JAK2在生长激素介导的信号传导中的作用

在细胞水平上，JAK2在生长激素介导的信号传导中具重要作用。生长激素与生长激素膜蛋白受体结合，激活胞质酪氨酸激酶JAK2后，JAK2自身磷酸化。同时磷酸化生长激素膜蛋白受体，从而形成信号传导因子与转录激活因子、适配蛋白Shc等细胞信号分子高亲和位点。生长激素刺激下的JAK2也会磷酸化胰岛素受体底物，从而激活磷酯酰肌糖3激酶以及其它相关的调节新陈代谢的生物分子活性。而且JAK2还能激活适配蛋白SH2-B。这些因子和激活途径可能是生长激素作用于机体并调节机体生长代谢的基础。

Bioinformatics analysis of two-component regulatory systems in Staphylococcus epidermidis

Sixteen pairs of two-component regulatory systems are identified in the genome of Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC12228 strain, which is newly sequenced by our laboratory for Medical Molecular Virology and Chinese National Human Genome Center at Shanghai, by using bioinformatics analysis. Comparative analysis of the twocomponent regulatory systems in S. epidermidis and that of S.aureus and Bacillus sublilis shows that these systems may regulate some important biological functions, e.g. growth,biofilm formation, and expression of virulence factors in S.epidermidis. Two conserved domains, i.e. HATPase_c and REC domains, are found in all 16 pairs of two-component proteins.Homologous modelling analysis indicates that there are 4 similar HATPase_c domain structures of histidine kinases and 13 similar REC domain structures of response regulators,and there is one AMP-PNP binding pocket in the HATPase_c domain and three active aspartate residues in the REC domain. Preliminary experiment reveals that the bioinformatics analysis of the conserved domain structures in the two-component regulatory systems in S. epidermidis may provide useful information for discovery of potential drug target.     

5DFRXXL region of long myosin light chain kinase causes F-actin bundle formation

Long myosin light chain kinase （L-MLCK） contains five DFRXXL motifs with ability to bind F-actin. Binding stoichiometry data indicated that each DFRXXL motif might bind each G-actin, but its biological significance remained unknown. We hypothesized that L-MLCK might act as an F-actin bundle peptides by its multiple binding sites of 5DFRXXL motifs to actin. In order to characterize F-actin-bundle formation properties of 5DFRXXL region of long myosin light chain kinase, we expressed and purified 5DFRXXL peptides tagged with HA in vitro. The properties of 5DFRXXL peptides binding to myofilaments or F-actin were analyzed by binding stoichiometries assays. The results indicated that 5DFRXXL peptides bound to myofilaments or F-actin with high affinity. KD values of 5DFRXXL binding to myofilaments and F-actin were 0.45 and 0.41 μmol/L, respectively. Cross-linking assay demonstrated that 5DFRXXL peptides could bundle F-actin efficiently. Typical F-actin bundles were observed morphologically through determination of confocal and electron microscopy after adding 5DFRXXL peptides. After transfection of pEGFP-5DFRXXL plasmid into eukaryocyte, spike structure was observed around cell membrane edge. We guess that such structure formation may be attributable to F-actin over-bundle formation caused by 5DFRXXL peptides. Therefore, we suppose that L-MLCK may be a new bundling protein and somehow play a certain role in organization of cell skeleton besides mediating cell contraction by it kinase activity.

HSVTK gene therapy for carcinoembryonic antigen-producing human lung cancer cells

The long-term success of gene therapy for cancer relies heavily on the development of effective targeting systems. We investigate the possibility of targeted gene therapy using promoter of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) gene. By using luciferase reporter gene, we found that CEA promoter exhibit 16 times high activity in CEA-producing lung cancer cells, A549 than in nonproducing cells, Hela. We also constructed a recombinant expression plasmid pCEATK, in which CEA promoter drives the effector gene, thymidine kinase gene of Herpes Simplex Virus (HSVTK). A549 cells transfected with pCEATK became 865 times more sensitive to ganciclovir (GCV) than the control cells. However, Hela cells transfected with this plasmid remained resistant to GCV. These data indicate the potential for targeted gene therapy using the CEA promoter against CEA-producing tumor cells, such as lung cancer cells.
