| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
(1) Results of EMSA（Electrophoresis Mobility Shift Assay） with some HapX deletion mutants strongly suggested that the 17 amino acid residues in the N-terminal domain plays an important role in the interaction of HapX and HapB/C/E complex. (2) The results of the in vivo analysis showed that the 17 amino acid residues is required for the function of HapX. (3) We have succeeded in obtaining sufficient amount of the recombinant C-terminal domain containing the Cysteine-rich regions. The results of spectroscopic analysis suggested the existence of iron-sulfur clusters. (4) We established the expression system for a HapX protein with TAP (Tandem Affinity Purification) tag in Aspergillus nidulans. When the HapX was purified under the mild conditions, some proteins interacting with HapX were detected.
