Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of neurobiology, and in particular to a method for studying the binding mode between TBCB and EB molecules at the positive end of a microtubule. Background Art

[0002] Microtubules are key components of the cytoskeleton and are essential for maintaining cell structure, participating in cell division, and transporting substances. The basic unit of microtubules is tubulin, which mainly includes α-tubulin and β-tubulin. These protein subunits polymerize to form long tubular structures, and their functions are regulated by a variety of microtubule-related proteins.

[0003] End-binding proteins (EBs), especially EB1 and EB3, play a crucial role in the dynamic instability of microtubules. They regulate the polymerization of microtubules by recognizing and binding to the positive (growing) ends of microtubules. In addition, EBs serve as scaffolds for a variety of microtubule-associated proteins and signaling molecules, facilitating the recruitment of these proteins to the positive ends of microtubules and the local regulation of microtubule dynamics.

[0004] Tubulin Folding Cofactor B (TBCB) is a recently discovered molecular chaperone protein that has important effects on microtubule structure and function. It is involved in the folding and stability maintenance of tubulin and plays a key role in neural development and disease. Although TBCB is known to affect the growth and stability of microtubules, its exact mechanism of action has not been clarified, especially the details of how it interacts with the positive ends of microtubules through EB1 and EB3 remain unknown.

[0005] Although existing research methods such as co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) and Western blot have revealed the interaction between proteins to a certain extent, they lack in-depth analysis of the fine interaction patterns between TBCB and EBs. In addition, these methods often have difficulty in accurately revealing the specific domains of interaction, which limits our understanding of the function of TBCB and its potential role in neurological diseases.

[0006] Therefore, developing a new research method that can accurately describe and analyze the binding mode of TBCB and EB molecules at the positive end of microtubules is of great significance for advancing the research on microtubule biology, neuroscience and treatment strategies for related diseases.

[0056] The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0057] Embodiment 1:

[0058] A method for studying the binding mode of TBCB and EB molecules at the positive end of microtubules, which is divided into two parts of experiments:

[0059] The first part of the experiment: clarify the binding relationship between TBCB and EB1 / EB3, and between EB1 and EB3.

[0060] First, normal TBCB and EB1, TBCB and EB3, EB1 and EB3 protein plasmids were transfected into HT22 cells, or the three plasmids were transfected into HT22 cells at the same time. Then, TBCB and EB1, TBCB and EB3, EB1 and EB3 protein antibodies or antibodies of the three proteins were used to perform CO-IP experiments, and the expression effect was detected by Western blot to determine whether the two or three proteins in the experiment can bind.

[0061] The second part of the experiment: clarify the binding sites of TBCB, EB1, and EB3.

[0062] On the basis of the first part of the experiment, according to the determined protein domains of TBCB, EB1, and EB3, protein mutant plasmids with the relevant domains removed were constructed. Then, the constructed TBCB and EB1, TBCB and EB3, EB1 and EB3, or the constructed protein mutant plasmids were transfected into HT22 cells together, and the proteins were collected within a certain period of time. The CO-IP experiment was performed with separate protein antibodies, and the protein expression effect was detected by Western blot to determine the specific domains of TBCB, EB1, and EB3 binding, and to clarify the binding mode between the three.

[0063] The method specifically comprises the following steps:

[0064] S1: Construction of expression vectors: Construct expression vectors containing TBCB, EB1 and EB3 gene sequences respectively. These vectors should contain appropriate promoters, enhancers and other necessary regulatory elements to ensure efficient expression of the target genes in host cells.

[0065] S2: Transfection of host cells: Select a suitable cell line (such as HT22 cells) as a host cell, and transfect the constructed expression vectors into the host cell alone or in combination. Transfection can be performed by electroporation, liposome-mediated or other effective methods.

[0066] S3: Protein expression and purification: After transfection, the host cells are cultured for a period of time to allow protein expression. The cells are then harvested, lysed and the target protein is purified using methods such as affinity chromatography, gel filtration chromatography, etc.

[0068] S5: Western blot analysis: CO-IP samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE electrophoresis, and then the proteins were transferred to a membrane for Western blot analysis. Specific antibodies against TBCB, EB1, and EB3 were used to detect the presence and relative amount of target proteins.

