Research Abstract	複製開始領域:四宮はショウジョウバエの複製開始点を1kb以下の解像度で調べ、開始点はAT含量の高い位置と一致し、核マトリックス結合部位によって挟まれていることを明らかにした。白髭は出芽酵母の第六染色体を用いて複製開始点の活性化制御機構について解析を行い、初期開始点と後期開始点ではヌクレオソームの配置が異なることを見いだした。複製開始タンパク質:升方は分裂酵母を用いてORCサブユニットOrp1が異なるC末領域を介して、Cdc18とMCMの複製開始点の結合に関わること、Cdc45の結合に新規因子が必要なことを明らかにした。滝澤はアフリカツメガエル卵無細胞複製系を用いてCdc45はDNA2本鎖を開きDNAポリメラーゼαを染色体上に結合させる過程に必須であり、DNAポリメラーゼεの染色体結合に必要であることを示した。正井は分裂酵母Cdc7キナーゼ複合体の遺伝学的な解析を行い、Cdc7キナーゼはMcm2,Rad3およびRad21と相互作用することを示した。またノックアウトマウスを用い、動物細胞のCdc7類似遺伝子がDNA複製と細胞増殖に必須であることを明らかにした。複製開始制御:田中は分裂酵母を用いて新たに同定したEso1がDNA複製複合体に局在し、新たに合成された姉妹染色体をその場で繋ぎとめると同時に、複製フォークの進行が阻害された時には障害をバイパスさせる因子であることを示した。片山はDNAポリメラーゼIIIによるDnaA不活性化の分子機構を解析し、同調培養細胞を用いて、複製周期と共役したDnaA蛋白質の活性フォームの変換が起こり複製開始後に不活性型に移行することを明らかした。複製関連遺伝子群発現制御:松影はショウジョウバエDREFのヒトホモログ(hDREF)のcDNAを単離し、hDREFタンパク質が特的なDNA配列に結合し、ヒトサイトメガロウイルスの極初期遺伝子の発現調節領域に存在するサイレンサーエレメントに結合する細胞性因子であることを証明した。
