Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Pyrenocine A induces monopolar spindle against HeLa cells. To reveal the mechanism of action, we analyzed the localization of pyrenocine A in a cell using pyrenocine A-alkyne derivative. As a result, the derivative was found to localize to centrosome, which suggested that pyrenocine A bound to proteins at centrosome. To identify target proteins of pyrenocine A, we purified pyrenocine A-binding proteins using pyrenocine A-alkyne derivatives. The obtained binding proteins were found to be enolase 1 and elongation factor 1-alpha 1 by LCMS/MS analysis.
