Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Intracellular transport is essential for numerous cellar functions. Many vesicles and organelles are transported along microtubules bidirectionally by opposing MT motors such as dynein and kinesin. However, regulatory mechanism for bidirectional movement of cargos largely remains unclear. In this study, we investigate tug-of-war theory by reconstructing tug-of-war between opposing MT motors in Xenopus melanophore. We also showed MAP4 mediated transport regulation.
