The interaction between Bnip3 and LC3 family members induces mitophagy, which is regulated by the phosphorylation modification on Bnip3. The spliced isoform Bnip3Δex3 can inhibit the pro-apoptotic Bnip3 and is preferentially expressed in several human adenocarcinomas and promotes survival. So far, the 3-D structures of Bnip3、Bnip3Δex3 and their homologues are unavailable. Recently, we have determinated the crystal structure of the complex of phosphopeptide of Bnip3 and LC3B. Besides, we have obtained the crystals of the truncated Bnip3 and LC3B with a resolution up to 3.5Å. In this project we will further refine the complex crystal and try to get the crystals of Bnip3Δex3 as well as Bnip3Δex3-LC3B, and then determine their structures. Based on these structures, on the level of biochemistry and cell biology, we will then engineer a serials of key mutants to elucidate the mechanisms of how the phosphorylation modification on Bnip3 to regulate the interactions between Bnip3 and LC3B to impact the mitophagy, as well as how Bnip3Δex3 to inhibit Bnip3 and then promote the survival of human adenocarcinoma cells. Our study will provide insights into the mechanism of Bnip3 and Bnip3Δex3 regulate mitophagy and apoptosis, and will be helpful for us to better understand the working mechanism of other mitophagy receptors such as Nix and Fundc1 in mammals and ATG32 in yeast.
磷酸化修饰可调节Bnip3与LC3家族成员相互作用介导线粒体自噬。剪切体Bnip3Δex3能抑制促凋亡蛋白Bnip3,促进人多种恶性腺瘤细胞生存。Bnip3、Bnip3Δex3及其同源蛋白的三维结构尚未被报道。最近我们已解出Bnip3磷酸化多肽-LC3B晶体结构,模拟磷酸化Bnip3片段蛋白-LC3B复合物衍射分辨率达3.5Å。本项目将继续优化晶体,尝试获取Bnip3Δex3以及Bnip3Δex3-LC3B的晶体,解析它们结构并基于结构设计关键氨基酸突变体,在生化和细胞水平上阐明磷酸化修饰调控Bnip3与LC3B相互作用介导线粒体自噬,以及Bnip3Δex3抑制Bnip3促进恶性腺瘤细胞生存的分子机理。研究结果将加深对Bnip3、Bnip3Δex3在线粒体自噬和细胞凋亡两个方面的理解,为其它哺乳动物线粒体自噬受体、酵母Atg32介导线粒体自噬的研究提供指导。
