通过融合不同信号序列优化人源GPCR-β2AR在酵母交配通路中的信号输出

The Improvement of Human β2 Adrenergic Receptor Signal Output in Yeast Mating Pathway by Addition of Signal Sequence

  • 摘要: G蛋白偶联受体(G protein coupled receptor, GPCR)配体的检测筛选是药物临床等研究的热点。研究探索何种条件下提高β型肾上腺素受体(β2-adrenergic receptor,β2AR)在酿酒酵母(Saccharomyces cerevisiae)中传递信号的灵敏度以及反应时间,可以为配体等筛选研究(检测)奠定基础。首先,使用酿酒酵母α因子prepro序列、pre序列、酵母内源GPCR Ste2 N端、转化酶Suc2 N端作为信号序列分别与β2AR融合表达,通过荧光显微镜观察其在酵母中的定位。其次,构建敲除内源GPCR交配通路相关基因的菌株,替换内源G蛋白α亚基为哺乳动物G蛋白α亚基或者α亚基嵌合体Gpa1-Gαs-transplant,之后转入pFUS1-GFP或者pFUS1-Rluc报告基因系统。最后,使用异丙肾上腺素作为配体观察并比较激活后的输出信号。本研究成功构建出了能检测到交配通路信号的酵母菌株,并且发现使用信号序列将异源β2型肾上腺素受体定位到细胞膜上对于信号的输出强度有着促进的作用。与此同时,本实验还发现12 h配体孵育时间以及100μmol/L配体浓度是检测本通路信号的最佳条件。该研究对于未来探索更多的异源GPCR在酵母中成功表达和激活信号通路具有重要意义。

     

    Abstract: Applying G protein coupled receptor(GPCR) to test and screen specific ligand has always been the hot spot in scientific research. Research which was aimed to find out the optimal experimental conditions to improve the β2 AR(β2 adrenergic receptor) signal transduction in yeast by reducing the testing time would lay the foundation for ligand screening. First, we appended mammalian GPCR with yeast α factor prepro sequence, pre sequence, endogenous GPCR Ste2, invertase Suc2 N terminus as signal sequence. Fluorescent microscope was used to check the location of GPCR. Second, we constructed a yeast strain in which mating pathway related genes have been deleted and endogenous G protein α subunit was substituted by Gpa1-Gαs-transplant and mammalian Gαs. In addition to this, pFUS1-GFP and pFUS1-Rluc reporter systems were transformed into it and isoproterenol was applied as ligand to analyze the ligand-induced signal. Finally, the engineered yeast strains which included ligand induced signaling pathway have been successfully constructed. This experiment made a conclusion that plasma membrane located β2 AR could improve the signal transduction. Furthermore, this approach provided the optimal condition including 12 h ligand incubation time and 100 μmol/L ligand concentration, which will have an important influence on the heterogenous expression of GPCR in yeast.
