Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Living organism utilize various signaling molecules to regulate themselves. Among them, InsPns are known to regulate intracellular Ca2+ concentrations and control cellular responses such as transcription and translation. Individual InsPns are very similar to each other, with only subtle differences. Nevertheless, they each play their own roles as a signaling molecule. Therefore, it will be useful to develop a technique that can monitor each of the InsPns in a live cell in real time. In this study, we have developed fluorescence based sensors that can specifically monitor several InsPns, to elucidate their physiological roles.
