研究领域

蛋白底物经过一些列酶反应过程与泛素结合而泛素化，蛋白一经泛素化将传递一种信号至蛋白降解系统使得被降解清除。及时清除有害或者过多的蛋白对维持细胞的正常功能极为重要，这种功能紊乱将导致各种疾病的发生如癌症、免疫学疾病等。 Cbl家族蛋白作为一种E3泛素连接酶接头蛋白能够将泛素转移到特定蛋白底物上，我们的研究结果发现Cbl家族成员Cbl-b蛋白分子对于机体T细胞的稳态极为重要，Cbl-b的缺失将会导致T细胞的过度活化以至于形成对自身组织和器官的免疫攻击，最终导致关节炎和糖尿病等的发生。我们也对该家族其他成员进行研究，比如另外一个E3泛素连接酶ITCH ，我们发现其在Th2细胞的分化过程中起着极为重要的作用，后者能释放大量的过敏性介质。ITCH的缺失将会导致Th2的功能异常乃至发生过敏性哮喘。因此，我们的目的就是要深入研究泛素系统在机体免疫调节过程中的作用，以为我们今后设计针对一些免疫疾病如关节炎、糖尿病、哮喘等的干预治疗提供新思路。
