| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We prepared polyclonal antibodies against Sbno1 protein, Western blot analysis using these antibodies detected different band pattern, suggesting that Sbno1 protein is regulated by cleavage. Sbno1 knockout mice showed premature neuronal differentiation, extinction of the neural stem cells, and apoptosis. Yeast two hybrid screening identified several molecules interacting with Sbno1. Our analyses suggested that one of these is transcription factor regulating cell differentiation, some of these are involved in regulation of cell cycle, and rest of these is deubiquitination enzyme which downregulates apoptosis. These findings suggest that Sbno1 function is regulated after protein translation, probably by protein cleavage mechanisms. Sbno1 can bind to multiple factors of different function, such as regulation of cell differentiation, cell cycle, and apoptosis. Thus, Sbno1 is a molecule which integrates these cellular processes.
