摘要: 泛素连接酶E4B通过U-box基序可将经泛素活化酶(Ubiquitin-activating enzyme,E1)和泛素结合酶(Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme,E2)传递的泛素(Ubiquitin,UB)标记至底物蛋白质。探究3个蛋白质:金属蛋白酶M20家族蛋白质2(Peptidase M20 domain-containing protein 2,PM20D2)、多腺苷酸结合蛋白质1(Polyadenylate-binding protein 1,PABPC1)、细胞色素C氧化酶I翻译激活剂(Translational activator of cytochrome C oxidase I,TACO1)是否可被E4B介导泛素化。从HEK293细胞中提取总RNA,反转录为cDNA,以其为模板调取底物基因并构建重组质粒,利用大肠杆菌表达系统表达并纯化泛素化过程所需的各个相关蛋白质,通过蛋白质体外泛素化实验,对3个蛋白质进行泛素化验证。结果表明3个蛋白质均可以在蛋白质水平被E4B泛素化,证明3个蛋白质都是 E4B的底物,为进一步在细胞中研究其泛素化的机理奠定基础。

Abstract: Ubiquitin ligase E4B can transfer ubiquitin (UB) that comes from ubiquitin-activating enzyme (E1) and ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (E2) to substrates via U-box motif. Three proteins such as peptidase M20 domain-containing protein 2 (PM20D2), polyadenylate-binding protein 1 (PABPC1), and translational activator of cytochrome C oxidase I (TACO1) ubiquitinated by E4B were verified. Total RNA was extracted from HEK293 cells and reverse-transcribed into cDNA. The cDNA was used as template for obtaining the genes of substrates by PCR, and recombinant plasmids were constructed with genes of substrates and vector, respectively. E. coli system was used to express proteins which were required for the ubiquitination of E4B substrates. Result showed that PM20D2, PABPC1 and TACO1 could be ubiquitinated by E4B.The result indicated that all the three proteins were the substrates of E4B, which would lay a foundation for the further study of the mechanism of ubiquitination in cells.
