Research Abstract |
We studied the functions of Trichoplein and Albatross that bind to keratin intermediate filaments. We found that keratin and Albatross play an important role in the polarization of epithelial cells, and that Trichoplein is localized at centrosomes and is involved in the regulation of primary cilia formation. On the other hand, we found novel regulatory mechanisms of Chk1, which has important functions in the DNA damage checkpoint, via its phosphorylation.
