Definitions
- the invention relates to compositions and methods for identifying modulators of signal transduction in cells, particularly signal transduction related to cell surface receptors and ion channels.
- GPCRs G-protein coupled receptors
- GPCRs mediate signal transduction across a cell membrane upon the binding of a ligand to an extracellular portion of a GPCR.
- the intracellular portion of a GPCR interacts with a G-protein to modulate signal transduction from outside to inside a cell.
- a GPCR is therefore said to be "coupled" to a G-protein.
- G-proteins are composed of three polypeptide subunits: an ⁇ subunit, which binds and hydolyzes GTP, and a dimeric ⁇ subunit. In the basal, inactive state, the G-protein exists as a heterotrimer of the ⁇ and ⁇ subunits.
- GDP guanosine diphosphate
- GTP guanine triphosphate
- active G ⁇ subunit disassociates from both the receptor and the dimeric ⁇ subunit.
- the disassociated, active G ⁇ subunit transduces signals to effectors that are "downstream" in the G-protein signaling pathway within the cell.
- the G-protein's endogenous GTPase activity returns active G subunit to its inactive state, in which it is associated with GDP and the dimeric ⁇ subunit.
- Transducisome proteins as described further herein, assembly and organize many types of signal transduction proteins using PDZ domains to permit or enhance signal transduction.
- Cells respond to a wide variety of external signals mediated by cell surface receptors that transduce extracellular stimuli into an intracellular response. Although receptors that recognize different ligands are known to interact with the same intracellular signaling molecules, the specificity of signaling, often essential to a cell's physiological role, is maintained. How is this specificity maintained, or rather, how is signal cross talk avoided?
- One solution involves organizing different signaling cascades into physically and functionally distinct signaling units. Such assemblies can permit or enhance signal response time, specificity and selectivity while minimizing cross talk. Until the advent of present invention, know little was known about the architectural organization of the corresponding signaling machinery or how it can be used to discover useful modulators of signal transduction.
- Transducisome refers to a PDZ domain containing protein that binds at least one signal transduction protein or a PDZ domain containing protein with at least one signal transduction protein bound to it (see FIG. 1 A-C). Other types of transducisomes are described herein.
- the invention includes methods for identifying modulators of signal transduction comprising contacting a transducisome in a biochemical assay, cell assay or animal assay, with a test chemical and detecting a change in signal transduction.
- the invention includes animals (e.g., mice and flies), cells (e.g., mammalian and insect), with transducisomes, modified transducisomes and defective transducisomes to use in assays of signal transduction.
- the invention also includes proteins (as well as polynucleotides encoding the same) corresponding to transducisomes, modified transducisomes or defective transducisomes to use in assays of signal transduction.
- the invention also includes a screening assay system for detecting protein-protein interactions.
- This screening assay system comprises a recombinant protein comprising at least one PDZ domain; a PDZ binding protein; and at least one test chemical.
- the recombinant protein or the PDZ binding protein or both have a label to facilitate the detection of specific binding.
- the recombinant protein has a donor and the PDZ binding protein has a quencher, wherein the donor and quencher are energy transfer partners, as described herein.
- the PDZ binding protein can be selected from the group of a kinase, a phosphatase, a GPCR, a tyrosine kinase receptor, a tyrosine phosphatase receptor, an ion channel, a G-protein, a phospholipase and calcium binding protein. More preferably, the energy transfer partners are a modified GFP FRET partner pair.
- FIG. 1 A shows an exemplary transducisome in the uncomplexed and complexed state.
- a transducisome protein "T” has three different PDZ domains that bind different signal transduction proteins such as a phospholipase ("PL”), a phosphokinase ("PK”) and a cell surface receptor (“R”).
- the interlocking regions on the transducisome protein illustrate PDZ domains that bind signal transduction proteins.
- the interlocking region on each signal transduction protein illustrates an amino acid region that binds a PDZ domain on the transducisome protein.
- FIG. IB shows an exemplary transducisome in the uncomplexed and complexed state.
- a transducisome protein "T” has three different PDZ domains that bind signal transduction proteins such as a phospholipase ("PL"), a phosphokinase ("PK”) and two ion channels of the same type (“IC").
- the interlocking regions on the transducisome protein illustrate PDZ domains that bind signal transduction proteins.
- the interlocking region on each signal transduction protein illustrates an amino acid region that binds a PDZ domain on the transducisome protein.
- FIG. IC shows one embodiment of the invention related monitoring protein-protein interactions in transducisomes in the uncomplexed and complexed state.
- the hash- marked regions represent a first energy transfer moiety for FRET.
- the dotted regions represent a second energy transfer moiety for FRET.
- FRET is substantially occurs in the complexed state between the first and second energy transfer moieties.
