Research Abstract	本研究では、低分子量G蛋白質のうち、Ras、Rho、およびRab3Aに焦点をあてて、これらの低分子量G蛋白質の活性化機構、機能および作用機構について検討した。RasとRhoの活性化機構については、私共が見い出しているSmgGDS(RasとRhoに作用するGDP/GTP交換反応促進蛋白質)に結合する新しい蛋白質を見い出し、SMAP(SmgGDS-Associated Protein)と命名した。また、私共は、既に世界に先駆けてRasの標的蛋白質を精製し、これがB-Rafと14-3-3蛋白質の複合体であることを明らかにしている。RasファミリーのRaplの作用機構として、これまでにRasに対して阻害的に働く機構と促進的に働く機構とが提唱されていたが、本研究において、私共は、RaplがB-Rafを活性化することを明らかにし、RaplがRasの機能に対して促進的に作用する機構が存在することを明らかにした。一方、私共を含めたいくつかのグループによって、Rhoがアクチン系を介して種々の細胞機能を制御していることが明らかにされている。本年度、私共は、Rhoが細胞外Ca^<2+>によって誘起されるadherens junctionとtight junctionの形成にも関与していることを明らかにした。さらに、Rhoは、アクチン細胞骨格系と細胞膜との結合を制御するERM-CD44系を介してアクチン細胞骨格系の再編成を制御していることを明らかにした。また、酵母をモデル系に用いて、酵母RHO1の標的蛋白質がPKC1(Cキナーゼホモログ)、BNI1(細胞質分裂関連蛋白質)、およびグルカン合成酵素であることを明らかにした。他方、Rab3Aは神経伝達物質の放出を制御しており、私共は、Rab3Aの標的蛋白質としてRabphilin3Aを見い出している。本研究において、私共は、Rabphilin-3Aに類似し、C2様ドメインを二つ持つ蛋白質を見い出してDoc2(Double C2)と命名した。さらに、Rabphilin-3AもDoc2も共にエクソサイトーシス(開口分泌)を制御していることを明らかにした。以上の結果を得たことにより、本年度の研究計画はほぼ達成できたと考えている。
