项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal focuses on an emerging signal transduction paradigm which counters the prevailing view that the nucleus is a passive recipient of signals produced at the plasma membrane. Our laboratory and others have shown that receptor activation at the cell surface results in regulation of nuclear enzymes that produce and modify potent lipid signaling molecules. While this area has garnered increasing interest, we still understand neither the molecular aspects of the regulation nor the precise physiological roles of the induced lipid metabolism. The proposed studies aim at elucidating key elements of this signal transduction mechanism and its functional consequences. We find that the small molecular weight GTP-binding protein RhoA reciprocally regulates two signaling enzymes, diacylglycerol kinase-theta and phospholipase D, at the nucleus in response to alpha-thrombin stimulation of fibroblasts. We have termed this regulation the "RhoA Switch". We predict that the resulting modulation of diacylglycerol and phosphatidic acid levels and molecular composition have important physiological consequences such as the regulation of nuclear localization and activity of protein kinase C-alpha. Two heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins, Gq and G13, and the lipid kinase PI 3-kinase mediate thrombin activation of this pathway. We hypothesize that; alpha-thrombin, after initiating an early Gq-dependent increase in nuclear diacylglycerol kinase-theta activity, stimulates a G13/PI 3-kinase-dependent nuclear translocation of RhoA that acts as a temporal "switch" to inhibit nuclear diacylglycerol kinase-theta while activating nuclear phospholipase D. We will test the hypothesis that Gq is essential for the induced increase in nuclear diacylglycerol kinase-theta activity, and identify the diacylglycerol-theta domains essential for its nuclear translocation in Aim I. Aim II will determine the molecular mechanism of the RhoA Switch by testing whether PI 3-kinase activation is responsible for nuclear RhoA translocation. Further, we will determine the molecular interactions between RhoA, diacylglycerol kinase-theta and phospholipase D. The physiological consequences of the RhoA Switch will be examined in Aim III. We will focus on the effect of the Switch on nuclear protein kinase C-alpha activity, composition of nuclear phosphatidic acids, and growth. We believe that an understanding of nuclear lipid signaling is key to our ability to intervene in events such as wound repair and tissue remodeling.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案侧重于一种新兴的信号转导范例，该范例反驳了普遍的观点，即细胞核是质膜产生的信号的被动接受者。我们的实验室和其他实验室已经表明，细胞表面的受体激活会导致核酶的调节，从而产生和修饰有效的脂质信号分子。尽管这一领域引起了越来越多的兴趣，但我们仍然不了解调节的分子方面，也不了解诱导的脂质代谢的精确生理作用。拟议的研究旨在阐明这种信号转导机制的关键要素及其功能后果。我们发现小分子量 GTP 结合蛋白 RhoA 相互调节细胞核内的两种信号酶：二酰基甘油激酶-θ 和磷脂酶 D，以响应 α-凝血酶对成纤维细胞的刺激。我们将此调节称为“RhoA Switch”。我们预测由此产生的二酰甘油和磷脂酸水平以及分子组成的调节具有重要的生理后果，例如核定位和蛋白激酶 C-α 活性的调节。两种异三聚体 GTP 结合蛋白 Gq 和 G13 以及脂质激酶 PI 3 激酶介导该途径的凝血酶激活。我们假设； α-凝血酶在启动早期 Gq 依赖性核二酰甘油激酶 θ 活性增加后，刺激 RhoA 的 G13/PI 3 激酶依赖性核转位，充当时间“开关”以抑制核二酰甘油激酶 θ，同时激活核磷脂酶 D。我们将检验 Gq 对于诱导核二酰基甘油激酶 θ 活性增加至关重要的假设，并确定Aim I 中二酰基甘油-θ 结构域对其核转位至关重要。Aim II 将通过测试 PI 3 激酶激活是否负责核 RhoA 转位来确定 RhoA 开关的分子机制。此外，我们将确定 RhoA、二酰甘油激酶-theta 和磷脂酶 D 之间的分子相互作用。RhoA 开关的生理后果将在目标 III 中进行研究。我们将重点关注 Switch 对核蛋白激酶 C-α 活性、核磷脂酸组成和生长的影响。我们相信，了解核脂质信号传导对于我们干预伤口修复和组织重塑等事件的能力至关重要。
