| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We discovered that the activation of Sirt3 processing plays an important role of the improvement of mitochondrial (MT) quality control by anti-aging and prolongevity actions of calorie restriction. In the processing of the MT protein, MT signal peptidases are involved. We found that two signal peptidases, MPP and Mipep, were involved in the processing of Sirt3 protein. In addition, CR upregulated the expression of Mipep but not MPP. Therefore, we considered Mipep is important to the improvement of CR-associated MT quality control. In order to prove in vivo, the organ-specific Mipep-deficient mice were created. In the future, we are going to analyze these mice.
