Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we established an in vitro protein synthesis/folding coupled system reconstituted with purified human translational factors and molecular chaperones. Using this system, we successfully identify the molecular chaperones that are essential for co- or post-translational folding of human nascent proteins. Thus, our in vitro approach can be a useful tool to analyze the molecular mechanisms of protein conformational disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease.
