Research Abstract	(1)低温と凍結に対する不飽和膜脂質の保護効果の研究:1価の不飽和脂肪酸しか生合成できないラン藻Synechococcusに新たな不飽和化酵素の遺伝子を導入し、膜脂質の不飽和結合数を増加させることに成功した。この遺伝子導入株および昨年度に作製したラン藻Synechocystisの不飽和化酵素の遺伝子破壊株の解析から、低温に対する不飽和膜脂質の保護効果の作用部位は,光化学系II複合体のD1タンパク質前駆体のC末端のプロセシングであることを明らかにした。 (2)低温と凍結に対するベタインの保護効果の研究:土壌細菌のコリンオキシダーゼ遺伝子をシロイヌナズナおよびイネに導入することでベタイン合成能を獲得した形質転換植物の作製に成功した。これらの形質転換植物では、塩、低温、高温、強光に対する耐性の増強がみられた。特にシロイヌナズナについては、種子の吸水時と発芽時における低温および高温に対する耐性が増強していることを明らかにした。 (3)新しい低温適応因子の研究:不飽和化酵素の遺伝子破壊により膜脂質の不飽和度が温度によって変化しなくなったラン藻Synechocystisの変異株を取得した。これを用いて新しい低温適応因子の単離に向けて予備実験を行った。 (4)低温センサーと低温シグナル伝達系の研究:ラン藻Synechocystisの4種の不飽和化酵素遺伝子が低温に対して異なった発現応答を示すことを明らかにした。低温刺激に対して最も重要なΔ9不飽和化酵素の遺伝子発現は構成的であったが、次に重要なΔ12不飽和化酵素の遺伝子は比較的ゆっくりと応答し、あまり重要でないΔ6とΔ15不飽和化酵素の各遺伝子が最も早く応答した。またラン藻Synechocystisを用いたランダムな遺伝子破壊およびセンサーキナーゼと推定される遺伝子群の破壊による低温シグナル伝達系に異常をきたした変異株を多数取得した。
