| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The genetic factors involved in the coordination and regulation of intestinal granular organelles were investigated, using the soil nematode C.elegans. For comprehensive genetic analysis, we performed feeding RNAi screening, which is popular in C. elegans. Out of 11,479 independent clones, 142 clones displayed the significant decrease of major large gut granules in the worms. Some of these clones also showed the tremendous accumulation of birefringent granules, which is minor in normal worms. These results would be a foundation for further understanding the coordination of various intestinal granules and other organelles.
