| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Protein Phosphorylation and dephosphorylation is a key mechanism for regulation of protein functions. Human PPM1 phosphatase family is composed of 12 members that play important roles in wide variety of cellular responses, such as differentiation, cell cycle regulation, and metabolism. However, there is not a versatile method to find cellular targets and substrates for these phosphatases. In this study, we designed a new method for identifying substrates and demonstrated that this method is very effective.
