Abstract
Spužve, morfološki jednostavne životinje bez tkiva i organa koje se nalaze na samoj bazi filogenetskog stabla Metazoa, predstavljaju dobar model za objašnjenje evolucijskih obrazaca razvoja životinja. Važne su za proučavanje karakteristika homologa kod pretka svih Metazoa prije odvajanja i specijalizacije ovih gena u razvijenijim životinjama i za razumijevanje osnovne fiziološke funkcije gena povezanih s nastankom raka kod jednostavnijih životinja. U okviru diplomskog rada okarakteriziran je protein iz slatkovodne špiljske spužve Eunapius subterraneus čiji je homolog kod čovjeka DRG1 (engl. Developmentally Regulated GTP binding protein 1) povezan s nastankom raka. Cilj je dobiti što bolji uvid u evoluciju ovog supresora metastaziranja. cDNA koja kodira za protein DRG1 uspješno je uklonirana u ekspresijski vektor pET28b te je napravljena prekomjerna ekspresija koja je potvrđena western blotting tehnikom. Protein DRG1 ima GTPaznu aktivnost koja je testirana mjerenjem količine neiskorištenog GTP-a nakon reakcije hidrolize. Osim toga, protein je podvrgnut metodi gel-filtracije kako bi se procijenila njegova molekularna masa.
Abstract (english)
Sponges, morphologically simple animals without tissues and organs and possibly the earliest branching animal phylum, represent a good model for explaining the evolutionary patterns of animal development. They are important for studying homologous characteristics in the ancestor of all Metazoa prior to separation and specialization of these genes in more complex animals and for understanding the basic physiological function of cancer-related genes in simpler animals. The thesis characterizes the protein from the freshwater cave sponge Eunapius subterraneus, whose homologue in humans DRG1 (Developmentally Regulated GTP binding protein 1) is associated with cancer. The goal is to gain a better insight into the evolution of this metastatic suppressor. The cDNA encoding the DRG1 protein was successfully cloned into the pET28b expression vector and overexpression was performed. The DRG1 protein has GTPase activity that was tested by measuring the amount of unused GTP after the hydrolysis reaction. In addition, the protein was subjected to a gel filtration method to estimate its molecular weight.
