研究開始時の研究の概要 |
Microtubules (MTs) have recently gained attention as mechanosensors. Based on the finding that mechanically deformed MTs alter kinesin transport dynamics, I hypothesize that MTs are mechanotransducers. The present study will utilize the recently developed "micro stretcher" that applies mechanical stress on MTs in vitro and supports simultaneous fluorescence imaging to address issues like how mechanical stress-induced deformation of MT affect motor protein transport dynamics, if the dynamics are restored upon withdrawing stress and its theoretical basis from molecular dynamics simulation.
