Research Abstract	蛋白質膜透過反応中に、SecGの膜内配向性は反転・復帰を繰り返していることを見出した。この構造変化によって、SecAの膜内への挿入と離脱が促進され、膜透過反応の効率が上昇することを示している(徳田)。変異蛋白質の膜透過をin vitroで解析し、膜透過は約30アミノ酸残基単位で段階的に進行することを明らかにした(森)。膜透過反応初期過程を詳細に解析する系を開発した。SecEとSecGは直接結合していること、この結合にはsecYのそれぞれ異なる領域との相互作用が重要であることを明らかにした。SecAの膜挿入に影響するSecY変異を見出した(伊藤)。エンドウ葉緑体SecAと、シロイヌナズナ葉緑体SecYの遺伝子のクローニングに成功した。エンドウSecAはシアノバクテリアSecAと一次構造上、高い相同性を示し、両者の進化的近縁性が示唆された。エンドウSecAがタンパク質のチラコイド膜透過に直接関与していることを証明した。(遠藤)。リン脂質平面膜法を用い以下を明らかにした。精製SecYおよびSecEはイオンチャンネルを形成し、SecAはこのチャンネルを閉鎖する。SecGはチャンネルのコンダクタンスを上昇させる(平田)。枯草菌のSRP様粒子の構成成分、Ffhが前駆体蛋白質と複合体を形成すること、またFfhは枯草菌のscRNAとも結合することを明らかにした。Ffh変異株を用い、蛋白質前駆体とscRNAの結合部位は異なることを示した(山根)。
