Usp7/HAUSP通过去泛素化Ci/Gli调控Hh信号通路
发布时间：2022-01-09 23:26
Hedgehog （Hh）基因最早是在果蝇中通过EMS诱导的基因突变筛选出来的。Hh信号通路在昆虫到人类的各物种间具有保守性,其主要功能是调节体节形成、胚胎发育以及成体组织稳态。Hh信号通路的功能异常会导致许多人类疾病,包括出生缺陷和多种肿瘤。Hh信号通路的转导是通过转录因子Ci/Gli实现的。在果蝇内,Ci受到两条泛素化途径的调控。在没有Hh的情况下,Ci被Slimb-Cull E3连接酶泛素化,最终导致Ci部分降解。在Hh情况下,Ci被Hib-Cul3 E3连接酶泛素化,导致Ci完全降解。泛素化是一个由酶催化的过程,通过该过程将泛素链加到相应的靶蛋白上。泛素化的主要目的是促进靶蛋白的降解,该降解过程可以通过蛋白酶体或溶酶体。和其他的蛋白修饰一样,泛素化修饰也是一个可逆过程,体内的去泛素化酶可以将连在蛋白上的泛素链去除。虽然泛素化介导的Ci降解在Hh信号通路中起着至关重要的作用,但是去泛素化酶是否参与该过程,目前还未知。在本研究中,通过RNAi介导的筛选,我们找到了一个去泛素化酶Usp7能够正调控Hh信号通路。Usp7能够抑制Slimb-Cull和Hib-Cul3介导的Ci泛素化,最...