- FIG. 2 A shows a diagram of INAD protein with the locations of and size of each PDZ domain highlighted. Also shown are the relative locations of the three inaD mutations related to photoreceptor activation.
- FIG. 2B shows an amino acid alignment of PDZ domains from mammalian PSD-95 , nNOS , Drosophila dig and inaD .
- Black boxes indicate amino acid identities and gray boxes show conservative substitutions.
- Stars above the sequence indicate residues 27 implicated in substrate binding .
- the circled residues refer to the site of point mutation in the three Drosophila inaD alleles (see text for details).
- FIG. 2C shows an immunoblot demonstrating the absence of INAD protein in inaD .
- FIG. 3A shows that INAD antibodies co-immunoprecipitate TRP, eye-PKC and PLC ⁇ from retinal extracts in an immunoblot.
- FIG. 3B shows the results obtained in vitro using a full length GST-INAD fusion protein.
- Full length GST-INAD fusions associate with TRP, PLC ⁇ and PKC in cell
- FIG. 3B also shows that the third PDZ domain of INAD is specific for TRP , while the fourth domain specifically interacts with eye-PKC and the fifth domain specifically interacts with PLC ⁇ .
- Overexpression of each of the individual PDZ domains from INAD as GST-PDZ fusions produce highly preferred interactions in biochemical assays.
- FIG. 4 shows electrophysiology recordings with altered kinetics from wildtype and mutant INAD protein in cells.
- FIG. 5 A-C show altered kinetics and quantal bumps in photoreceptor cells.
- Fluorescent donor moiety refers to the radical of a fluorogenic compound, which can absorb energy and is capable of transferring the energy to another fluorogenic molecule or part of a compound.
- Suitable donor fluorogenic molecules include, but are not limited to, coumarins and related dyes xanthene dyes such as fluoresceins, rhodols, and rhodamines, resorufins, cyanine dyes, bimanes, acridines, isoindoles, dansyl dyes, aminophthalic hydrazides such as luminol and isoluminol derivatives, aminophthalimides, aminonaphthalimides, aminobenzofurans, aminoquinolines, dicyanohydroquinones, and europium and terbium complexes and related compounds.
- Quencher refers to a chromophoric molecule or part of a compound, which is capable of reducing the emission from a fluorescent donor when attached to the donor. Quenching may occur by any of several mechanisms including fluorescence resonance energy transfer, photoinduced electron transfer, paramagnetic enhancement of intersystem crossing, Dexter exchange coupling, and excitation coupling such as the formation of dark complexes.
- Acceptor refers to a quencher that operates via fluorescence resonance energy transfer. Many acceptors can re-emit the transferred as energy as fluorescence. Examples include coumarins and related fluorophores, xanthenes such as fluoresceins, rhodols, and rhodamines, resorufms, cyanines, difluoroboradiazaindacenes, and phthalocyanines. Other chemical classes of acceptors generally do not re-emit the transferred energy. Examples include indigos, benzoquinones, anthraquinones, azo compounds, nitro compounds, indoanilines, di- and triphenylmethanes.
- Binding pair refers to two moieties (e.g. chemical or biochemical) that have an affinity for one another.

- One member of a binding pair refers to one moiety of the pair, such as an antigen or ligand.
- Dye refers to a molecule or part of a compound that absorbs specific frequencies of light, including but not limited to ultraviolet light.
- the terms “dye” and “chromophore” are synonymous.
- Fluorophore refers to a chromophore that fluoresces.
- Membrane-permeant derivative refers a chemical derivative of a compound that has enhanced membrane permeability compared to an underivativized compound. Examples include ester, ether and carbamate derivatives. These derivatives are made better able to cross cell membranes, i.e. membrane permeant, because hydrophilic groups are masked to provide more hydrophobic derivatives. Also, masking groups are designed to be cleaved from a precursor (e.g., fluorogenic substrate precursor) within the cell to generate the derived substrate intracellularly. Because the substrate is more hydrophilic than the membrane permeant derivative it is now trapped within the cells.
- a precursor e.g., fluorogenic substrate precursor
- isolated polynucleotide refers a polynucleotide of genomic, cDNA, or synthetic origin or some combination there of, which by virtue of its origin the "isolated polynucleotide” (1) is not associated with the cell in which the "isolated polynucleotide” is found in nature, or (2) is operably linked to a polynucleotide which it is not linked to in nature.
- isolated protein refers a protein, usually of cDNA, recombinant RNA, or synthetic origin or some combination thereof, which by virtue of its origin the "isolated protein” (1) is not associated with proteins that it is normally found with in nature, (2) is isolated from the cell in which it normally occurs, (3) is isolated free of other proteins from the same cellular source, e.g. free of human proteins, (4) is expressed by a cell from a different species, or (5) does not occur in nature.
