Outline of Final Research Achievements

The expression of MAT2A, the ubiquitous S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) synthetase in mammals, is regulated in a intracellular SAM-responsive manner. The feedback control is mediated by methyl-6-adenosine (m6A) modification occurring six specific adenosine residues in the hairpins located in the 3' UTR of the MAT2A mRNA. The research aimed at identification of RNA binding proteins interacting with the MAT2A 3'UTR. By comparing associating proteins between WT and m6A-site-mutant 3'UTR, we found RNA-binding proteins involved in the stability control of the MAT2A mRNA.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

mRNAの転写後調節は、遺伝子発現制御の主要な仕組みの一つである。m6A修飾はmRNAに見られる修飾のうち最も多いものであり、これによるRNA制御の分子メカニズムは近年の注目を集めている。本研究の結果はMAT2A mRNAを対象としてとりあげ、m6AによるRNA制御のメカニズムの理解に資するものであるとともに、m6A 制御や細胞内SAM 量調節の異常を原因とする疾患の研究のための基礎的な情報としても貢献できる可能性もある。
