| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In Aspergillus oryzae, isomaltose that is converted from maltose incorporated into the cell, is involved in the activation of the transcription factor AmyR, while in Aspergillus luchuensis and Aspergillus nidulans, isomaltose extracellularly converted from maltose is involved in AmyR activation, indicating that regulation mechanism for AmyR activation is different among these three Aspergillus fungi. In A. luchuensis, the acid-stable α-amylase is under the control of AmyR but not under the control of FlbC. The acid-unstable α-amylase, Taka-amylase ortholog, is constitutively produced, suggesting the existence of a different regulation from AmyR. The cis-element bound by the transcription factor FlbC could be identified by gel shift assay.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
アミラーゼの生産制御に関与する転写因子AmyRの活性化機構や固体培養特異的な発現を制御する転写因子FlbCの解析から、同じアスペルギルスに属する糸状菌でもアミラーゼ生産制御機構に似たところはあるものの、異なる分子機構を有していることが明らかになってきた。本研究成果により、学術モデルから産業利用されるアスペルギルスまでをカバーしたアミラーゼ生産制御機構の全容が明らかになるだけでなく、他の糸状菌における有用分解酵素の生産制御機構解明への道を開くことにつながることが期待される。