- isolated naturally occurring protein refers to a protein which by virtue of its origin the “isolated naturally occurring protein” (1) is not associated with proteins that it is normally found with in nature, or (2) is isolated from the cell in which it normally occurs or (3) is isolated free of other proteins from the same cellular source, e.g. free of human proteins.
- Polypeptide as used herein as a generic term to refer to native protein, fragments, or analogs of a polypeptide sequence. Hence, native protein, fragments, and analogs are species of the polypeptide genus.
- Preferred transducisome polypeptides include those with the polypeptide sequence represented in the SEQUENCE ID LISTING (as well as human homologs hereof) and any other protein having activity similar to such transducisome proteins as measured by one or more of the assays described herein.

- operably linked refers to a juxtaposition wherein the components so described are in a relationship permitting them to function in their intended manner.
- a control sequence "operably linked" to a coding sequence is ligated in such a way that expression of the coding sequence is achieved under conditions compatible with the control sequences, such as when the appropriate molecules (e.g., inducers and polymerases) are bound to the control or regulatory sequence(s).
- Control sequence refers to polynucleotide sequences which are necessary to effect the expression of coding and non-coding sequences to which they are ligated. The nature of such control sequences differs depending upon the host organism; in prokaryotes, such control sequences generally include promoter, ribosomal binding site, and transcription termination sequence; in eukaryotes, generally, such control sequences include promoters and transcription termination sequence.
- control sequences is intended to include, at a minimum, components whose presence can influence expression, and can also include additional components whose presence is advantageous, for example, leader sequences and fusion partner sequences.
- Polynucleotide refers to a polymeric form of nucleotides of at least 10 bases in length, either ribonucleotides or deoxynucleotides or a modified form of either type of nucleotide.
- the term includes single and double stranded forms of DNA.
- Two amino acid sequences are homologous if there is a partial or complete identity between their sequences. For example, 85% homology means that 85% of the amino acids are identical when the two sequences are aligned for maximum matching. Gaps (in either of the two sequences being matched) are allowed in maximizing matching; gap lengths of 5 or less are preferred with 2 or less being more preferred.
- two protein sequences are homologous, as this term is used herein, if they have an alignment score of at more than 5 (in standard deviation units) using the program ALIGN with the mutation data matrix and a gap penalty of 6 or greater. See Dayhoff, M.O., in Atlas of Protein Sequence and Structure, 1972, Volume 5, National Biomedical Research Foundation, pp. 101-110, and Supplement 2 to this volume, pp. 1-10.

- reference sequence is a defined sequence used as a basis for a sequence comparison; a reference sequence may be a subset of a larger sequence, for example, as a segment of a full-length protein given in a sequence listing such as a SEQ. ID NO. 1, or may comprise a complete protein sequence. Generally, a reference sequence is at least 400 nucleotides in length, frequently at least 600 nucleotides in length, and often at least 800 nucleotides in length (or the protein equivalent).
- two proteins may each (1) comprise a sequence (i.e., a portion of the complete protein sequence) that is similar between the two proteins, and (2) may further comprise a sequence that is divergent between the two proteins, sequence comparisons between two (or more) proteins are typically performed by comparing sequences of the two proteins over a "comparison window" to identify and compare local regions of sequence similarity.
- a “comparison window,” as used herein, refers to a conceptual segment of at least 20 contiguous amino acid positions wherein a protein sequence may be compared to a reference sequence of at least 20 contiguous amino acids and wherein the portion of the protein sequence in the comparison window may comprise additions or deletions (i.e., gaps) of 20 percent or less as compared to the reference sequence (which does not comprise additions or deletions) for optimal alignment of the two sequences.
- Optimal alignment of sequences for aligning a comparison window may be conducted by the local homology algorithm of Smith and Waterman (1981) Adv. Appl. Math. 2: 482, by the homology alignment algorithm of Needleman and Wunsch (1970) J. Mol. Biol.
- sequence identity means that two protein sequences are identical (i.e., on a nucleotide-by-nucleotide basis) over the window of comparison.
- percentage of sequence identity is calculated by comparing two optimally aligned sequences over the window of comparison, determining the number of positions at which the identical amino acids occurs in both sequences to yield the number of matched positions, dividing the number of matched positions by the total number of positions in the window of comparison (i.e., the window size), and multiplying the result by 100 to yield the percentage of sequence identity.
- substantially identical means that two protein sequences, when optimally aligned, such as by the programs GAP or BESTFIT using default gap weights, typically share at least 70 percent sequence identity, preferably at least 80 percent sequence identity, more preferably at least 90 percent sequence identity, and most preferably at least 95 percent sequence identity.
- residue positions, which are not identical differ by conservative amino acid substitutions. Conservative amino acid substitutions refer to the interchangeability of residues having similar side chains.
