Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim is to identify the molecular mechanism which regulates intercellular crosstalk by SOCS box protein SSB. We identified SSB-binding proteins. Given that SSB is a ubiquitin ligase, we checked the stability of SSB-binding proteins and found that one of the candidate accumulated by knockdown of SSB. The candidate has been reported as a tumor suppressor gene and also as a oncogene. We are currently studying the physiological function of the candidate protein.
