Outline of Research at the Start

生殖細胞では体細胞分裂から減数分裂への切り替えに伴って、減数分裂仕様に特化されたクロマチン構造の再構築が起きている。DNAメチル化、ヒストン修飾による半保存的に非ゲノム情報複製を行う体細胞とは対照的に、この再構築は減数分裂直前にむしろその構造を解消するように働くと推定される。本研究では、減数分裂期のクロマチン構造の解析を通して、生殖細胞系列と体細胞系列の非ゲノム情報複製に関わる様式の違いを明らかにする。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

We identified a novel factor, MEIOSIN, which acts as a switch from mitosis to meiosis in mouse germ cells, and found that germ cells lacking MEIOSIN fail to initiate meiosis and become infertile with testicular and ovarian atrophy in both males and females. It was also found that many uncharacterized genes were among those directly regulated by MEIOSIN. Analysis of these gene-disrupted mice led to the identification of several novel factors that play essential roles in meiosis.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

長年の懸案とされていた減数分裂の開始機構の解明に大いにインパクトを与える学術的成果をもたらした。さらに、体細胞分裂と減数分裂の違いを生み出す染色体構造の構築メカニズムの解明に突破口を拓いた点で国際的にもインパクトの高い重要な成果が得られた。本研究により減数分裂開始因子の親玉を押さえたことで体細胞分裂と減数分裂との本質的な違いを決定付けるメカニズムの全容解明に向けて、国際的にも圧倒的に有利な状況で今後の研究を推進できる体制を築くことができた。