- a group of amino acids having aliphatic side chains is glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, and isoleucine; a group of amino acids having aliphatic-hydroxyl side chains is serine and threonine; a group of amino acids having amide-containing side chains is asparagine and glutamine; a group of amino acids having aromatic side chains is phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan; a group of amino acids having basic side chains is lysine, arginine, and histidine; and a group of amino acids having sulfur- containing side chains is cysteine and methionine.
- Preferred conservative amino acids substitution groups are valine-leucine-isoleucine, phenylalanine-tyrosine, lysine-arginine, alanine-valine, glutamic-aspartic, and asparagine-glutamine.
- Transducisome protein refers to a protein with the transducisome protein activity of one of the transducisome proteins of the SEQ. ID listing or another PDZ domain containing protein that binds signal transduction proteins.
- the transducisome protein can functionally bind at least one signal transduction protein.
- transducisome proteins include INAD, GRIP and other recently identified multi-PDZ domain proteins.
- signal transduction proteins include GPCRs, tyrosine kinase receptors, tyrosine phosphatase receptors, ion channels, phospholipases, adenylate cyclases, kinases and G-proteins.
- Transducisome protein activity can be measured with endogenously or heterologously expressed transducisome proteins and signal transduction proteins using the assays described herein.
- a transducisome protein can functionally bind to at least two different types of signal transduction proteins, more preferably, a transducisome protein can functionally bind to at least three different types of signal transduction proteins.
- Transducisome proteins permit enhanced signal transduction by signal transduction proteins compared to signal transducton by signal transduction proteins not functionally bound to a transducisome.
- Transducisome protein activity includes functional binding of a signal transduction protein to a transducisome protein, alteration of signal transduction protein activity when the signal transduction protein is complexed to the transducisome protein (e.g., a increase or decrease in activity or a change in signal transduction protein specificity) and any other activity related to signal transduction induced by a transducisome protein.
- Mammalian transducisome proteins for use with mammalian signal transduction proteins are preferred, particularly human transducisome proteins.
- Modulation refers to the capacity to either enhance or inhibit a functional property of biological activity or process (e.g., enzyme activity or receptor binding); such enhancement or inhibition may be contingent on the occurrence of a specific event, such as activation of a signal transduction pathway, and/or may be manifest only in particular cell types.
- modulator refers to a chemical (naturally occurring or non-naturally occurring), such as a synthetic molecule (e.g., nucleic acid, protein, non-peptide, or organic molecule), or an extract made from biological materials such as bacteria, plants, fungi, or animal (particularly mammalian) cells or tissues. Modulators are evaluated for potential activity as inhibitors or activators (directly or indirectly) of a biological process or processes (e.g., agonist, partial antagonist, partial agonist, inverse agonist, antagonist, antineoplastic agents, cytotoxic agents, inhibitors of neoplastic transformation or cell proliferation, cell proliferation-promoting agents, and the like) by inclusion in screening assays described herein. The activity of a modulator may be known, unknown or partially known.
- Sequence homology refers to the proportion of base matches between two nucleic acid sequences or the proportion amino acid matches between two amino acid sequences. When sequence homology is expressed as a percentage, e.g., 50%, the percentage denotes the proportion of matches over the length of sequence from a desired sequence (e.g., SEQ.

- F and F 0 are the fluorescence intensities of the donor moiety in the presence and absence of the acceptor, respectively
- R is the distance between the donor moiety and the acceptor moiety.
- the characteristic distance RQ at which FRET is 50% efficient depends on the quantum yield of the donor moiety (i.e., the shorter-wavelength fluorophore), the extinction coefficient of the acceptor moiety (i.e., the longer- wavelength fluorophore), and the overlap between the emission spectrum of the donor moiety and the excitation spectrum of the acceptor moiety.
- Ro is given (in A) by: where K 2 is an orientation factor having an average value close to 0.67 for freely mobile donors and acceptors, Q is the quantum yield of the unquenched donor moiety, n is the refractive index of the medium separating the donor moiety and the acceptor moiety, and J is the overlap integral. J can be quantitatively expressed as the degree of spectral overlap between the donor moiety and the acceptor moiety according to the equation:
- FRET is a nondestructive spectroscopic method that can monitor proximity and relative angular orientation of fluorophores in living cells.
- the emission spectrum of the donor fluorescent protein moiety should overlap as much as possible with the excitation spectrum of the acceptor fluorescent protein moiety to maximize the overlap integral J. Also, the quantum yield of the donor fluorescent protein moiety and the extinction coefficient of the acceptor fluorescent protein moiety should be as large as possible to maximize R Q .
- the excitation spectra of the donor and acceptor moieties should overlap as little as possible so that a wavelength region can be found at which the donor moiety can be excited selectively and efficiently without directly exciting the acceptor moiety.
- Direct excitation of the acceptor moiety should be avoided since it can be difficult to distinguish direct emission from fluorescence arising from FRET.
