Outline of Final Research Achievements

To elucidate the mechanism underlying the secretion of 14-3-3sigma, a series of experiments have been performed and the following results have been obtained.First, the analysis using various deletion mutants of 14-3-3sigma indicate that the N-terminal 82 amino acids region is important for its binding to CLSP. Treatment with brefendin results in the almost complete defect of 14-3-3sigma secretion. This result indicates that 14-3-3sigma is secreted via the so-called unconventional secretion pathway. Third, an secretion assay system has been established by which 14-3-3sigma, C-terminally tagged with Nanoluc, is overexpressed in cultured cells. Using this assay, the involvement of Grasp1 and Grasp2 in the secretion of 14-3-3sigma has been addressed. Until now, consistent results have not been obtained by the gain-of-function experiments or the loss-of-function experiments. Finally, no 14-3-3sigma-binding proteins other than CLSP have been identified.
