Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Ewing sarcoma is a bone or soft tissue cancer, which is caused by chromosomal rearrangement. The resulting EWS-FLI1, EWS-ERG, EWS-E1AF show oncogenic activity, but its molecular mechanism is almost unclear. To identify binding partners for EWS-FLI1, I performed Two-hybrid screening for human cDNA and co-immunoprecipitation of EWS-FLI1. As a result, no binding partners were obtained in the two-hybrid screening, but RBM14 was obtained in the co-immunoprecipitation screening. Further, I tried BioID method, which is proximity biotination assay for target proteins. I obtained SFPQ, NONO, PSPC1, and FUS, which are part of paraspecle components, as a interaction partner. However, these proteins did not show any interaction for EWS-FLI1. Now, I have tried development of piggybac system of BioID method for EWS-FLI1.
