    摘要:

    脂多糖(LPS)的识别和信号转导是宿主发生防御反应的关键,Toll样受体4(TLR4)与髓样分化蛋白-2(MD-2)形成复合物在LPS的识别及其信号转导中发挥了重要作用.研究TLR4与MD-2结合的功能结构域,对于深入了解LPS信号转导机制及其内毒素休克的防治具有重要意义.运用基于强度的三通道荧光共振能量转移技术(FRET)及基因突变和转染技术,研究了活细胞TLR4与MD-2作用的结构域.结果表明:N端Glu24~Met41缺失使TLR4与MD-2结合能力明显下降;LPS刺激后TLR4聚合迅速增加,而缺失Glu24~Met41的TLR4不能聚合.上述结果提示,TLR4的Glu24~Met41不仅是结合MD-2的区域,并且还参与了LPS刺激后TLR4的聚合作用.

    Abstract:

    TLR4-MD-2 complex plays a key role in LPS recognition and its signal transduction. These steps are the vital elements of the host’s defensive reaction. Studying the functional domain of TLR4 and MD-2 is very important to further understand the mechanism of LPS signal transduction. It was studied the interaction domain of TLR4 and MD-2 in living cells based on gene mutation, gene transfection and fluorescence resonance energy tramsfer(FRET) which is considered as one of the best methods used for intracellular protein-protein interaction study. CY-15P which was fused by CFP and YFP through 15 neutral amino acids was used as positive control, while co-expressed CFP and YFP proteins were used as negative control. The results showed that the ability of TLR4 binding to MD-2 decreased dramatically after the deletion of Glu24~Met41 in N terminal of TLR4. Aggregation of TLR4 to LPS stimulation was observed, however, TLR4 without the Glu24~Met41 mutation did not aggregate. All these results indicated that TLR4 Glu24~Met41 might be the interaction domain of TLR4 binding to MD-2 and participate in the aggregation effect of TLR4 upon LPS stimulation.
