研究方向:蛋白质翻译后修饰的分子机制及其与疾病发生的关系
蛋白质翻译后修饰(PTMs)是指蛋白质在翻译完成后,通过化学修饰改变其结构和功能的过程,这些修饰包括磷酸化和泛素化等。研究蛋白质翻译后修饰的分子机制,对于理解细胞信号传导、基因表达调控和代谢调控等生物过程具有重要意义。此外,越来越多的研究表明,蛋白质翻译后修饰与多种疾病的发生和发展密切相关。例如,异常的泛素化与癌症、免疫缺陷以及许多神经系统疾病有关。通过深入研究蛋白质翻译后修饰的具体分子机制,我们不仅可以揭示疾病的发生机理,还可能开发出新的诊断和治疗手段。本课题组具体研究以下两个方面:(1)泛素化和ADP核糖基化(ADP-ribosylation)互作的生物学功能研究;(2)非蛋白质泛素化分子机制以及生物学功能研究。
