Research Abstract |
To elucidate the mechanisms how activated receptor is recruited to clathrin coated pits, we screened yeast genome library, and identified Bmh2p, yeast homologue of 14-3-3 protein, as a binding protein for yeast GPCR. In addition, we tagged 13 human GPCR with GFP and succeeded in expressing in yeast cells. We also performed screening of about 80 % of yeast gene knock out strains for endocytosis defect, and identified about 200 genes that exhibited defects in endocytic transport.