[0069] S6: Domain mutation experiments: To further identify the specific binding sites between TBCB and EB1 / EB3, a series of mutants with deletion or replacement of specific domains can be constructed. These mutants can be transfected into host cells and the above CO-IP and Western blot experiments can be repeated to determine which domains are critical for protein interaction.

[0070] S7: Data Analysis: Collect and analyze experimental data, use statistical software to assess the significance of the results, and adjust experimental conditions as needed.

[0071] The construction of the expression vector of S1 specifically comprises the following steps:

[0072] S11: design primers;

[0073] S12: Gene cloning;

[0074] S13: enzyme digestion and ligation;

[0075] S14: transform host cells;

[0076] S15: Screening and identification.

[0077] The S2 transfection host cell specifically comprises the following steps:

[0078] S21: Preparation of plasmid DNA: Extract and purify high-purity plasmid DNA from the screened positive bacterial clones.

[0079] S22: Cell culture: Host cells, such as HT22 cells, are cultured under appropriate culture conditions to a confluence of 70-80%.

[0081] S24: Change medium: 4-6 hours after transfection, replace with fresh complete medium to remove the transfection reagent and reduce cell stress.

[0082] The protein expression and purification of S3 specifically includes the following steps:

[0083] S31: Induced expression: Add inducer (such as IPTG) at an appropriate time after transfection to induce protein expression under optimized conditions;

[0084] S32: Collect cells: After an appropriate expression time, collect cells and obtain cell pellets by centrifugation;

[0088] S41: Prepare antibodies: Select specific antibodies against TBCB, EB1 and EB3;

[0089] S42: Cell lysis: Cells transfected and expressing the target protein are lysed using mild non-denaturing conditions;

[0090] S43: Immunoprecipitation: Cell lysate is incubated with specific antibodies, and then protein A / G agarose beads are added to capture the antibody-antigen complex;

[0091] S44: Washing and elution: Non-specifically bound proteins are removed by multiple washes, and finally the target protein complex is eluted from the beads with elution buffer.

[0092] The Western blot analysis of S5 specifically includes the following steps:

[0093] S51: electrophoretic separation: the CO-IP samples were separated by SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis;

[0094] S52: Transfer: Transfer the separated proteins from the gel to a solid support (such as PVDF or nitrocellulose membrane);

[0099] S62: Statistical analysis: Use statistical methods (such as t-test or ANOVA) to compare the significance of differences between different sample groups;

[0100] S63: Structure-function correlation analysis: Compare the results of mutation experiments with those of wild-type proteins to determine the impact of key domains on function;

[0101] S64: Organize data.

[0102] like Figure 2-4 As shown in the previous study, TBCB, EB1, and EB3 were co-expressed in mouse neurons and astrocytes, and knocking down any one of the three would lead to reduced expression of the other two proteins. In order to study the connection between the three, we designed His-ΔEB1 plasmid and Myc-ΔEB3 plasmid with EEY / FCOO domain knockout, and constructed TBCB with Flag tag, EB1 with His tag, and EB3 overexpression plasmid with Myc tag.

[0103] like Figure 2 , we overexpressed Flag-TBCB, His-EB1, Myc-EB3, His-ΔEB1, and Myc-ΔEB3 in mouse hippocampal neuron HT22 cells, respectively, and verified the overexpression efficiency of the plasmids.

[0104] Subsequently, TBCB+EB1, TBCB+EB3, EB1+EB3, TBCB+ΔEB1, TBCB+ΔEB3, ΔEB1+EB3, and EB1+ΔEB3 were co-transfected into HT22 cells. CO-IP experiments were then performed, as Figure 3 It was found that TBCB was co-expressed with EB1 and EB3 in HT22 cells, and EB1 and EB3 were also co-expressed; Figure 4 , while TBCB cannot interact with EB1 and EB3 lacking the EEY / FCOO domain, and EB1 and EB3 lacking the EEY / FCOO domain cannot bind to each other.

[0105] in conclusion:

[0106] 1. TBCB binds to EB1 and EB3 and acts on the positive end of microtubules through interaction with them.

[0107] 2. TBCB mainly interacts with the EEY / FCOO domains of EB1 and EB3, helping TBCB bind to microtubules.
