| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Proteins are altered their structure by phosphorylation, and their functions are changed. Thus, the phosphorylation is key mechanism that involved in regulation of physiological functions. However, relationships between structural-switch and functional-switch by phosphorylation are still unclear. Elucidations of these relationships are expected to facilitate to elucidate mechanisms of phosphrylation-related diseases including cancer. We employed the structural switch of Pin1, that binds to phosphorylated proteins, to develop a novel detection system of phosphorylation-induced structural switch. Characterizations of the Pin1-dirived sensor protein indicated that this sensor protein can detect structural switch of Pin1 induced by phosphorylated sequence.
