| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
During development, a repulsive axon guidance cue semaphorin 3A (sema3A)-induced growth cone collapse is caused by macropinocytosis-mediated membrane retrieval. I have identified syntaxin1B as negative regulator of macropinocytosis in growth cones. In this study, I focused on the molecular mechanism of syntaxin1B-mediated macropinocytosis and found that syntaxin1B regulates the function of IP3R1 by binding with coiled-coil domain of IP3R1, thereby mediating Ca2+-dependent macropinocytosis.
