| Research Abstract |
The DjA2 knockout mice showed lethal respiratory failure after birth. This was caused by insufficient alveolar expansion and the type 2 pneumocytes from the knockout mice had abnormal acidity in the lumen of lysosomal acidic organelle. To elucidate the molecular mechanism of maintaining homeostasis in the acidic organelle, I analyzed the pnumocytes by a physiological approach using ratiometry, the DjA2 by a molecular interaction study using Biacore, and the lung tissue by a proteomics approach.
