| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Yip1p and Yif1p are multi-span trans-membrane proteins reported to function in the vesicular transport between the ER and the Golgi apparatus. Nine homologues were found in mammalian cells although the functions of those proteins remain largely unknown. Especially, the localization and the function of YIPF1, YIPF2 and YIPF6 have never been analyzed. Immunofluorescence analyses revealed that YIPF1, YIPF2 and YIPF6 localize in trans-Golgi. In addition, gene knockdown and drug treatment analyses showed that YIPF1 and YIPF2 support the assembly of the Golgi apparatus and facilitate the glycosylation in mucin secretory cells.
