摘要
L1细胞粘附分子(L1cell adhesion molecular,L1CAM)属于神经细胞粘附分子,是属于免疫球蛋白超家族的Ⅰ型跨膜糖蛋白.L1主要在神经系统中表达,参与神经系统发育,学习记忆等重要过程作用.L1的胞内区可能参与信号转导,对于L1的功能非常重要,为探讨L1胞内区信号转导的分子机制,以L1胞内区为诱饵运用酵母双杂交技术在人脑cDNA文库中筛选其结合蛋白,挑选阳性克隆,进行DNA序列分析和同源检索,阳性克隆编码几个不同的蛋白质,其中一个候选蛋白为PAX6转录因子.为进一步验证L1胞内区和PAX6的相互作用,克隆其基因到表达质粒共转染COS-7细胞,免疫共沉淀证实了L1胞内区和PAX6的相互作用,提示L1胞内区可能参与转录调节,为深入探讨其功能提供了重要线索.
L1 cell adhesion molecular is a type I membrane glycoprotein of immtmoglobulin superfamily. L1 is expressed mainly in nervous system and plays important roles in nervous system development, learning and memory. L1 cytoplasmic domain （L1CD） is important for L1 function by mediating signaling. To investigate the molecular mechanisms of signaling mediated by L1CD, yeast two-hybrid assay was carried out to screen the human brain cDNA library using LICD as the bait. After sequence analysis and BLAST, several candidates were identified. One candidate is PAX6 transcription factor. L1CD and PAX6 cDNA were cloned in expression vectors and cotransfected into COS-7 cells. The interaction between L1CD and PAX6 was verified by co-immunoprecipitation assay. These preliminary results suggest that L1CD may be involved in transcription regulation.
