Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this work, I determined the crystal structure of a novel photosensor protein CarH, which uses vitamin B12 (adenosylcobalamin) as a sensor module to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of photo-sensing by CarH. I also determined the crystal structure of HypX, which catalyzes CO biosynthesis for the construction of the sensor module in hydrogen sensor protein, NiFe-type hydrogenase. In the CO biosynthesis by HypX, formyl-CoA is produced as an reaction intermediate through the formyl group-transfer from N10-formyl-THF to coenzyme A.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

これまでに例の無い新規な光センサータンパク質の分子構造を決定し、ビタミンB12(アデノシルコバラミン)が光センサータンパク質中で光応答のためのセンサー素子として機能することを明らかにした。また、水素センサータンパク質中のセンサーモジュールを構築するのに必須要素である一酸化炭素(CO)が、酵素反応により生合成されることを、CO生合成酵素の結晶構造を決定することにより明らかにした。これらの成果は、生物無機化学の新たな研究対象を提供するものであり、研究分野に新たな展開をもたらすことに寄与した。
