| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
SNAP23 pancreas-specific knockout (KO) mice showed decreased and increased secretion of amylase and insulin, respectively, which was published in JCB. Brain-specific SNAP23 KO mice showed defects in both cerebral and cerebellar cortex, which is being prepared for publication. We showed defects in apical transport in Rab11a KO mice, which was published in Biology Open.
We identified many genes involved in cell polarity. Two of them, Rab1a and BIG1, an activator of Arf, was knocked out in the mice and the results of BIG1 KO mice was published in Plos One. Other genes, such as Rab1, 11b, syntaxin3 were already knocked out and being analyzed. In addition, we identified novel binding proteins for Rab8 and Rab11. We analyzed their roles in vitro and in vivo and the results were published recently in JCB.
