研究室簡介

  • Fin219-FIP1 複合體結構與功能分析

FIN219(Far-red insensitive 219)又稱為JAR1(Jasmonate Resistant 1),為一575個胺基酸組成的蛋白質,屬阿拉伯芥(Arabidopsis thaliana)GH3蛋白質家族。此蛋白於植物中透過將吲哚乙酸(indole-3-acetic acid, IAA)和茉莉酸(Jasmonic acid, JA)等植物賀爾蒙和胺基酸接合來調控賀爾蒙在植物體內的恆定性,進而影響到植物的生長發育以及抗病蟲害之能力。FIN219的功能可分為以下二個方向:
 

(i)  和光型態發生(Photomorphogenesis)有關
光形態發生由吸收紅光及遠紅光的光敏素和吸收UV-A及藍光的隱花色素所共同調控。在遠紅光照射下,阿拉伯芥的fin219突變體幼苗具有下胚軸伸長的外表型,並做為cop1的基因外抑制體(Hsieh et al., 2000)。另外,GST(glutathione S-transferases)蛋白質基因fip1(FIN219-interacting protein 1),它所產生的蛋白質被證實可與FIN219的C端作用(Hsieh et al., 2007) 

 

(ii)  和植物賀爾蒙調節有關
茉莉酸在植物中扮演重要的訊息傳遞角色,其牽涉了生長發育、抗病蟲害以及植物傷的傳遞途徑。然而在分子層次上對於茉莉酸的了解十分有限,目前已知,植物中有許多茉莉酸和胺基酸接和的小分子,例如:JA-Leu,JA-Val和JA-Phe,係由JAR1催化茉莉酸和氨基酸接合,其中以JA和Ile的親和度最大。以JAR1的阿拉伯芥突變株jar1-1來說,添加JA-Ile在培養基中可抑制幼苗下胚軸的延長,這和JAR1的野生型具有一致性。JAZ(jasmonate ZIM-domain)蛋白質家族被認為是調控茉莉酸訊息傳遞的重要關鍵,JAZ1平時可以抑制茉莉酸反應相關基因(jasmonate-responsive gene)的轉錄,但經過茉莉酸處理後,會造成JAZ1在細胞核中的降解,進而促進茉莉酸反應相關基因的表現,其降解機制就是透過SCFCOI1 (Skp/Cullin/F-box complex),一種泛素作用接合酶 (E3 ubiquitin ligase),蛋白質間的交互作用完成。而促進Col1和JAZ1的交互作用產生的就是小分子JA-Ile,顯示JAR1可能是調控茉莉酸傳遞途徑以及相關蛋白質量上的重要樞紐。本研究成果發表於Proc.

先前已完成的研究主題

蛋白質結構與功能是後基因體時代,極受重視的領域,由結構與功能分析提供分子層次的立體觀點。
我們運用蛋白質晶體學之技術,解析生物巨分子 (含DNA、RNA及蛋白質)之三維結構,探討結構、功能、分子演化及相關生物訊息。
目前我們的研究方向為:

1.生質能源:
綠竹纖維素合成酶之蛋白質結構與功能分析植物細胞壁主要由纖維素(cellulose)、半纖維素(hemicellulose)、果膠(pectin)、及二次代謝物所組成。纖維素佔細胞壁組成50%以上,是地球上含量最豐富的生物質(biomass)。植物細胞負責生產纖維素的酵素為纖維素合成酶複合體(cellulose synthase complex, CSC),其中纖維素合成酶(cellulose synthase, CesA)是催化核心,作為合成長鏈糖供纖維素合成酶複合體產出微纖維(microfibril),並進一步形成植物細胞壁。竹子是生長速度最快的植物,日平均生長可達25公分,顯示其纖維素合成也需要配合其生長速度。本研究分析綠竹纖維素合成酶(Bambusa oldhamii Cellulose synthases, BoCesAs)之蛋白質結構與其生物物理特性,綠竹纖維素合成酶有10種(BoCesA1~10),目前已利用酵母菌表現系統,醱酵槽大量培養及蛋白質快速純化儀成功表現BoCesA1, 2, 3, 4, 5 及 7等蛋白,將陸續進行後續酵素活性分析方法之開發,蛋白質結晶結構分析及相關生物物理的研究。終極目標是解析綠竹纖維素合成酶複合體的結構,以探究植物纖維素合成的分子機制。 

