Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The interaction between Coronin-1 in host cells and Lipoamide dehydrogenase C (LpdC) from mycobacteria is considered the cause of intracellular parasitism of pathogenic mycobacteria. In this study, we demonstrated the direct association of Coronin-1 and LpdC which are recombinant proteins by pull-down assay. And this association was indicated possible regulation by phosphorylation of Thr-412 on Coronin-1. Furthermore, we elucidated that LpdA which is M. smegmatis (non-pathogenic mycobacteria) homologue of LpdC also associated with Coronin-1. This result suggested that differences other than association with Coronin-1 of Lpds are involved in intracellular survival.
