| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The function and structure of cell membranes are strongly influenced by lipids, the main constituents of cell membranes. Therefore, cells are thought to actively regulate their lipid composition, but the molecular mechanisms of this regulation are not well understood. In this study, we analyzed the regulatory mechanisms of cellular lipid composition using Drosophila, which has a simple lipid composition and few gene duplications. To generate model cell lines with altered lipid composition, we established cell lines deficient in DESAT1, an enzyme that introduces a cis-double bond into fatty acid moiety. Furthermore, we found a number of genes whose expression is altered in DESAT1-deficient cells.