- the emission spectra of the donor and acceptor moieties should have minimal overlap so that the two emissions can be distinguished.
- High fluorescence quantum yield of the acceptor moiety is desirable if the emission from the acceptor moiety is to be monitored to determine the amount of its labeled protein in a sample.
- the donor fluorescent protein moiety is excited by ultraviolet ( ⁇ 400 nm) and emits blue light ( ⁇ 500 nm), and the acceptor fluorescent protein moiety is efficiently excited by blue but not by ultraviolet light and emits green light (>500 nm), for example, P4-3 and S65T, respectively.
- the donor fluorescent moiety is excited by violet (400- 430 nm) and emits blue-green (450-500 nm) and the acceptor fluorescent moiety is efficiently excited by blue-green (450-500 nm) and emits yellow-green light (?520 nm), for example WIB and 10C respectively.
- the amount of a labeled protein in a sample can be determined by determining the degree of FRET in the sample.
- Labeled protein concentration can be determined by monitoring FRET at different concentrations to establish a calibration curve.
- the degree of FRET can be determined by any spectral or fluorescence lifetime characteristic of the excited donor moiety. For example, intensity of the fluorescent signal from the donor, the intensity of fluorescent signal from the acceptor, the ratio of the fluorescence amplitudes near the acceptor's emission maxima to the fluorescence amplitudes near the donor's emission maximum, or the excited state lifetime of the donor can be monitored.
- changes in the degree of FRET are determined as a function of the change in the ratio of the amount of fluorescence from the donor and acceptor moieties; a process referred to as "ratioing.”
- ratioing Changes in the absolute amount of indicator, excitation intensity, and turbidity or other background absorbances in the sample at the excitation wavelength affect the intensities of fluorescence from both the donor and acceptor approximately in parallel. Therefore the ratio of the two emission intensities is a more robust and preferred measure of cleavage than either intensity alone.
- Fluorescence in a sample is measured using a fluorometer.
- excitation radiation from an excitation source having a first wavelength, passes through excitation optics.
- the excitation optics cause the excitation radiation to excite the sample.
- fluorescent proteins in the sample emit radiation which has a wavelength that is different from the excitation wavelength.
- Collection optics then collect the emission from the sample.
- the device can include a temperature controller to maintain the sample at a specific temperature while it is being scanned.
- a multi-axis translation stage moves a microtiter plate holding a plurality of samples in order to position different wells to be exposed.

- the computer also can transform the data collected during the assay into another format for presentation.

- the excited state lifetime of the donor moiety is, likewise, independent of the absolute amount of substrate, excitation intensity, or turbidity or other background absorbances. Its measurement requires equipment with nanosecond time resolution.
- Quantum yields of wild-type GFP, S65T, and P4-1 mutants can be estimated by comparison with fluorescein in 0.1 N NaOH as a standard of quantum yield 0.91. J.N. Miller, ed., Standards in Fluorescence Spectrometry, New York: Chapman and Hall (1981). Mutants P4 and P4-3 were likewise compared to 9-aminoacridine in water (quantum yield 0.98).
- any fluorescent protein can be used in the invention, including proteins that fluoresce due intramolecular rearrangements or the addition of cofactors that promote fluorescence.

- a number of expression vectors may be advantageously selected depending upon the use intended for the transducisome protein or signal transduction protein coding sequence expressed. For example, when large quantities of the transducisome protein or signal transduction protein are to be produced, vectors which direct the expression of high levels of fusion protein products that are readily purified may be desirable. Those which are engineered to contain a cleavage site to aid in recovering transducisome protein or signal transduction protein coding sequence are preferred. In yeast, a number of vectors containing constitutive or inducible promoters may be used. For a review see, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Vol. 2, Ed. Ausubel, et al, Greene Publish. Assoc. & Wiley Interscience, Ch.

- the transducisome protein or signal transduction protein coding sequences may be cloned into non-essential regions (for example, the polyhedrin gene) of the virus and placed under control of an AcNPV promoter (for example the polyhedrin promoter).
- transducisome protein or signal transduction protein coding sequence coding sequence will result in inactivation of the polyhedrin gene and production of non- occluded recombinant virus (i.e., virus lacking the proteinaceous coat coded for by the polyhedrin gene). These recombinant viruses are then used to infect Spodoptera frugiperda cells in which the inserted gene is expressed, see Smith, et al, J. Viol. 46:584, 1983; Smith, U.S. Patent No. 4,215,051.

- the vaccinia virus 7.5K promoter may be used, (e.g., see, Mackett, et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA ,79: 7415-7419, 1982; Mackett, et al, J. Virol. 49: 857-864, 1984; Panicali, et al, Proc. Natl.
