1、蛋白质翻译后修饰在DNA损伤应答、NF-κB、p53等信号通路中的调控作用

2、肿瘤发生发展重要调控蛋白的作用机制

3、外泌体蛋白在肿瘤转移中的作用和机制

着重开展与人类疾病相关蛋白质的功能研究。利用生物化学、分子生物学、细胞生物学、免疫学和结构生物学等技术方法,研究HSCARG 和hCINAP等蛋白在炎症和肿瘤发生发展中的调节作用、参与的信号通路及分子机制。我们的研究表明HSCARG和hCINAP分别通过影响NF-κB和p53信号通路中重要节点蛋白的泛素化和NEDD化修饰在这些通路中发挥重要的调控作用。HSCARG还参与调控抗病毒固有免疫信号通路,它通过抑制TRAF3的泛素化负调控RIG-I信号通路,最终降低干扰素的生成。此外,HSCARG通过抑制PRC1复合体的E3连接酶活性而调控H2A泛素化水平,通过影响DNA损伤修复后的恢复来影响细胞周期,揭示了H2A泛素化调控细胞周期的新机制。在hCINAP功能的研究中还证明它在核糖体18S rRNA的剪切中的重要作用,并证明hCINAP通过调控肿瘤(干)细胞的代谢影响肿瘤的增殖、耐药和转移。在类泛素化底物的研究中,识别了组蛋白H2A等新的NEDDylation修饰底物蛋白,并探讨它们在DNA损伤应答等重要生理过程中的调控作用和机制。首次证明H2A和PCNA能够发生NEDD化修饰,明确了H2A泛素化和NEDD化修饰之间的关系,并阐明了NEDD化修饰调控DNA损伤修复的分子机理。此外,我们还在鉴定影响肿瘤发展和转移的外泌体蛋白,揭示其在肿瘤转移和恶化中的作用机制。
