Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Phospholipids at plasma membranes are asymmetrically distributed between inner and outer leaflets by the action of a flippase(s). This asymmetrical distribution is disrupted by the action of a scramblase(s) in various biological processes. In this project, we identified two P4-type ATPases (ATP11A and ATP11C) as flippases, five TMEM16 family members (16C、16D, 16F, 16G and 16J) as Ca^<2+>-dependent scramblase, and three XKR family members (XKR4, XKR8 and XKR9) as caspase-dependent scramblase. We also showed that the engulfment of apoptotic cells proceeds in two steps of tethering and internalization.
