项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The heat shock (HS) response is the primary cellular defense mechanism against adverse environmental conditions. The hallmark of the HS response is the rapid and robust induction of HS genes, many of which encoding molecular chaperones. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) have been also implicated in a variety of pathological situations including cancer, ischemia/reperfusion, inflammation, etc. In eukaryotes the HS gene regulation occurs mainly at the transcriptional level by a family of heat shock transcription factors (HSFs), among which HSF1 is the master regulator. HSF1 is constitutively expressed in vertebrates as inactive monomer under tight negative regulation. Rapid and robust post- translational activation of HSF1 occurs in response to HS conditions and other stressors. Activation of HSF1 involves trimerization and acquisition of the DNA-binding activity, changes in phosphorylation pattern and acquisition of transactivation competence. Despite extensive research, the mechanism of HSF1 activation, especially at the trimerization step, remained elusive. During our extensive preliminary work we have identified two cellular factors that are essential for HSF1 activation: translation elongation factor eEF1A and a novel large non-coding RNA termed HSR1. HSR1 is shown to serve as a cellular thermosensor, whereas eEF1A serves a general sensor of protein integrity. The long-term objective of the present proposal is to provide a comprehensive physiological and mechanistic description of HSF1 activation and its regulation by HSR1/eEF1A sensor machinery. Specifically we propose to perform extensive structure-function characterization of HSF1-eEF1A- HSR1 ternary complex and unravel the mechanism underlying HSF activation by HSR1/eEF1A in response to various types of physical and chemical stressors in mammalian and Drosophila cells.

描述（由申请人提供）：热冲击（HS）反应是针对不利环境条件的主要细胞防御机制。 HS响应的标志是HS基因的快速且可靠的诱导，其中许多编码分子伴侣。热休克蛋白（HSP）也与多种病理状况有关，包括癌症，缺血/再灌注，炎症等。在真核生物中，HS基因调控主要发生在转录水平上，这是热电冲击转录因子（HSF）的家族，其中HSF1是HSF1，其中HSF1是主调控器。 HSF1在脊椎动物中的组成型表达为不活跃的单体，在严格的阴性调节下。 HSF1的快速和强大的翻译后激活是响应HS条件和其他压力源而发生的。 HSF1的激活涉及DNA结合活性的修剪和获取，磷酸化模式的变化以及反式激活能力的获取。尽管进行了广泛的研究，但HSF1激活的机制，尤其是在修剪步骤中，仍然难以捉摸。在我们广泛的初步工作中，我们确定了两个对HSF1激活至关重要的细胞因子：翻译伸长因子EEF1A和一种新型的大型非编码RNA称为HSR1。 HSR1被证明是细胞热传感器，而EEF1A则具有蛋白质完整性的一般传感器。本提案的长期目标是提供HSF1激活及其对HSR1/EEF1A传感器机械调节的全面生理和机械描述。具体而言，我们建议对HSF1-EEF1A-HSR1三元复合物进行广泛的结构功能表征，并阐明HSR1/EEF1A对HSF激活的机制，以响应乳腺和果蝇细胞中各种类型的物理和化学应激源。
