Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Rer1 is a retrieval receptor for endoplasmic reticulum (ER) retention of various ER membrane proteins and unassembled or immature components of membrane protein complexes. We show that Rer1 is required for the sufficient cell surface expression and activity of γ-secretase complex, which modulates Notch signaling during mouse cerebral cortex development. When Rer1 was depleted in the mouse cerebral cortex, the number of neural stem cells decreased significantly, and malformation of the cerebral cortex was observed. In Rer1-deficient cells, a subpopulation of γ-secretase complexes and components was transported to and degraded in lysosomes, thereby significantly reducing the amount of γ-secretase complex on the cell surface. These results suggest that Rer1 maintains Notch signaling by maintaining sufficient expression of the γ-secretase complex on the cell surface and regulating neural stem cell maintenance during cerebral cortex development.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
γ-セクレターゼはアルツハイマー病の原因の1つであるβアミロイドの産生に働くことが知られています。また、個体発生や幹細胞維持に機能するNotchシグナルの異常は、神経疾患やガンを含めた様々な疾患を引き起こすことが知られています。このことから、今回の成果は、γ-セクレターゼや幹細胞の関係する疾患の発症機構の解明や治療法開発への応用が期待できます。
