离子通过其水性孔的调节流动来发挥核心作用。在过去的几十年中，分子生物学和基因组学取得的进展揭示了我们膜中表达的无离子通道的多种多样。在人类中充当生物传感器和信号积分器的人类中有二十多名成员的TRP通道家族是这一发展的很好的例证。它包括唯一已知的离子孔融合到酶区域的离子孔，即所谓的“ chanzymes”。 TRPM7及其接近的相对TRPM6都在其C末端具有激酶区域，该区域能够在丝氨酸/苏氨酸残基上磷酸化蛋白质底物。 TRPM7被广泛分布，在几种遗传模型中已被证明是必不可少的，不可替代的分子，包括称为DT40的B淋巴细胞细胞系。在这种情况下，TRPM7缺陷会导致细胞生长停滞和死亡，除非细胞外培养基补充MG2+，这表明TRPM7在MG2+ - 稳态调节中的作用。尽管对TRPM7的生理功能有了这些见解，但其激酶区域的重要性仍不清楚。了解这个独特的领域的作用有望阐明细胞调整到不断变化的离子环境的新机制。 该提案的主要目的是通过利用生物化学，遗传学和生物物理学方法的组合来研究TRPM7的通道和激酶部分之间的关​​系，从而允许进行详细的功能结构关系研究。我们计划确定如何通过孔突变改变TRPM7通道的离子选择性可能会影响其激酶活性。此外，将通过研究解放域和引入接头结构来评估激酶与通道之间共价链接的功能重要性。最后，我们还设计了实验，使我们能够定义通道组装的分子决定因素，并运输到细胞表面。
