| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Intracellular pH plays important roles in the signal transduction via second messengers such as cAMP, calcium ion and phosphatidylinositol. However it remains unknown how intracellular pH change works in the cellular signal transduction. To investigate the role of intracellular pH, we constructed Dictyostelium discoideum strain expressing pH-sensitive fluorescent protein and observed cytoplasmic pH changes and second messengers simultaneously by fluorescence microscopy. And we developed new FRET based pH-sensitive fluorescent protein, which works as a highly sensitive pH probe. We could observe periodical changes of intracellular ion concentrations following spontaneous cAMP oscillations.
