Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I homogenized the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) ,separated them to each fraction by chromatography, and performed the cell cluster formation assay. I found that a single fraction has cell cluster formation activity and it contained some proteins derived from the ribosome. Then, I purified the ribosome from LAB by the ultra centrifugation, and performed the same cell cluster formation assay. Interestingly, it showed the cell clusters formation. From these results, I confirmed that the reprogramming material from LAB is ribosome (Ito et al., revised).
