课题组简介

研究方向：

代谢细胞生物学，细胞蛇

研究内容：

1.以果蝇、酵母菌和人的培养细胞为主要研究材料探索代谢酶（如CTP合成酶和IMP脱氢酶等）在细胞里如何被区域化；

2.研究不同的代谢酶如何组装成细胞蛇，以及细胞蛇和类似的细胞器如何在代谢调控和肿瘤生物学发挥作用；

3.利用不同技术方法和多学科（细胞生物学、生物化学、发育遗传、结构生物学、合成生物学等）理解细胞蛇的结构和功能。

研究成果展示

2010 年包括我们在内的三个研究组首先独立报道了CTP合成酶在细菌，酵母菌和果蝇细胞里形成一种新类型的细胞器“细胞蛇（Cytoophidia）”。细胞蛇在地球上存在至少30亿年，从细菌到人体细胞里均被发现。2020年我们在生命第三域古菌中发现细胞蛇。

我们实验室以果蝇，酵母以及人的培养细胞为主要研究材料探索代谢酶（如CTP 合成酶和IMP 脱氢酶等）在细胞里如何被区域化。我们使用结构生物学手段如冷冻电镜技术解析细胞蛇近原子分辨率的结构。

此外，我们也积极开发CRISPR衍生技术。最近，我们与同事们合作开发了捕捉RNA-蛋白质相互作用的CRUIS。
