| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Koji mold (Aspergillus oryzae) is an important microorganism used to brew sake etc in Japan. Koji mold is also useful for the protein production such as enzymes. Its safety is guaranteed due to its long history of use in the food manufacturing industry, and much attention is gained as an attractive host for the useful protein production used in various foods and medical treatments, etc. In this research we tried to elucidate high capability of protein secretion with koji mold by molecular and cellular biology techniques and by making good use of genome information, for the purpose of using as a cell factoryfor useful protein production. Finally I could get following results; 1)functional analysis of cargo receptor genes, 2) Elucidation of autophagy related genes, 3) Discovery of filamentous fungi specific autophagy, nucleophagy, and 4) Identification of a new gene responsible for hyper secretion.
