本课题组研究工作主要包括以下方向:(1)冷冻电子显微学;(2)染色质结构与表观遗传调控;(3)病毒感染与复制机制。欢迎有兴趣的同学报考本研究组,招生相关信息请参阅中国科学院大学相关网页,也欢迎其他感兴趣的成员加入本组。
1. 冷冻电子显微学
冷冻电镜三维重构技术可以解析天然状态下生物大分子及其复合物的空间结构及组装机制,为深入理解生物大分子的相互作用机理提供重要而有益的信息。本课题组以冷冻电镜(Cryo-EM)和电子断层成像(Electron Tomography)技术为主要手段进行重要生物大分子及复合物的结构和功能研究、细胞内分子机器的原位结构解析,以及重要生命过程的可视化研究。同时,我们也针对冷冻电镜三维重构中涉及到的步骤和流程开展方法学研究。
2. 染色质结构与表观遗传调控
染色质的结构和动态变化对于不同功能的各种细胞的命运决定和分化起着关键性的作用。染色质高级结构与功能调控是生命延续中最为基础的根本问题之一,对于理解生命过程的本质具有十分重要的意义。在前期研究中,我们利用冷冻电镜技术解析了由12个核小体通过连接组蛋白H1形成的30nm染色质纤维的分辨率为11Å的三维结构,揭示了30nm染色质纤维的左手双螺旋高级结构模型,在染色质的高级结构组装及调控这一生命科学的基本问题上取得了重要进展(Science 2014,Research Article)。目前,我们正致力于获得30nm染色质的原子分辨率精细结构,以及各种表观遗传调控因子,如不同的组蛋白变体和修饰、不同的染色质构造及重塑因子、以及不同的连接DNA长度和连接组蛋白等,对核小体、染色质的组装,以及染色质高级结构形成和维持的分子调控机制。
3. 病毒感染与复制机制
病毒是一个高效组装的分子机器,对其精细结构的解析对于理解病毒分子的组装、感染、复制及调控机制都有重要意义。 利用冷冻电镜三维重构技术,我们对双链RNA以及其它种类病毒在病毒生命周期中不同状态的全病毒结构,以及病毒的组装、感染、转录、复制及其分子调控等方面进行了较为系统的研究。今后,我们将继续进行不同宿主、具有不同感染和致病性的病毒在其生命周期中不同状态下的高分辨率结构解析,从而研究病毒生命周期不同阶段的分子调控机制,以及病毒的感染及复制机制。同时,我们也在进行重要病原体的疫苗结构学评价研究。
