| Research Abstract |
1). We are establishing the transgenic mice line which express mrt-1b gene excessively in the forebrain area using CaMKTI promoter. Germline gene transmission has been confirmed in two of the four transgenic lines. Now we are breeding the F2 generation of the mice.
2). We have cloned six proteins which interact with Mrt1b using the yeast two-hybrid system. The interactions were confirmed by coimmunoprecipitation method. In this method, HA-tagged Mrt1b and Myc-tagged clones were cotransfected into HEK293 mammalian cells and were coimmunoprecipitated by each antibodies. Four of the six clones were unknown. Among the known genes, one belongs to the phosphatase family and the other has a SAM domain and a PD domain.
