项目摘要

ABSTRACT The pathogenesis of motor neuron and muscle dysfunction in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a leading genetic cause of infant mortality, is still unresolved. SMA results from low levels of the Survival Motor Neuron SMN protein. The rationale underlying these experiments is our discovery that the SMN protein binds to and moves in neurons together with the CopA protein, the largest constituent of the heptameric COPI coatomer complex. The objective of this proposal is to determine the molecular mechanisms by which reduced SMN interaction with COPI complex and loss of COPI activities leads to neurodegeneration. Golgi-derived COPI vesicles are necessary for post-translational processing and transport of proteins and other cargoes between Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum and secretory pathway. Golgi alterations have been observed in SMA, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, and other neurodegenerative disorders. Our data demonstrate that pathologically low levels of SMN alter the morphology and functionality of the Golgi apparatus. The overall premise of this proposal is that the COPI complex is necessary for processing and trafficking of cargoes essential for normal motor neuron maintenance. We have also shown that specific mRNAs are found in association with COPI. One class of cargo emphasized in this grant is mRNA selected for axonal transport. We propose genetic, biochemical, proteomic and transgenic approaches to define the properties and activities of the COPI complex and its interactions with SMN and other potential binding partners. We will create murine models to investigate the role of COPI in the neuron and perform correlative in vivo studies of axonogenesis, RNA trafficking and pathologic biological outcomes. Because SMN physically interacts with factors linked to other neurodegenerative diseases, thereby implicating commonality of causality, these experiments should result in new insights into the aberrant processes occurring in these disorders. Moreover, pharmacologic induction of the COPI pathway may represent a novel objective for treatment of SMA and other neurodegenerative diseases.

抽象的脊柱肌肉萎缩（SMA）中运动神经元和肌肉功能障碍的发病机理，这是一种领先的遗传婴儿死亡率的原因仍未解决。 SMA是由低水平的生存电动机神经元SMN产生的蛋白质。这些实验的基本原理是我们发现SMN蛋白与并移动在神经元与Copa蛋白一起，最大的是肝脏COPI夹具复合物的最大。该建议的目的是确定降低SMN相互作用的分子机制随着COPI复合物和COPI活动的丧失，会导致神经变性。 Golgi衍生的Copi蔬菜是蛋白质的翻译后加工和运输所需的必要设备和内质网和秘书途径。在SMA中观察到高尔基体改变肌萎缩性侧索硬化症，阿尔茨海默氏病和其他神经退行性疾病。我们的数据证明在病理上较低的SMN改变了高尔基的形态和功能设备。该提案的总体前提是，COPI综合体对于处理和对正常运动神经元维护必不可少的货物贩运货物。我们还表明了具体与COPI联合发现mRNA。在这笔赠款中强调的一类货物是选择的mRNA 轴突运输。我们提出了遗传，生化，蛋白质组学和转基因方法来定义 COPI复合物的特性和活动及其与SMN和其他潜在结合的相互作用合作伙伴。我们将创建鼠模型来研究COPI在神经元中的作用，并在轴突生成，RNA运输和病理生物学结局的体内研究。因为SMN身体上与与其他神经退行性疾病有关的因素相互作用这些实验应导致对这些疾病中发生的异常过程的新见解。此外，COPI途径的药物结肠诱导可能代表了治疗SMA的新目标和其他神经退行性疾病。
