Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The effects of phosphorylation on interaction of tau with ubiquitin conjyugating enzyme XIAP (X-linked Inhibitor to apoptosis protein) were analayzed. Wild typed tau and Met-deleted tau were prepared and pull-down assay was caried out using XIAP after phophorylation of both tau and both tau proteins were incubated with ubiquitination enzyme sources togather with XIAP, and the effects of phosphorylation on ubiquitinaation were evaluated. No signifivcant difference was observed between non-phosphorylated samples and phosphorylated ones. Then binding partner to phosphorylated TDP-43 was invesytigated employing phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated peptides coresponding to Ser409/Ser410 of TDP-43. Then specigfic binding proteins were purified.
