| Research Abstract |
I investigated the function of NRX that binds to Dvl, a Wnt signal transducer. Mice deficient for NRX gene were perinatally lethal and showed abnormal development of their bones and heart. Wnt signaling was hyperactivated in cells obtained form calvaria, but was downregulated in cells from the heart. This unexpected decrease in the activity of Wnt signaling was due to the reduction of Dvl proteins caused by augmented ubiquitination. Also, I discovered that Fli-I is a novel binding partner for NRX, and found that NRX inhibits the innate immune response by linking Fli-I to MyD88.
