摘  要:利用自行构建的光镊系统,通过in vitro单分子力谱测量,在单分子水平研究了RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK信号传导通路中的重要信号传导蛋白RAF与其上游G蛋白RAS结合的势垒形态。RAS与野生型RAF的单分子结合力分布情况显示,RAS-RAF结合至少涉及RAS结合区(RAS binding domain,RBD)及半胱氨酸富集区(cysteine rich domain,CRD)两个作用位点。而RAS与RAF突变体RAF(Q257R)的单分子结合力分布,存在两个以上的结合域:最可几力为95 pN的包络对应RAS-RAF[RBD]结合;最可几力为117 pN的包络对应RAS-RAF[CRD]结合;最可几力为159 pN的包络对应RAS-RAF[RBD]和RAS-RAF[CRD]同时存在(叠加)时的相互作用。而且在大于200 pN的范围(光镊有效量程之外),RAS与RAF(Q257R)的结合力仍然有相当的概率分布。这说明,突变体RAF(Q257R)比其野生型更易于与RAS结合,且可能涉及新的结合位点。该发现对解释Q257R的致病机理及设计拮抗剂均有重要指导意义。RAF plays an important function in the RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK cell signaling pathway.The single-molecule force spectroscopy of RAS-RAF interaction in vitro measured by a home-built optical tweezers system is presented to illustrate the interaction conformation of RAF protein and its upstream G-protein(RAS protein) in single-molecule level.The single-molecule force distribution of RAS and RAF(wild type,WT) shows that at least two domains are involved in the process of RAS-RAF interaction,they are RAS binding domain(RBD) and cysteine-rich domain(CRD),respectively.By comparing the single-molecule force distribution of RAS-RAF(Q257R) to RAS-RAF(WT),we found that there existed more than two interaction domains in the RAS-RAF(Q257R) interaction: the most probable distribution related to peak 95 pN indicated RAS-RAF interaction;the most probable distribution related to peak 117 pN indicated RAS-RAF interaction,the most probable distribution related to peak 159 pN indicated these two interactions happening simultaneously.Also we found that there existed some higher forces(200 pN) in RAS-RAF(Q257R) interaction process,which beyonded the reliable range of optical tweezers.It means that interaction of RAS-RAF(Q257R) is stronger than that of RAS-RAF(WT) and the former may involve new interaction domains.These findings will have important significance to explain the pathogenesis of RAF(Q257R)mutation and design inhibitor.
