| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Two archaeal MCM (ssoMCM and mthMCM) proteins which have helicase activities to unwind double-stranded DNA to produce single-stranded DNA were observed by high-speed AFM (HS-AFM). The observation of the full-length ssoMCM protein on mica surface revealed the formation of ladder-like long-shaped oligomers and ring (or partial ring) structures composed of more than hexamer as well as hexameric ring structure with helicase activity (or partial hexameric ring structure). In addition, observation of biotinylated full-length mthMCM protein on the 2D crystals of tamavidin 2 confirmed the formation of hexameric ring and double hexameric ring (12 mer) structures.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
高速AFMを用いて、フレキシブルなC末端を含めた全長の古細菌由来MCMタンパク質を観察した結果、MCMタンパク質が六量体リング以外の多量体構造を形成し得ることを明らかにした。また、本研究の遂行過程で発見されたタマビジン２の二次元結晶をマイカ上に直接形成させる方法は、ビオチンを導入した生体分子の固定基板の簡便で迅速な作製法として有用であり、他の研究にも利用することができる。
