项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Multidrug resistance often arises in human tumors due to overexpression of plasma membrane ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter proteins. Recent experiments have indicated that multidrug resistant cells frequently exhibit changes in the profile of lipid species known as sphingolipids along with increases in ABC transporter expression and activity. We have recently discovered that multidrug resistant Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells exhibit a similar molecular linkage between increases in ABC transporter expression and changes in sphingolipid biosynthesis. Work from our lab and others has shown that increases in the activity of the zinc cluster transcription factors Pdr1 p and Pdr3p lead to induction of multidrug resistant ABC transporters like Pdr5p and Yor1p but also the long chain base (LCB) transporter Rsb1p. LCBs are bioactive precursors in sphingolipid biosynthesis in eukaryotic cells. We hypothesize that the coregulation of the ABC transporters and LCB transporter Rsb1p is required for normal modulation and function of the plasma membrane. The Ypk protein kinases in S. cerevisiae are activated by LCBs and we will examine the ability of Ypk2p to control multidrug resistance and gene expression through regulation of Pdr3p. Loss of Pdr5p leads to induction of LCB resistance. Genetic analysis will be performed to identify and analyze components of this signaling pathway connecting loss of this ABC transporter with induction of LCB tolerance. Levels of LCBs will also be analyzed in cells lacking Pdr5p and Yor1p as well as in mutant strains with different levels of Pdr1p/Pdr3p transcriptional activity. This will allow us to determine both the identity of LCBs that are regulated by Pdr pathway function and to uncover sphingolipids that may serve to regulate activity of Pdr1p and/or Pdr3p. Finally, the effect of accumulation of sphingolipid precursors on ABC transporter function will be determined. Transporter activity and trafficking will be measured in strains exposed to high levels of LCBs or containing defects in sphingolipid synthesis. Our work indicates that drug resistant yeast cells co-regulate the biosynthesis of drug transporters with constituents of the membranes in which these transporters will function. This coordinate regulation is important to ensure normal membrane function and may allow new antifungal drugs to be targeted towards its interruption as later stages of this pathway are carried out by enzymes that are not found in mammals.

描述（由申请人提供）：由于质膜ATP结合盒（ABC）转运蛋白的过表达，多药耐药性通常在人类肿瘤中产生。最近的实验表明，多药耐药细胞经常表现出称为鞘脂的脂质物种的变化，以及ABC转运蛋白的表达和活性的增加。我们最近发现，多药耐药酿酒酵母细胞在ABC转运蛋白表达的增加与鞘脂生物合成的变化之间表现出相似的分子联系。我们实验室和其他实验室的工作表明，锌簇转录因子PDR1 P和PDR3P的活性增加导致诱导多药耐药ABC转运蛋白（如PDR5P和YOR1P），但长链基碱（LCB）Transporter transporter rsb1p诱导了诱导。 LCB是真核细胞中鞘脂生物合成的生物活性前体。我们假设ABC转运蛋白和LCB转运蛋白RSB1P的核心测量是质膜的正常调节和功能所必需的。酿酒酵母中的YPK蛋白激酶被LCB激活，我们将检查YPK2P通过调节PDR3P来控制多药耐药性和基因表达的能力。 PDR5P的丧失导致LCB耐药性诱导。将进行遗传分析，以识别和分析该信号传导途径的组件，该途径将ABC转运蛋白的损失与LCB耐受性相关联。在缺乏PDR5P和YOR1P的细胞以及具有不同水平的PDR1P/PDR3P转录活性的突变菌株中，LCB的水平也将进行分析。这将使我们能够确定受PDR途径函数调节的LCB的身份，也可以确定可能用于调节PDR1P和/或PDR3P活性的鞘脂。最后，将确定鞘脂前体积累对ABC转运蛋白功能的影响。转运蛋白活性和运输将以暴露于高水平的LCB或鞘脂合成中包含缺陷的菌株进行测量。我们的工作表明，耐药性酵母细胞与这些转运蛋白起作用的膜的成分共同调节药物转运蛋白的生物合成。该坐标调节对于确保正常的膜功能很重要，并且可以使新的抗真菌药物针对其中断，因为该途径的后期阶段是由在哺乳动物中找不到的酶进行的。
