我们正在研究构巢曲霉中微管稳态的新调节因子wdA。wdA突变导致冷敏感致死性有丝分裂灾难，表明其在基于微管的过程中起重要作用。先前的遗传学研究表明，TBCA缺失会导致近乎致死的表型，而wdA缺失可抑制该表型，这表明它们在调节微管蛋白稳态中起相反作用。为研究这种关系，利用alcA乙醇脱氢酶启动子系统设计了可诱导的TBCE过表达构建体。通过PCR扩增、限制性酶切、连接到pSDW194穿梭载体、转化到大肠杆菌以及诊断性限制性分析产生该构建体。候选质粒产生的限制性图谱与预测的alcA::TBCE构建体一致。尽管转化到构巢曲霉并进行表型鉴定仍是未来的工作，但完整的构建体为研究体内TBCE剂量改变如何影响微管蛋白平衡和微管稳态提供了工具。这些研究将有助于阐明微管蛋白辅因子在维持动态可逆的微管蛋白稳态网络中的作用。
英文摘要
We are studying a new regulator of microtubule homeostasis, wdA, in the fungus Aspergillus nidulans. Mutations in wdA confer cold-sensitive lethal mitotic catastrophe, suggesting an important role in microtubule-based processes. Previous genetic studies showed that deletion of TBCA causes a near-lethal phenotype that is suppressed by deletion of wdA, suggesting opposing roles in regulating tubulin homeostasis. To investigate this relationship, an inducible TBCE overexpression construct was designed using the alcA alcohol dehydrogenase promoter system. The construct was generated through PCR amplification, restriction digestion, ligation into the pSDW194 shuttle vector, transformation into Escherichia coli, and diagnostic restriction analysis. Candidate plasmids produced restriction patterns consistent with the predicted alcA::TBCE construct. Although transformation into A. nidulans and phenotypic characterization remain future work, the completed construct provides a tool to examine how altered TBCE dosage influences tubulin balance and microtubule homeostasis in vivo. These studies will help clarify the role of tubulin cofactors in maintaining a dynamic and reversible tubulin homeostasis network.
