| Research Abstract |
As a result of the analysis about regulatory mechanism of IPAS- induced cell death, we have shown that IPAS was bound to pro-survival Bcl-2 family proteins, such as Bcl-xL. Furthermore, IPAS was bound to PINK1 and Parkin in a mitochondria uncoupler, CCCP-dependent manner, leading to ubiquitination and degradation of IPAS. To elucidate the physiological function of IPAS in neuronal cell death in vivo, we performed the production of IPAS knockout mouse. We have already obtained IPAS chimera mice.
