초록

신경세포에 특이적으로 발현되는 단백질인 Fe65는 두 개의 phosphotyrosine binding(PTB) 도메인을 가지고 있다. 두번째 PTB(PTB2)도메인은 아밀로이드 베타 전구 단백질(APP)의 세포질 도메인 조각(AICD)와 결합한다. 최근 연구 결과들은 AICD와 Fe65로 이루어진 결합체가 알츠하이머병에서 신경세포를 죽게 하는 유전자를 발현한다고 제시하고 있다. 따라서 Fe65와 AICD의 결합을 방해하는 화합물은 알츠하이머병을 치료하는데 후보물질이 될 수 있다. 하지만 AICD와 Fe65와 관련된 신호전달에 대한 분자적 기전은 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 이번 연구에서는 Fe65의 PTB2도메인을 baculovirus시스템에서 과발현시킨 결과를 보고한다. 세균 및 척추동물 세포를 이용한 시스템과 비교했을 때, baculovirus 시스템 이 훨씬 효과적 이 다는 것을 발견했다. 정제된 재조합 단백질을 이용하여 초기 결정을 얻었다. 결정을 이용하여 앞으로 밝힐 3차원 구조는 Fe65관련 신호전달체계에 대한 분자 기전 및 이에 대한 저해제 개발에 큰 도움을 줄 것이다.

Fe65, a neuron-specific adaptor protein, has two phosphotyrosine binding (PTB) domains. The second PTB (PTB2) domain interacts with intracellular domain fragment (AICD) of amyloid beta precursor protein (APP). Recent studies suggested that tile complex is composed of AICD and Fe65 transactivates genes that are responsible for neuronal cell death in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Therefore, a compound inhibiting the interaction between Fe65 and AICD can be a drug candidate to treat AD. However, it remains unclear how Fe65 recognizes AICD at a molecular level. Here, we report high-level production of the PTB2 domain of Fe65 in the baculovirus system. We found that the baculovirus system is an efficient method to obtain the Fe65 PTB2 domain, compared with the bacterial and mammalian expression systems. The purified recombinant protein was used for crystallization to determine its crystal structure helping to understand the molecular mechanism of Fe65-dependent signaling and to design its inhibitors.
