项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term goal of this study is to understand the biological function of ubiquitin like protein ISG15 in cancer development. In recent years our knowledge of protein ubiquitylation has expanded rapidly and as a consequence protein ubiquitylation is known to play important roles in various aspects of cellular function, including the cell cycle, membrane receptor signal transduction, endocytosis, protein quality control, transcription, and DNA repair. In contrast, too little is known about the role of ISG15, although we are starting to realize its importance. ISG15 is encoded by an interferon stimulated gene. Its expression is highly upregulated by Type I interferon and by any stress stimulations that promote interferon production. Since ISG15 is not found in simple eukaryotic organisms, such as yeast and nematodes, it is unlikely to be a housekeeping gene. Instead, it should be involved in specialized functions in complex organisms, such as human and mouse. We have identified a group of ISG15 targets, characterized the effect of ISG15 modification on some of these targets, identified the ISG15 E2, a few of the E3 enzymes and its deconjugating enzyme Usp18, and established ISG15 E1 Ube1L and Usp18 knockout mice. Recently, it has been reported that ISG15 expression is greatly enhanced during cancer development. We also observed a clear effect of the ISG15 system in cancer development in our mouse models. Therefore, this proposal will test the hypothesis that both free ISG15 and protein ISG15 modification (ISGylation) modulate cancer development. To test this hypothesis, we will perform the following studies: in Specific Aim #1, we will examine the role of protein ISGylation in regulating cancer development via studying the effect of ISGylation on factors that are critical for the specific phenotypes of cancer. The studies proposed in Specific Aim #2 will analyze the function of free ISG15 in the regulation of tumor malignancy. We have identified the interaction of ISG15 with important regulators of related processes. The proposed studies are based on our accumulated knowledge and our most recent novel findings of breast cancer in Ube1L knockout mice. This proposal will address important questions about molecular mechanisms of ISG15 and may provide novel insights into the prevention and therapeutic treatment of human cancer.

描述（由申请人提供）：这项研究的长期目标是了解泛素像蛋白质ISG15在癌症发展中的生物学功能。近年来，我们对蛋白质泛素化的了解已迅速扩展，因此蛋白质泛素化在细胞功能的各个方面都起着重要作用，包括细胞周期，膜受体信号转导，内吞作用，蛋白质质量控制，转录，转录，DNA修复。相比之下，尽管我们开始意识到它的重要性，但对ISG15的作用知之甚少。 ISG15由干扰素刺激的基因编码。 I型干扰素和任何促进干扰素产生的压力刺激都高度上调其表达。由于ISG15在诸如酵母和线虫之类的简单真核生物中未发现，因此不可能是管家基因。取而代之的是，它应参与复杂生物（例如人和小鼠）的专业功能。我们已经确定了一组ISG15靶标，表征了ISG15修改对其中某些靶标的影响，并确定了ISG15 E2，一些E3酶及其DeConconconcontect酶USP18，并确定了ISG15 E1 UBE1L和PP18淘汰赛小鼠。最近，据报道，在癌症发展过程中，ISG15表达大大增强。我们还观察到ISG15系统在小鼠模型中的癌症发展中产生了明显的影响。因此，该提案将检验以下假设：自由ISG15和蛋白质ISG15修饰（ISGYLATION）调节癌症的发展。为了检验这一假设，我们将进行以下研究：在特定的目标＃1中，我们将通过研究Isgylation对iSGyLation对特定癌症表型至关重要的因素的影响来研究蛋白质Isgylation在调节癌症发展中的作用。特定目标2中提出的研究将分析自由ISG15在调节肿瘤恶性肿瘤中的功能。我们已经确定了ISG15与相关过程的重要调节因子的相互作用。拟议的研究基于我们的积累知识以及我们最近在UBE1L敲除小鼠中对乳腺癌的新发现。该提案将解决有关ISG15分子机制的重要问题，并可能为人类癌症的预防和治疗治疗提供新的见解。
