The invention discloses a mitochondrial transcriptional regulatory factor Mt-
CREB and application thereof in screening and preparing a
drug for resisting
brain aging. According to the present invention, based on the characteristic that the mitochondrial
circular DNA has the conservative cAMP reaction element sequence CRE, the CREBWT capable of selectively identifying and combining the CRE or the
amino acid RRPSYR
mutant CREBDIEDML of the CREBWT at the 130-135th site is adopted as the key element of the
gene enhancement regulation, and the CREBWT or the CREBDIEDML is selectively positioned to the mitochondria by using the
mitochondrial targeting sequence so as to achieve the detection and the regulation of the mitochondrial
gene expression enhancement; on one hand, the invention discloses an
amino acid sequence of the Mt-CREBDIEDML, a
nucleotide sequence for coding the Mt-CREBDIEDML, an
expression vector containing the
nucleotide sequence, and an application of the Mt-CREBDIEDML in preparation of a
drug for resisting
brain aging; on the other hand, the invention discloses a
fluorescence and / or chemiluminiscence detection method for screening the anti-
brain aging drugs by using the Mt-CREBWT. Through research on biochemical indexes,
immunohistochemistry,
gene expression level and the like, a new way is provided for preparing and screening anti-brain aging drugs and treating memory decline caused by aging.
