项目摘要
PROJECT SUMMARY
Glucose is one of the most highly regulated metabolites for nearly all organisms. In humans, misregulation of
glucose metabolism plays a role in many diseases, from systemic metabolic syndrome to cancerous cell
growth. This proposal focuses on the glucose transporters (GLUTs) in the solute carrier family 2 (SLC2), which
includes the well-known transporters GLUT1, GLUT2, GLUT3, and GLUT4. These transporters facilitate the
movement of glucose across the cell membrane following concentration gradients in an energy-independent
manner. Since GLUTs serve as gates between the cell and the extracellular environment, their activity must be
tightly controlled by both signaling events and metabolite levels. Despite their key roles in the major metabolic
tissues, very little is known about GLUT protein-level regulation. Insulin regulation of GLUT4 is the notable
exception, but even in this case, many mechanistic details (such as insulin-dependent inhibition of GLUT4
endocytosis) remain unknown.
We discovered that an α-arrestin protein, TXNIP (thioredoxin interacting protein), acts as an adaptor between
GLUT1 and the clathrin-dependent endocytosis machinery, facilitating GLUT1 endocytosis. The interaction
between TXNIP and GLUT1 is signal-dependent: phosphorylation of TXNIP by AMPK (AMP-activated kinase)
dissociates TXNIP from GLUT1, preventing GLUT1 endocytosis, thus leading to a rapid increase in glucose
influx. Given the sequence and structural homology among the GLUTs, together with signal-induced post-
translational modifications found on the TXNIP protein, we aim to show that TXNIP is a universal regulatory
node evolved for modulating acute glucose flux response.
Specific Aim 1 will analyze the regulation of TXNIP on GLUTs, using GLUT1 as the prototype and developing a
detailed map of its interaction through various biochemical assays. The information we learn about GLUT1 will
be tested on other GLUTs, particularly GLUT4, to verify the role of TXNIP as a common adaptor for all GLUTs.
In this Aim, we will also examine the role of lipids in TXNIP-GLUT interactions to build a foundation for future
investigation of GLUT protein trafficking. Specific Aim 2 will focus on the upstream regulation of TXNIP by cell
signaling events, particularly growth factor stimulation. We intend to identify upstream kinases and their
phosphorylation sites on TXNIP; we also plan to test the effect of this regulation in vivo, using insulin regulation
of glucose uptake in muscle and adipose tissue as the model. Muscle- and adipose-specific TXNIP knock-out
mice will be generated to examine their metabolic profile. Combined understanding of the upstream and
downstream regulatory mechanisms of TXNIP should provide greater insight into how glucose metabolism can
be misregulated in human diseases.
项目摘要
葡萄糖是几乎所有生物的高度调节代谢物之一。在人类中

包括众所周知的转运蛋白GLUT1,GLUT2,GLUT3和GLUT4。这些运输者准备了
