Outline of Research at the Start

高度好塩菌は、正と負の走光性機能を司る2つの光センサ型ロドプシン(SRI、SRII)をもっている.これらの分子は、光という共通刺激により誘起された反応を介した構造変化をそれぞれの共役タンパク質へと伝えることで情報伝達を行っているが、2つのケースで真逆の機能がもたらされる分子機構については不明である.本研究では、同じ好塩菌種(Haloarcula vallismortis)に由来する2つの安定なSRI、SRIIを用いた物性解析と機能変換実験からこの問題を明らかにし、その知見をもとに、細胞内シグナル伝達をはじめとする異種タンパク質同士の分子間相互作用機序の基礎的理解へとつなげることがねらいである.

Outline of Final Research Achievements

The final goal of this study is to clarify the determinants for performing different functions between two kinds of sensor-type microbial rhodopsins, sensory rhodopsin I (SRI) and II (SRII) in haloarchaea, which are associated with opposite phototactic behaviors. In this study, we carried out photochemical characterizations and mutational analysis for their function conversion in highly stable SRI and SRII from Haloarcula vallismortis (HvSRI and HvSRII). Site-directed mutagenesis experiments in amino-acid residues located in the retinal binding site revealed that N83 in HvSRII is one of the responsible residues for making the difference between two SRs because the replacement of the residue with Leu, which is the corresponding residue in HvSRI, most significantly changed its spectroscopic properties (absorption maximum wavelength and photocycle), resulting in that these features got closer to those of HvSRI.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究より、高度好塩菌が生存に優位な光環境を求めて移動するために用いている2つのロドプシン型光受容体の性質の違いを生んでいるアミノ酸残基の1つを同定することができた。残念ながら本研究の最終目標である走光性機能の転換をもたらすアミノ酸残基の特定には至らなかったが、その候補残基の1つを見出すことができたと考える。また、微生物由来のロドプシンは、ヒトなどの高等生物のもつロドプシンをはじめとするGタンパク質共役型受容体とは基本的には異なるものではあるが、活性化時の構造変化等では共通点も指摘されており、この研究で得られた知見は、異種タンパク質間でのシグナル伝達機構の一般的理解にも貢献するものと考える。
