| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Intracellular quality control system surveys gene products to ensure the accuracy of gene expression. Furthermore, interaction of quality control systems promotes cell adaptation in various stress conditions. Because intracellular quality control is tightly associated with many diseases including diabetes, neuronal degeneration and tumorigenesis, the molecular mechanism of quality control systems is expected to be elucidated.
We recently published the novel interaction of RNA surveillance system and protein quality control in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that is known as ER quality control. The defects in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) provokes UPR activation in the both of mammalian cells and the nematode C.elegans.
In here, we analyzed the role of NMD-associated genes by using C.elegans, and revealed that the expand of UPR activation by NMD deficiency depends on mutant alleles. This observation might be important to elucidate its role and mechanism in UPR activation.
