| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the course of this study, I focused on the analysis of Cdc99, which is a cell-cycle related protein. In the ERAD defective strain, the expression of endogenous Cdc99 increased. However, because Cdc99 degradation was not significantly affected by the depletion of ERAD-related components, the transcription of Cdc99 might have been upregulated in ERAD defective strains. I am currently testing this hypothesis.
In this study, I also found a novel genetic interaction between ERAD and metal ion transport. I am currently testing if this interaction is mediated by Cdc99.
