Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Budding yeast strains in which ageing-related organelles are visualized by C-terminal tagging with green or red fluorescent protein were constructed. Live cell imaging conditions for these strains were optimized. To achieve long-term time-lapse live cell imaging, a microfluidics-based stage top cell culture device was introduced on a microscope. On the device, cell culture conditions for high efficiency sporulation induction were optimized. By development of BiFC system of novel bright fluorescent protein, RENT complexes containing an ageing-related factor, Sir2, were successfully visualized in living yeast cells.
