项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is reaching epidemic proportions in Western societies. T2D occurs when the ¿-cells of the pancreas do not secrete enough insulin to properly regulate peripheral blood glucose levels, usually in the face of obesity and associated peripheral insulin resistance. The mechanisms underlying insulin secretion are not properly understood. Using a forward genetics approach, we have discovered that a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the protein-coding region of the gene for tomosyn-2 is directly correlated with the hypoinsulinemic/hyperglycemic phenotype. Tomosyn-2 is a relatively uncharacterized protein and the mechanism by which it regulates insulin secretion is not known. The work proposed here in this Pathways to Independence Award application has two primary goals: 1) to elucidate the mechanism by which tomosyn-2 regulates insulin secretion in pancreatic ¿-cells, and 2) to use my development of this novel area of T2D research to facilitate the development of my career from the mentored phase to an independent phase. During the mentored phase of the grant, I will receive training in mass spectrometry, in vitro liposome fusion assays, membrane biochemistry, and the generation of the tomosyn-2 knockout mouse. The research conducted in the mentored phase will examine the effect of identified phosphorylation sites on the ability of tomosyn-2 to regulate insulin secretion and to understand the mechanism by which tomosyn-2 is targeted for proteosomal degradation. During the independent phase of the grant, my research will examine the mechanism by which tomosyn-2 inhibits insulin secretion by regulating the activity of soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) proteins and characterize the role of novel tomosyn-2 binding proteins. These studies will provide novel clues to the mechanism by which tomosyn-2 inhibits insulin secretion and will further our understanding of the regulation of insulin secretio in T2D.

描述（由申请人提供）：当 T2D 发生时，2 型糖尿病 (T2D) 在西方社会已达到流行程度。 - 胰腺细胞不能分泌足够的胰岛素来适当调节外周血糖水平，通常是在肥胖的情况下和相关的外周胰岛素抵抗。使用正向遗传学方法，我们发现 tomosyn-2 基因的蛋白质编码区中的单核苷酸多态性 (SNP) 与胰岛素分泌直接相关。 Tomosyn-2 是一种相对未表征的蛋白质，其调节胰岛素分泌的机制尚不清楚，该独立之路奖申请中提出的工作有两个主要内容。目标：1) 阐明 tomosyn-2 调节胰腺胰岛素分泌的机制 ¿ -细胞，以及 2) 利用我在 T2D 研究这一新领域的发展，促进我的职业生涯从指导阶段发展到独立阶段。在资助的指导阶段，我将接受质谱方面的培训。、体外脂质体融合测定、膜生物化学以及 tomosyn-2 敲除小鼠的产生在指导阶段进行的研究将检查已识别的磷酸化位点对 tomosyn-2 调节能力的影响。胰岛素分泌并了解 tomosyn-2 靶向蛋白体降解的机制在资助的独立阶段，我的研究将检查 tomosyn-2 通过调节可溶性 N-乙基马来酰亚胺的活性来抑制胰岛素分泌的机制。这些研究将为 tomosyn-2 抑制胰岛素分泌的机制提供新的线索，并将进一步促进我们的研究。了解 T2D 中胰岛素分泌的调节。
