Imaging of the Cytosolic Antibody Receptor TRIM21 / Avbildning av den cytosoliska antikroppsreceptorn TRIM21

Stefánsdóttir, Þórunn January 2022 (has links)
TRIM21 is a cytosolic ubiquitin ligase and an antibody receptor that providesa last line of defense against invading pathogens. By utilizing the diversity ofantibody repertoire to identify pathogens, TRIM21 serves as a link betweenintrinsic cellular defense and adaptive immunity. A variety of diseases havebeen linked to mutations of the TRIM family, including cancer, inflammatorydiseases, and autoimmune diseases. In this project, TRIM21 was producedand purified from Escherichia coli, (E.coli). Protein characterization wasperformed with SDS-PAGE, size exclusion chromatography and cryo-electronmicroscopy (cryo-EM). Previously TRIM21 has been shown to form a dimerwhen produced in SF9. Results from size exclusion chromatography show thatTRIM21 form a larger complex when expressed in E.coli. Cryo-EM resultsshow that the complex structure is more globular than previously thought.Purified TRIM21 was bound to the antibody IC100. SDS-PAGE and sizeexclusion chromatography results show much lower affinity to antibodies thanexpected. / TRIM21 är en cytosolisk ubiquitinligas- och antikroppsreceptor som ger ensista försvarslinje mot invaderande virus. Genom att använda mångfalden avantikroppsrepertoar för att identifiera patogener, fungerar TRIM21 som enlänk mellan inre cellulärt försvar och adaptiv immunitet. En mängd olikasjukdomar har kopplats till mutationer i TRIM-familjen, inklusive cancer,inflammatoriska sjukdomar och autoimmuna sjukdomar. I detta projekt produceradesoch renades TRIM21 från Escherichia coli, (E.coli). Proteinkarakteriseringutfördes med SDS-PAGE, gelfiltreringskromatografi och kryo-elektronmikroskopi(cryo-EM). Tidigare har TRIM21 visat sig bilda en dimer när den producerasi SF9. Resultat från gelfiltrering visar att TRIM21 bildar ett större komplexnär det uttrycks i E.coli. Cryo-EM-resultat visar att den komplexa strukturenär mer klotformig än man tidigare trott. Renad TRIM21 bands till antikroppenIC100. SDS-PAGE och gel-filtrerings resultat visar mycket lägre affinitet tillantikroppar än förväntat.
