The lab explores biological phenomena through the lens of selective protein degradation.
AboutAbout the lab
Decoding biological phenomena through protein degradation
The Chiba Lab studies the mechanism by which proteins in the body are selected and degraded (selective protein degradation) and its physiological roles.
Its central questions are how selective protein degradation is regulated and how it controls biological functions.
Abnormalities in selective protein degradation cause diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and lifestyle-related diseases.
Basic research of this kind is expected to help elucidate disease mechanisms and develop therapeutic drugs.
Key terms
- Selective protein degradation
- The selective recognition and degradation of specific proteins. It is essential for various physiological processes, including cell cycle progression.
- Ubiquitin-proteasome system
- A series of reactions carried out by E1, E2, and E3 enzymes that attach ubiquitin to target proteins and direct them to degradation by the proteasome.
- Proteasome
- A barrel-shaped protease (protein-degrading enzyme) complex that degrades proteins inside its core.
ResearchResearch themes
Proteins in living organisms are regulated not only by synthesis but also by degradation. The lab seeks to understand a wide range of biological phenomena from the perspective of protein degradation.
