LINK-J & UCサンディエゴ ジョイントウェビナーシリーズ 第10回 with 神戸大学

UCサンディエゴと神戸大学は何年にもわたり生命科学、計算機科学、構造工学の分野で共同研究を進めてきました。特に両校が強みを持つ生物学、生化学における脂質研究は、双方の研究者が重点的に協力してきた分野です。今回新たに開始する「細胞内シグナル伝達と脂質研究」ジョイントウェビナーシリーズでは、UCサンディエゴのセルシグナリングセンターと神戸大学のバイオシグナル総合研究センター及びメディカルトランスフォーメーション研究センターの研究者が最新の研究成果をご紹介します。細胞質膜の脂質組成やタンパク質との相互作用は、細胞の移動だけでなく、細胞分化やアポトーシスにも密接に関連しています。そこで、最初のセッションでは、両校の教授が細胞膜脂質の機能研究に有用な最新のバイオコンジュゲーション法や膜結合タンパク質の重要性について論じます。

Devaraj先生ご講演
"Bioconjugation strategies for revealing the roles of lipids in living cells"

Our laboratory developed and applied different bioconjugation strategies to study the role of lipids and lipid modifications in cells. Inspired by our ongoing work on developing lipid bioconjugation strategies to generate artificial cell membranes, we developed a ceramide synthesis method in live cells using a salicylaldehyde ester that readily reacts with sphingosine in form of a traceless ceramide ligation. Our study not only confirmed existing knowledge about the association of ceramides with cell death, but also gave interesting new findings about the structure-function relationship of ceramides in apoptosis. Our initial efforts led us to investigate probes that detect endogenous sphingolipids using live cell imaging. We describe the development of a fluorogenic probe that reacts chemoselectively with sphingosine in living cells, enabling the detection of elevated endogenous levels of this biomarker in human disease. Building on our interest in the fluorescence labeling of lipids, we have also explored the use of bioorthogonal reactions to label chemically synthesized lipid probes. I will discuss the development of photocaged dihydrotetrazine lipids, where the initiation of the bioorthogonal reaction can be triggered by visible light, allowing for live cell modification of membranes with spatiotemporal control.

伊藤先生ご講演
"Membrane tension and membrane-bending proteins in the regulation of cell migration"

Cells are not simply spherical in shape, but have a variety of shapes according to their functions. When we draw a picture of a cell on paper, the outline usually corresponds to the cell membrane. In other words, the basis of the diversity of cell morphology is the mechanism that controls the shape of the cell membrane. The plasma membrane is subjected to a physical force called membrane tension, which is the sum of (1) the planar tension that pulls the lipid bilayer horizontally and (2) the adhesive force between the plasma membrane and cortical actin. The former is thought to be contributed mainly by the osmotic pressure difference between the inside and outside of the cell, while the latter is thought to be contributed mainly by the interaction between plasma membrane phospholipids and actin-binding proteins. We have identified the F-BAR domain, a conserved region with membrane-deforming activity, and are analyzing its physiological function. The F-BAR domain is conserved in FBP17, which activates the actin polymerization factor N-WASP-Arp2/3, Slit-Robo GAPs (srGAPs), which are RhoGAPs, and Fer and Fes, which are tyrosine kinases. Therefore, F-BAR domain-containing proteins are thought to functionally link actin polymerization to the shape of the plasma membrane. However, the specific mechanism of how the membrane deformation activity of the F-BAR domain regulates actin polymerization in cancer cell invasion and other processes has remained unclear. We recently found that the membrane deformation activity of the F-BAR domain functions as a sensor of plasma membrane "bendability," or membrane tension. Actin polymerization increases plasma membrane tension, and increased membrane tension causes F-BAR domain proteins to dissociate from the plasma membrane. Thus, the parameter of plasma membrane shape provides a scaffold for actin polymerization and may also regulate cell motility through a feedback mechanism mediated by membrane tension.

Dr. Toshiki Itoh, Professor, Biosignal Research Center, Kobe University
Toshiki Itoh graduated from the Faculty of Science at the University of Tokyo and completed his graduate studies in the laboratory of Professor Tadaomi Takenawa. In Takenawa's lab, he was involved in the discovery and functional analysis of phosphoinositide kinases/phosphatases and phosphoinositide-binding proteins. After obtaining his PhD, he was a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Professor Pietro De Camilli at Yale University, where he discovered the F-BAR domain. After returning to Japan, he worked as an associate professor at the Institute of Medical Science, the University of Tokyo, and then as an associate professor at the Graduate School of Medicine, Kobe University before becoming a professor at the Biosignal Research Center, Kobe University. His research interests include the regulation of membrane shape and the mechanisms of cellular function by membrane mechanics.