- vectors based on bovine papilloma virus which have the ability to replicate as extrachromosomal elements (Sarver, et al. , Mol. Cell. Biol. 1 : 486, 1981). Shortly after entry of this DNA into mouse cells, the plasmid replicates to about 100 to 200 copies per cell. Transcription of the inserted cDNA does not require integration of the plasmid into the host's chromosome, thereby yielding a high level of expression.
- These vectors can be used for stable expression by including a selectable marker in the plasmid, such as the neo gene.
- the retroviral genome can be modified for use as a vector capable of introducing and directing the expression of the fluorescent indicator gene in host cells (Co ⁇ & Mulligan, Proc. Natl. Acad.

- E. coli is useful for this purpose, especially if larger quantities of full-length proteins or functionally fragments are desired for biocehmical assays.
- the host cell can be a prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell selected to study the activity of an enzyme produced by the cell.
- the linker peptide is selected to include an amino acid sequence recognized by the protease.
- the cell can be, e.g., a cultured cell or a cell in vivo.
- proteins of the invention are prepared by normal protein biosynthesis, thus completely avoiding organic synthesis and the requirement for customized unnatural amino acid analogs.
- the constructs can be expressed in E. coli in large scale for in vitro assays. Purification from bacteria is simplified when the sequences include polyhistidine tags for one-step purification by nickel-chelate chromatography.

- the INAD antibody was diluted 1 :500 in phosphate buffered saline, 1% BSA, 0.1% saponin (PBS-S); the TRP antibody was first preabsorbed with a homogenate of trp mutant heads to reduce background staining and used at a final dilution of 1:100.
- Rhodopsin (1:300), eye-PKC (1:50), PLC (1 : 1000), TRPL (1 :100), and DGq (1 :200) were detected using polyclonal antibodies as previously described ' ' .
- Frozen heads (500-1,000) were homogenized in 2 to 3 mL of buffer A (50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 50 mM NaCI, 1 mM EDTA and protease inhibitors) using a glass-glass homogenizer. The homogenate was centrifuged at 4,000 x g for one minute to remove chitinous material. Membranes were isolated by centrifugation at 100,000 x g for 30 minutes at 4°C, and resuspended in 0.8 to 1 ml of buffer A to determine protein concentration.

- Fluovert FS Leitz
- light was bandpass-filtered (Jl ⁇ S ⁇ O ⁇ 10 nm) and focused onto the photoreceptor cells with a 0.5 numerical aperture, 40X objective.
- the membrane of the photoreceptors was voltage-clamped at a holding potential of -40 mV. Traces were low-pass filtered at 2 kHz (Bessel filter) and digitized at 2 kHz, unless stated otherwise. Measured series resistance, 16 M ⁇ on average, was 80% compensated.

- Pipette solution contained 95 KGluconate, 40 KC1, 10 mM HEPES, 2 MgCl 2 , 2 EGTA, pH 7.15.
- photoreceptors were clamped at -70 mV, and stimulated with a dim light flash to generate quantum bumps around 50% of the time. Signals were lowpass-filtered at 1 kHz and digitized at 2 kHz.
- INAD protein structure of INAD (SEQ. ID NO.: 1).
- INAD was selected as a candidate transducisome because mutants in the gene, InaD, produce a dominant negative phenotype for photoreceptor activation.
- the primary structure of INAD was analyzed using BLAST..
- INAD is a modular protein composed of five closely linked PDZ domains (see FIG. 2). Each of these domains contains the structural hallmarks of a prototypical PDZ motif, including the conserved amino acid region target binding. Each PDZ domains, however, is different and displays sufficient differences in amino acid sequence to permit binding of different signal transduction proteins and to allow distinct protein-protein interactions. This finding was quite surprising, as previous studies had shown that INAD contains two PDZ domains instead of five.
- FIG. 2 A shows a diagram of INAD protein with the locations of and size of each PDZ domain highlighted. Also shown is the relative location of the three inaD mutations related to photoreceptor activation.
- FIG. 2B shows an amino acid alignment of PDZ domains from mammalian PSD-95 .
- the circled residues refer to the site of point mutation in the three Drosophila inaD alleles.
- FIG. 2C shows an immunoblot demonstrating the absence of INAD protein in inaD .
- Another photoreceptor protein NinaA was used as a control in the blots. Note normal levels of NinaA in both lanes.
- the inventors measured binding of signal transduction proteins to INAD.
- the inventors assayed for binding of different phototransduction cascade proteins to INAD.
- Immunoprecipitations and GST-INAD protein fusions were used to identify INAD binding entities or targets.
- FIG. 3A shows that INAD antibodies co-immunoprecipitate TRP, eye-PKC and PLCn
- Rhodopsin and Gq a failed to immunoprecipate despite the fact that both proteins are extremely abundant in photoreceptor cells.