2.表觀遺傳調控蛋白研究:
植物去乙醯基酶HDAs之生化與生物物理研究組蛋白去乙醯基酶(Histone deacetylases, HDAs)參與調控植物生長、發育與植物回應逆境反應所需的基因表現。HDAs的酵素活性作用為移除組蛋白上之乙醯基,促使組蛋白與DNA形成緊密結合,結果將造成染色質濃縮使位於該區域的基因無法表現。在阿拉伯芥共有18個HDA,可分為三個家族:分別為RPD3/HDA1-like家族,HD2家族及Sirtuin家族,其中RPD3/HDA1-like家族成員最多,可以細分為三群,本研究主要針對第二群的HDA5, HDA15及HDA18進行研究。其他HDAs亦將陸續進行研究。目前我們已將第二群的去乙醯基酶活性區域分別構築出來,並進行活性分析比較與蛋白質結構解析,其中HDA15的活性與聚合形式受其N端及C端的影響,有助於了解其分子作用機制方式。由於表觀遺傳研究近幾年來研究十分熱門,其交互作用的蛋白質相當多,因此本研究主題除探討HDAs結構外,亦將會針對相關HDAs的結合蛋白,如轉錄因子及轉譯後修飾作用蛋白等,探討其共同調控基因表現的方式。若能將這些互作蛋白與HDAs的結構解析出來,對於表觀遺傳研究,將會是一項重大的突破。

3.藥物設計與開發: MTH1之抑制劑結構及其抑制效率分析
MutT Homolog 1 (MTH1)已被證實具有水解氧化的核甘三磷酸(nucleotide triphosphates, dNTPs),以避免錯誤的核甘併入DNA複製,造成基因突變。在癌細胞中,容易產生高量的過氧化物,造成DNA損壞,MTH1則可藉由移除氧化的dNTP,以避免癌細胞進入細胞凋亡的程序。MTH1在正常細胞中表現量少,而在癌細胞中則會大量表現,因此抑制MTH1活性,將可能作為抑制癌細胞的藥物,促使癌細胞進入細胞凋亡。本研究與藥學系合作開發,初期共同篩選2300多筆片段化合物(fragment based compound library),利用中研院超高速藥物篩選系統(ultra high throughput drug system),找到4個化合物具有MTH1抑制能力,我們分析了這4個化合物的IC50及酵素動力學,並解出其中3個化合物與MTH1的蛋白質結構,未來將以這3個化合物結構為基礎,進一步設計新的化合物,分析MTH1抑制效率及對癌細胞生長的影響,這些結果將可提供有價值的藥物設計開發,並測試在動物系統的實驗成效。

  • Ipomoelin - 甘藷葉中受創傷及Jasmonate誘導之糖結合蛋白

Lectin在植物中為一群糖結合蛋白的超級家族(superfamily),當植物在遭受生物逆境時,如食草動物啃食造成創傷時,會大量表現這類蛋白,因此被視為植物在遭受動物取食時所產生的防禦性蛋白之一。 Ipomoelin(IPO)來自於甘藷(sweet potato),在甘藷受蟲害侵擾時,大量表現於葉部。在經分析後,可被歸類為一群糖結合蛋白,稱為Jacalin-related Lectin,這群在結構上由單一蛋白摺疊成一個beta-三稜形(beta-prism)單體,再進一步組成四合體(tetramer)。 目前已知這群Jacalin-related Lectin具有結構多樣性的特徵,意思是指這群蛋白由相似的三稜形單體,可組成不同形式的雙體(dimer)、四合體(tetramer)、六合體(hexamer)及八合體(octomer)等。 
IPO在經過結構解析後,發現它具有額外的N端構造,可形成較緊密的四合體,此與目前在Jacalin這群所形成的四合體不太相同,雖然它們都由beta-三稜形的單體所組成,但在組合上卻甚為多變,這種多變性可提供蛋白質交互作用(Protein-protein interaction)的有用訊息。 另外,我們亦將methyl-alpha-D-mannose、methyl-alpha-D-glucose和(唾液酸)sialic acid等醣類,與IPO共結晶,取得複合體結構,經比較這些糖的結合模式,可以提供IPO對糖類結合的特異性,將有助這類糖結合蛋白在糖蛋白分析上的運用。PLoS ONE (2012) 7: e40618.

