| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have found that the ubiquitin proteasome (UP) system, which is an intracellular system involved in proteolysis, plays an important role in determination of the sensitivity of yeast cells to methylmercury. In the present study, we searched the enzymes, which affect the methylmercury toxicity, among enzymes involved in the UP system in human cells. As a result, we succeeded in identifying four kinds of ubiquitin transferases, ten kinds of de-ubiquitin enzymes, eight kinds of ubiquitin ligases and six kinds of F-box protein. In addition, we identified several kinds of proteins which participated in expression of the methylmercury toxicity from the proteins which are the substrate of the UP system.
