Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Although it was expected that existence of ER to Golgi protein transport regulatory system in ER stress induced cells, regulation of ER to Golgi protein transport remained unclear. Since rER membrane localized trimeric Gi2 protein regulated ER to Golgi protein transport, we examined relationship between ER stress responses and rER membrane localized trimeric G protein. Knockdown of trimeric Gi2 protein suppressed ER stress. Although PERK was activated in ER stress, knockdown of trimeric Gi2 protein inhibited CHOP activation, downstream signal molecule of PERK. Furthermore, knockdown of Gi2 protein inhibited ATF6 activation. This results suggests that rER membrane localized trimeric G protein involves in ER stress response. Thus, we conclude that rER membrane localized trimeric G protein is a new target of apoptosis regulation.