  • 植物抗蟲及抗菌之蛋白-半胱胺酸蛋白酶抑制劑之結構分析​​

Tarocystatin為一半胱胺酸蛋白酶抑制劑的一種,為芋頭中大量表達的一種蛋白酶抑制劑,目前針對此類蛋白酶抑制劑的研究,主要在於其對應蛋白酶(如木瓜酶papain)的抑制活性分析。由於真菌、線蟲及昆蟲等攝取植物,需經半胱胺酸蛋白酶的作用,因此植物藉由大量的蛋白酶抑制劑來達成減少或避免這些生物的入侵。 我們將Tarocystatin與木瓜酶共結晶,並以x光晶體繞射技術分析這個複合體結構,確立其蛋白酶抑制模式與動物中之結合模式類似,顯示在演化的過程中,這類半胱酸蛋白酶抑制劑是以類似的結構來達成植物抗蟲目的。除此之外,我們亦藉由抑制活性分析來完成Tarocystatin之抑制能力分析,接下來我們將目標放在C端結構。 

Tarocystatin屬植物半胱胺酸蛋白酶抑制劑(Phytocystatins)家族,本家族依分子量可分為三群:第一群分子量最小,約100個胺基酸具有單一CY domain,以水稻OC-1為代表,其蛋白質結構,以NMR方法於2000年解出,由Nagata等人發表於Biochemistry;第二群分子量較大,約205-250個胺基酸,以Tarocystatin為代表,可分為二個domain,一為與第一群序列相似的N端,為主要抑制區域,另一個C端延伸區,可能具有類似CY domain結構,不具抑制功能。第三群為重覆CY domain所組成的蛋白酶抑制劑,具有約750個胺基酸有6~8個CY domain,以馬鈴薯(Potato)PMC為代表,其結構由Nissen等人發表於今年Plant cell(2009)。

在此我們的研究重點在第二群的Tarocystatin,此一特色在於本蛋白多了一段C端的CY-like domain,並不具有抑制劑的功能,因此我們嘗試將Tarocystatin與papain共結晶,希望能夠解出全長的Tarocystatin與papain的晶體結構,這將是Phytocystatins與papain的第一個複合體結構,同時也能提供重要的分子演化訊息。由於與具有活性的木瓜酶共結晶有其困難度,根據之前文獻指出,在許多狀況之下,僅有木瓜酶結構能被解析出來,雖然如此,我們仍嘗試進行其複合結構試驗。

在經過二年不斷蛋白質表達、純化、共結晶條件篩選之後,終於在一特定結晶條件,經一個月長出複合體晶體,經以同步輻射繞射分析後,取得解析度2.03Å的複合體結構,有趣的是,僅有N端CY domain與木瓜酶以1:1的方式結合,C端結構則無法被觀察到,此現象似乎意味著,C端的可能先與木瓜酶結合,以提高其N端的抑制能力。另外,我們亦設計不同片段,如全長、N端與C端及與GST結合與否,測試N端與C端的結合能力,經以Glutaraldehyde cross-linking 及yeast two hybrid 試驗分析,顯示Tarycystatin絕大部分為N端與C端分離的;少部分可以形成分子內結合;另外,亦有一部分可以透過N端與N端的結合,形成homodimer。最後我們亦測試其抑制能力的差異,結果發現GST-FL抑制木瓜酶的能力最好,GST-Nt 與FL次之,Nt抑制能力在這裏則是最弱,另外,GST-Ct則有促進木瓜酶活性的能力。由此結果表示Ct的出現對於提高抑制能力是相當重要的。 Planta.

  • 植物在遭受非生物(缺水)逆境時,葉綠體中大量表現的抗逆境蛋白TLP18.3之結構與功能分析

關於TLP18.3之研究報告相當的少,在經剔除(knock out)實驗中,沒有明顯外表型出現,顯示其可能有類似蛋白同時存在葉綠體內,執行相似作用,顯示其重要性。根據推測TLP18.3可能參與光合系統II(PSII)的光修復作用,由於光合系統在長時間作用下,其D1蛋白易受光的破壞,此時即需要週邊蛋白來協助移除受損蛋白,此時TLP18.3即有可能執行此一重要任務,惟其分子功能並不清楚!因此本研究即是利用結構與功能的相關性,嘗試以X光晶體繞射研究,解析其結構,並藉由結構比對找出其可能之分子功能。 
由於TLP18.3蛋白不具甲硫胺酸,因此前二年即針對本蛋白的表達、純化、定點突變,進行許多測試,並分別取得native TLP18.3高解析繞射數據(解析度達1.52Å),及運用TLP18.3突變體(解析度2.6Å),以單波長不尋常散射法(SAD)取得相角後,運用建模軟體及修正程式完成蛋白質結構解析。在經結構比對後,幾個相近的結構具有酸性磷解酶活性,因此推測此一蛋白可能具有類似磷解酶活性,進一步設計活性分析,以受質pNPP進行序列酵素濃度、pH值、溫度、去除結合離子實驗,顯示其確實具有磷解酶活性功能。TLP18.3僅具有單一Domain,屬未知的家族DUF477(pfam),在光合菌、藻類、植物及原核生物中,皆具有類似的蛋白,預計此一高解析的蛋白質結構將能提供這個家族的重要結構與功能資訊。 Plant Physiol.
