| Research Abstract |
The ER and Golgi are dynamic organelles that assemble and disassemble during the cell cycle. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying these changes in organelle organization, I searched for novel factors that play a fundamental role in biogenesis and maintenance of the ER and Golgi, using live-imaging technique as a powerful tool. Using modified in vitro ER reformation assay technique and by biochemical approach, I identified a soluble factor sufficient for building and maintaining tubular ER lattice by itself.
