| Research Abstract |
In order to find a clue to identify the function of the functionally unknown genes, we categorized them based on their transcriptional regulation, using Thermus thermophilus HB8 as a model organism. Genetic information in DNA is transcribed to mRNA, which is often regulated by protein called transcription factor. In many cases, the transcription reaction of several genes sharing similar cellular functions is simultaneously regulated by a transcription factor. Here, we investigated the function of four novel transcription factors, and identified six functionally unknown genes which were transcriptionally regulated together with functionally identified genes. This study may lead to identify the function of the functionally unknown genes.