- Membranes prepared from the heads of wt flies (IP) or trp, norpA and inaC mutants were immunoprecipitated (100 ug) with anti-INAD antibody as described in Example 1.
- the immunoprecipitated proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE, transferred to nitrocellulose and separately probed with antibodies specific for TRP, PLC, eye-PKC, G alpha subunit (G ⁇ ) and rhodopsin (Rhl). Heads refers to membranes before immunoprecipitation.
- As a negative control for antibody and immunoprecipation specificity immunoprecipitations from inaD nulls did not precipitate TRP, PKC or PLC (data not shown).
- FIG. 3B shows similar results obtained in vitro using a full length GST-INAD fusion protein.
- Full length GST-INAD (N-GST— INAD-C) fusions associate with TRP, PLC ⁇ and PKC in cell extracts.
- N-GST— INAD-C N-GST— INAD-C
- the inventors dissected INAD. The inventors produced individual PDZ domains of INAD as GST- fusion proteins and assayed each domain for interaction with each of target proteins from whole retinal extracts.
- FIG.3B also shows that the third PDZ domain of INAD is specific for TRP , while the fourth domain specifically interacts with eye-PKC and the fifth domain specifically interacts with PLC 9 .
- Overexpression of each of the individual PDZ domains from INAD as GST-PDZ fusions (N-GST— PDZ 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5-C) produce highly preferred interactions in biochemical assays. PDZ 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 are shown in FIG. 2.
- transducisomes exist as PDZ domain containing proteins to mediate protein-protein interactions and the assembly of transduction complexes with multiple types of signal transduction proteins in the bound in the same complex.
- Example 4 Transducisomes Permit or Enhance Signal Transduction and Transducisome Assembly In Vivo
- the inventors isolated new inaD mutant alleles responsible for the dominant negative phenotype of photoreceptor deactivation and tested their corresponding proteins for the ability to assemble transducisomes and perform signal transduction in vivo.
- the screening strategy was based on the loss of INAD antigen on immunoblots rather than on a hypothetical physiological or behavioral phenotype.
- Fly stocks containing individual homozygous mutagenized second chromosomes (inaD maps to the second chromosome at position 59B1-2) were generated and each stock was then
- inaD has an amber non-sense mutation at position 811, leading to premature termination of the polypeptide chain at amino acid residue 270 (see FIG. 2 and SEQUENCE ID LISTING).
- inaD has a A->G change at nucleotide 1814, leading to the substitution of a conserved glycine for glutamic acid in the fifth PDZ domain (see
- FIG.2 Nucleotide positions are based on the published nucleotide sequence of INAD
- Immunofluorescent staining was performed on one micron thick cross-sections of wild type (showing localization), and inaD mutant (no localization of signal transduction proteins as described herein) photoreceptors for different transduction proteins. No INAD-immunoreactive material was found in inaD mutants.
- transducisomes To investigate the ability of transducisomes to permit or enhance signal transduction of photoreceptors, the inventors performed electrophysiological recordings on photoreceptor cells from wildtype, inaD , and inaD flies. Wildtype cells, with a functional transducisome, showed enhanced signal transduction in response to light compared to inaD mutants. inaD mutants, compared to wildtype, are much less sensitive to light, responding only at the highest light intensities and with profoundly
- InaD mutants compared to wildtype, are less sensitive to light, but more sensitive to light compared to inaD mutants, and have intermediate kinetics (see FIG.4).
- the electroretinograms (ERG) recordings are from wild type (wt),
- the inventors examined the instability of the signal transduction proteins.
- the inventors assayed the steady-state levels of signal transduction proteins by immunoblot analysis at different stages post-eclosion.
- the inventors assessed the affect of mutations of the INAD protein on signal transduction and signal transducton protein stability.
- INAD interacts with multiple components of the phototransduction cascade and is essential for the assembly of signaling complexes, i.e. transducisomes.
- the inventors therefore postulated that mutation of the PDZ domain for a particular target should prevent the recruitment of that protein into the transduction complexes. This should generate in vivo phenotypes that resemble mutations in the target proteins.
- the original inaD allele, inaD has a missense mutation in the third PDZ domain .
- TRP protein levels by immunoblot analysis, TRP subcellular localization by immunofluorescent staining of tissue sections and its function by performing whole-cell voltage-clamp recordings and electroretinograms (ERG).
- TRP 215 inaD mutants.
- TRP is present at significantly higher
- TRP 215 levels and exclusively in the microvillar membranes of the rhabdomeres.
- TRP levels are significantly reduced in the rhabdomeres (newly enclosed flies) and TRP prominently distributed throughout the plasma membrane.
- inaD mutants display an ERG phenotype that approaches that of trp mutants, and does so on a time course similar to that of the decay of TRP protein seen in immunoblots.
- inaD mutants were originally characterized as displaying slow deactivation kinetics in response to a flash of light (see FIG. 5A).
