CRISPRa Analysis of Phosphoinositide Phosphatases Shows That TMEM55A Is a Positive Regulator of Autophagy.
Transcriptional activation, based on Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) and known as CRISPR activation (CRISPRa), is a specific and safe tool to upregulate endogenous genes. Therefore, CRISPRa is valuable not only for analysis of molecular mechanisms of cellular events, but also for treatment of various diseases. Regulating autophagy has been proposed to enhance effects of some therapies. In this study, we upregulated genes for phosphoinositide phosphatases, SACM1L, PIP4P1, and PIP4P2, using CRISPRa, and their effects on autophagy were examined. Our results suggested that TMEM55A/PIP4P2, a phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 4-phosphatase, positively regulates basal autophagy in 293A cells. Furthermore, it was also suggested that SAC1, a phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphatase, negatively regulates basal autophagic degradation.
期刊介绍:
Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin (Biol. Pharm. Bull.) began publication in 1978 as the Journal of Pharmacobio-Dynamics. It covers various biological topics in the pharmaceutical and health sciences. A fourth Society journal, the Journal of Health Science, was merged with Biol. Pharm. Bull. in 2012.
The main aim of the Society’s journals is to advance the pharmaceutical sciences with research reports, information exchange, and high-quality discussion. The average review time for articles submitted to the journals is around one month for first decision. The complete texts of all of the Society’s journals can be freely accessed through J-STAGE. The Society’s editorial committee hopes that the content of its journals will be useful to your research, and also invites you to submit your own work to the journals.
