    Part A CEBPδ
    轉錄因子CEBPδ已知參與細胞的分化,遷移,生長休止,增生與凋亡,CEBPδ的功能會因為細胞種類和刺激因子的不同而改變。實驗證實CEBPδ的大量表現會抑制多種癌腫瘤生長,另一方面CEBPδ也會因為其產生的發炎反應,讓多形性膠質母細胞瘤在缺氧環境下存活並轉移。先前的報導指出,CEBPδ N端上有許多轉譯後修飾的位置,並且需要與其他CEBP家族成員或相關蛋白形成二聚體才有正常功能,但詳細的原因和機制目前並不明白。我們的研究希望藉由得到CEBPδ的晶體並以X光繞射取得其結構資訊而能進一步解釋CEBPδ的控制機轉。我們設計了CEBPδ N端transactivation domain和C端bZip domain 與全長的重組蛋白,此三個重組蛋白均能被大量表達。其中CEBPδ全長重組蛋白因其親和力問題無法得到足量蛋白。Transactivation domain 則伴隨著非專一蛋白,且透過膠體滲透層析依然無法移除,最終我們使用利用離子交換的方式將其移除以得到純化蛋白,並且利用結晶條件篩選套件得到可能的結晶條件。針對這些條件進行最佳化期望得到CEBPδ transactivation domain 的結晶。在以膠體滲透層析的過程中,我們發現CEBPδ在缺乏C端bZIP功能域 (domain) 時可能會形成二聚體,進一步推測CEBPδ也會以N端和其他蛋白作用並形成二聚體。
    Part B PTX3
    PTX3已經被認為是一個發炎的標的因子,因為PTX3會辨認外來的病原 (pattern) 並引起免疫發炎反應。同時PTX3也以它的N端與C端功能域和許多的細胞激素作用,參與細胞凋亡,吞噬作用,補體 (complement)的傳統 (classic)、替代 (alternative)、凝集素 (lectin) 反應,血管新生等功能。當PTX3沉降到凋亡細胞 (apoptotic cell) 上,PTX3會召集C3與C4並進行接下來的補體反應,整個作用表達出一個"eat me"的訊號使得巨噬細胞吞食凋亡細胞。相反地,處於液體中的PTX3會抓住C3並阻止它沉降到凋亡細胞上作為一個抗凋亡的作用。雖然PTX3的SAXS結果提供了我們有關其粗略結構的訊息,但目前依然無法從SAXS的資料去解釋PTX3的對於凋亡細胞的雙重功能與其機轉,因此需要立體結構的資訊來進一步研究。我們設計了PTX3全長,N端,C端的重組蛋白。初步表達的結果顯示N端可溶,但全長與C端不可溶。透過膠體滲透層析純化之N端重組蛋白有特定的裂解現象,我們依然在解決此問題。已純化之PTX3雖有裂解之現象但蛋白穩定,故我們仍然進行結晶條件的篩選,希望透過最佳化形成PTX3 N端之結晶以提供更多結構之資訊。同時我們發現N端在溶液中可能形成一四聚體,此現象與真核生物之PTX3相同。C端與全長兩種重組蛋白會形成不可溶之包涵體 (inclusion body)。為了得到可溶的C端與全長重組蛋白,我們使用胍鹽酸 (GuHCl) 溶解包涵體而後透析取得可溶之蛋白,但由於蛋白的產量過低,故須提高產量方能進行結晶。而透過膠體滲透層析我們也發現C端可能與真核的PTX3相同形成2聚體,但全長 (full length) 卻只形成四聚體與真核的八聚體不同。需要更多的研究來解釋此結果是否與原核,真核生物之修飾系統有關和其對功能之影響。

    Abstract
    Part A: CEBPδ
    Transcription factor CEBPδ is involved in cell differentiation, motility, growth arrest, proliferation, and cell death. Studies also suggested that CEBPδ functions differed depending on cell type and cellular context. CEBPδ has been proved as a tumor suppressor in some cancers, for example, in breast cancer. But CEBPδ also help glioblastoma cell’s survival by inflammation response and induce metastasis. Previous studies had reported CEBPδ has many posttranslational modification sites and need to form a dimer with other family member or different proteins for its function. But the detailed mechanism and function of these modifications and dimerization are still unknown. In our research we try to study and explain these mechanisms by crystallography and X-ray diffraction. So we made constructs including transactivation domain (5-186), bZip domain (190-270) and full length (5-270) of CEBPδ, and all these three proteins can be over expressed. We can’t get enough full length to crystallization because it’s poor binding affinity. Transactivation domain could be pulled down enough, but it contained nonspecific bond. Finally, we use ion exchange and gain pure protein, and screening them for potential condition of crystallization. Once optimize the potential condition it may form a crystal and provide more detail structure conformation. According to size-exclusion chromatography data, we found that CEBPδ without its bZIP domain still formed a homodimer. We supposed that besides bZIP domain, the N-terminus contributed a physical interaction to dimerization.
    Part B PTX3
    PTX3 has been considered as an inflammatory marker, because PTX3 can recognize the extracellular pathogens and induce inflammation response for immunity. And it interacts with many cytokines within its N-terminus or C-terminus. When PTX3 deposited onto apoptotic cell, it recruited the C3 and C4 on apoptotic cell. This process presents a “eat me” signal for macrophage. But the fluid phase PTX3 would inhibit the C3 deposition for an anti-apoptotic function. Although the SAXS data of PTX3 was reported, the mechanism of these functions can’t be solved, so it need structure study to provide more information. In our study, we made construct of full length (19-381), N-terminal domain (19-182), and C-terminal CRP like domain (180-381) of PTX3. The result of expression presented that the N-terminus from bacterias was soluble the same as form eukaryotic cell, but C-terminus and full length were insoluble. By purification experiment data, we supposed that the PTX3 N-terminus form a tetramer in solution like eukaryotic PTX3, and there was degradation which we still try to remove. Although the N-terminal recombinant protein had degraded, it was stable, so we still screened this protein with degradation, and try optimization for crystal which can provide more detail information of PTX3 mechanism. The full length and C-terminus formed inclusion body. We used Guanidinium-HCl to dissolve the inclusion body and used dialysis for gaining soluble protein. But the protein production was too low to crystallization. According to size-exclusion chromatography data of protein purified by dialysis, we suppose that the C-terminus form a dimer the same as in eukaryotic cell, but full length did not form a octmer. The different between prokaryotic and eukaryotic modification system could be a reason of this result.
