Research Abstract

抗体の多様性を生む機構であるクラススイッチ組換えと体細胞突然変異に必須の因子activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID)は構造上、RNA編集酵素のファミリーに属しており、RNA編集活性があると考えられるがその作用機序は不明である。AIDの機能を解明するために、本来はクラススイッチ組換えや体細胞突然変異を起こさない線維芽細胞株NIH3T3にレトロウイルスベクターを用いてAIDを強制発現させた。テトラサイクリン誘導プロモーターにより組換え標的の転写を制御できるクラススイッチ組換えの人工基質が組込まれたNIH3T3細胞ではAIDの発現と人工基質の転写に依存して人工基質でのクラススイッチ組換えが誘導されることをフローサイトメトリーとPCR法により確認した。また、体細胞突然変異の人工基質となる変異GFP遺伝子を導入したNIH3T3細胞でも、AIDの発現と変異GFP遺伝子の転写に依存して人工基質上での突然変異が観察された。これらの人工基質上での組換えや突然変異のDNA塩基配列から見た特徴は抗体遺伝子で認められるものと共通であり、抗体遺伝子で起きている反応を再現しているものと考えられた。ごれらの実験からクラススイッチ組換えや体細胞突然変異に関与するAID以外の因子はBリンパ球のみならず、線維芽細胞においても発現していることが分かった。また、AIDによる突然変異は抗体遺伝子に限られないことも明らかとなった。
