基于INAD蛋白复合物的组装机理,在该方案中,开发了一种修饰的亲和纯化加竞争策略,以纯化内源性 果蝇 TRP通道。
果蝇 光转导是已知最快的G蛋白偶联信号通路之一。为了确保该级联反应的特异性和效率,钙(Ca2 +)渗透性阳离子通道瞬时受体电位(TRP)与支架蛋白,失活无后电位D(INAD)紧密结合,并与眼睛特异性蛋白激酶C(ePKC)和磷脂酶Cβ/无受体电位A(PLCβ / NORPA)形成大信号蛋白复合物。然而, 果蝇 TRP通道的生化特性尚不清楚。基于INAD蛋白复合物的组装机理,建立了一种修饰的亲和纯化加竞争策略,以纯化内源性TRP通道。首先,将纯化的组氨酸(His)标记的NORPA 863-1095片段与Ni珠结合并用作诱饵,以从 果蝇 头匀浆中拉下内源性INAD蛋白复合物。然后将过量纯化的谷胱甘肽S-转移酶(GST)标记的TRP 1261-1275片段添加到Ni珠中以与TRP通道竞争。最后,通过尺寸排阻色谱法将上清液中的TRP通道与过量的TRP 1261-1275肽分离。这种方法可以从生化和结构角度研究 果蝇 TRP通道的门控机制。纯化的 果蝇 TRP通道的电生理学特性也可以在未来测量。
光转导是吸收的光子被转换成神经元的电码的过程。它专门在脊椎动物和无脊椎动物中中继视蛋白和随后的G蛋白偶联信号级联。在 果蝇中, 通过使用其五个PDZ结构域,支架蛋白灭活无后电位D(INAD)组织了一个超分子信号传导复合物,该复合物由瞬时受体电位(TRP)通道,磷脂酶Cβ/无受体电位A(PLCβ / NORPA)和眼睛特异性蛋白激酶C(ePKC)1组成。这种超分子信号复合物的形成保证了 果蝇 光转导机制的正确亚细胞定位,高效率和特异性。在这种复杂的光敏TRP通道中充当NORPA的下游效应器,并介导钙流入和光感受器的去极化。先前的研究表明, 果蝇 TRP通道的开放是由质子介导的,破坏局部脂质环境,或机械力2,3,4。 果蝇 TRP通道也与钙调蛋白5 相互作用,并通过正反馈和负反馈6,7,8由钙调节。
到目前为止,关于果蝇TRP和TRP样(TRPL)通道的门控机制的电生理学研究是基于切除的膜贴片,来自解离的野生型果蝇光感受器的全细胞记录,以及S2,SF9或HEK细胞2,9,10,11,12,13中的异质表达通道,但不是在纯化通道上。全长果蝇TRP通道的结构信息也尚不清楚。为了研究纯化蛋白质在重构膜环境中的电生理性质并获得全长果蝇TRP通道的结构信息,获得纯化的全长TRP通道是必要的第一步,类似于哺乳动物TRP通道研究中使用的方法14,15,16,17。
近日,基于INAD蛋白复合物18,19,20的组装机理,首次开发了亲和纯化加竞争策略,通过链霉亲和素珠5从果蝇头匀浆中纯化TRP通道。考虑到链霉亲和素微球的低容量和昂贵的成本,这里引入了一种改进的纯化方案,该方案使用His标记的诱饵蛋白和相应的低成本Ni珠,其容量要高得多。该方法有助于从结构角度研究TRP通道的门控机理,并用纯化的蛋白质测量TRP通道的电生理性质。
INAD包含五个PDZ域,是 果蝇 光转导机制的核心组织者。先前的研究表明,INAD PDZ3与TRP通道C端尾部结合,具有精细的特异性(KD = 0.3μM)18。INAD PDZ45串联与具有极高结合亲和力(KD = 30 nM)的NORPA 863-1095片段相互作用。这些发现为设计亲和纯化加竞争策略提供了坚实的生化基础,使NORPA CC-PBM片段可用作下拉诱饵,而TRP C末端尾部(片段1261-1275)可用作竞争试剂?…
