Outline of Final Research Achievements

We aimed to elucidate the role of UBQLN2 in neurodegeneration of ALS/FTLD and polyglutamine disease. Using mass spectrometry equipment we tried to identify molecules that exhibit differential binding affinity for wild-type and mutant UBQLN2 causing ALS/FTLD. As a result, Hsc71 was identified as one of the proteins showing reduced binding affinity for mutant UBQLN2. Further, we found that binding with Hsc71 depends on PXX domain of UBQLN2. In addition, we created the total and neuron-specific UBQLN2 knockout mice by mating Ubqln2 flox/flox mice with Actb-Cre mice and the Tubb3-Cre mice, respectively.
