| Research Abstract |
Three kinds of structural research relating to the transportation were carried out. The first is the nuclear export mechanism of pre-miRNA. The second is structural study of vault that carries materials in the cell. The third is structural-functional studies of gap junction channels.
Structures of Exportin-5:RanGTP:Pre-miRNA complex, Exportin-5:RanGTP complex and Exportin-5 were determined at respective 2.9, 3.0 and 3.5 A resolutions. Comparing structures of exportin-5s in three different states and analyzing interactions between Pre-miRNA and Exportin-5, we elucidated Pre-miRNA transportation mechanism by Exportin-5:RanGTP complex. We have determined the 39-fold symmetry for the MVP-vault in addition to the vault from rat liver. Consequently, the 39-fold symmetry of vault was confirmed. We elucidated docking selectivity rules for hemichannel pairs by homology modeling based on the connexin-26 gap junction channel and functional analyses.
