| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Human dynactin-associated protein (dynAP) is a transmembrane protein that promotes AktSer473 phosphorylation. NIH3T3 cells expressing dynAP vigorously formed spheroids in anchorage-deficient three-dimensional culture. NIH3T3dynAP cells injected into nude mice produced tumors with abundant blood vessels and weak cell-cell contacts. Thus, dynAP could be a new oncoprotein and a target for cancer therapy. Here, we investigate the biological properties of dynAP including structural and functional analysis of the sugar chains in dynAP and identified lead antibodies and chemicals targeting dynAP. These findings would promote dynAP targeting drug development.