- ERG recordings were from wildtype, trp , and inaD mutant eyes at 10 days after eclosion.
- Light stimulus was a 30 sec. pulse of orange light (570 nm longpass filter).
- Quantum bumps are the result of the activation of a single rhodopsin molecule and reflect the amplification of the entire
- the quantum bumps from inaD flies display normal termination kinetics (wild type t9o% ⁇ 13.6 ⁇ 0.58 ms, in FIG. 5B, right panel), indicating that the macroscopic defect of inaD mutants cannot be due to an underlying defect in deactivation.
- FIG. 5B shows whole-cell recordings (left traces) and
- the mean latency times between stimulus and quantum bump generation were significantly altered in inaD mutants (47.6 ⁇ 1.3 ms in wild type vs. 67.0 ⁇ 3.2 ms in inaD ; FIG. 5C).
- inaD photoreceptors do not have a defect in termination , nor do they display
- Example 5 A GPCR Based Screen for Modulators of Signal Transduction Function
- a screen for identifying modulators of signal transduction was designed using cells that can express a GPCR, a phospholipaseC , and a G protein that assemble into a transducisome.
- a cell line containing Gq-type GPCR receptor that expresses ⁇ - lactamase in response to the addition of the agonist was produced by FACS selection.
- the G ⁇ q protein was endogenously expressed.
- the activation response is inhibited by an antagonist.
- Jurkat clones expressing NFAT- ⁇ la as described in Negulescu et al filed June 19, 1997 (herein incorporated by reference) were transfected with expression vectors containing the Gq receptor and neomycin resistance gene (double transfection).
- the transfected population was neo-selected and sorted by FACS for clones responding to the GPCR agonist.
- Cells were stimulated for three hours with the indicated ligands.
- Cells were then loaded with ⁇ -lactamase substrate CCF2/ac2AM for 1 hour, washed, dispensed into wells of a microtiter plate (100,000 cells/well) and the blue/green ratio was recorded by a plate reader.
- transducisome protein A twenty-fold change in signal upon receptor activation with an agonist (saturating dose lOO ⁇ M) was observed.
- Such controls include mutant or truncated transducisome protein that fails to functionally bind the signal transduction protein that is normally part of a transducisome complex or cells not expressing transducisome proteins from exogenous or mutated polynucleotides (e.g., non-induced polynucleotide having expression controlled by an inducable promoter, defective transducisome proteins due to a mutation or non-transfected cells).
- Test compounds are added in the presence or absence of agonist, antagonist, inverse agonist or other known modulators.
- Example 6 An Ion Channel Based Screen for Modulators of Signal Transduction Function
- a screen for identifying modulators of signal transduction was designed using cells that can express rhodospin, an ion channel that binds a transducisome protein, and a phospholipase that binds a transducisome protein, a PKC that binds a transducisome protein and a transducisome protein.
- Cells are maintained in the dark and exposed for a predetermined time to light at a wavelength that will activate rhodospin that in turn activates Gq ⁇ .
- the G-protein in turn activates PLC ⁇ leading to the increase of inositol triphosphate and diacylgylcerol that lead to the activation of ion channel, TRP.
- Ion channel activity is monitored with voltage sensitive dyes using a fluorimeter. Test compounds can be added before or after light activation.
- Example 7 A FRET Based Screen for Modulators of Transducisome Protein binding to Signal Transduction Proteins
- a screen for identifying modulators of transducisone binding was designed using cells that can express modified GFP FRET partners fused to transducisome fragments and modified GFP FRET partners fused to signal transduction proteins that bind to the corresponding transducisome fragment.
- the resulting fusion protein is oriented as follows: N-GFP FRET- partner-C-N- PLC ⁇ protein-C; wherein N is the n-terminus of each respective fragment and C is the c-terminus of each respective fragment.
- Expression of each modified GFP fusion protein is accomplished with use of a constitutive promoter and a vector suitable for expression in CHO or insect cells. After expression of the GFP fusion proteins, FRET is measured between the modified GFP FRET partners in the presence and absence of test chemicals using a fluorimeter.
- the rat brain postsynaptic density fraction contains a homolog of the Drosophila discs-large tumor suppressor protein. Neuron 9, 929-942 (1992).
- Light- Activated Conductance is Composed of the Two Channels TRP and TRPL.
- Trp transient receptor potential protein
- Hualing, D., et al GRIP a synaptic PDZ domain-containing protein that interacts with AMPA receptors. Nature 386, 279-284 (1997).
- a method of modulating a signal transduction in a cell comprising contacting a cell with a chemical to modulate the association of a transducisome and at least one PDZ binding protein.
- a therapeutic compound for treating a transducisome related disease comprising a chemical to modulate the association of a transducisome and at least one PDZ binding protein.
