Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We attempted to identify and characterize an unknown phospholipid scramblase molecule that acts on phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure by 3'-O- (4-Benzoylbenzoyl) adenosine 5'-triphosphoric acid (BzATP). We tried a genome-wide CRISPR screen for molecules responsible for BzATP-induced PS exposure with flow cytometry for cell sorting and a next-generation sequence. As a result, we identified a transmembrane protein, essential for reactive oxygen species (Eros), as a necessary component for P2X7 expression on the cell membrane and found that it is an important molecule for PS exposure by BzATP, similar to P2X7.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
ATPを介したPS暴露は、ATP駆動イオンチャネルP2X7を介したCa2+の細胞内の流入が引き金になっていると考えられてきた。しかしながら、Ca2+依存的に働くTMEM16Fが担っており、同時にCa2+非依存的な未知のリン脂質スクランブラーゼがあることは明らかだが、今回同定には至らなかった。この分子は分子機序が不明な細胞のPS暴露が関わっている生理的現象、例えば、筋芽細胞の融合や赤血球成熟に於いて排除された核のクリアランス等の現象を解明できるかもしれない。 また同定されたEros遺伝子は、炎症性サイトカインIL-1βの放出に重要であることが明らかになった。
