Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we tested the "multi-tubulin hypothesis" in which multiple tubulin isotypes contribute to the diversity of microtubule dynamics, using the nematode C. elegans as a model system. Using genome editing, all tubulin isotype genes (9 alpha and 6 beta genes) were systematically knocked out and tagged with GFP, and their expression patterns and loss-of-function phenotypes were analyzed. Each isotypes were expressed in specific cell types, and ectopic expression experiments proved that composition of tubulin isotypes contribute to the diversity of microtubule dynamics.
