Research Abstract	1.新しいモーター分子群KIFsのさらなる探索とその分子細胞生物学的解析。微小管結合及びATP結合の共有配列をもちい、海馬・小脳・脊髄・腎臓・精巣・網膜等のcDNAライブラリーを使って、KIFIC,KIF6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13A,13B,14,15,16A,16B,17の15の新しいKIF遺伝子を発見しクローニングを行い、一次構造の決定と組織別の発現を解析した。 2.KIF3A/3Bヘテロダイマーに結合する関連蛋白KAP3(Kinesin superfamily associated protein 3)を同定しその遺伝子のクローニング、一次構造の決定を行いさらにKAP3を単独あるいはKIF3A/3Bと同時に発現させその構造を電子顕微鏡で観察、KAP3がKIF3A/3Bヘテロダイマーの尾部に結合し球状の蛋白でありおそらく膜小器官とKIF3A/3Bの結合を制御しているであろうことを示した。 3.C末型KIF,KIFC2の分子細胞生物学的解析。 KIFC2のcDNAクローニング及び一次構造を決定した(792a.a.)。KIFC2はホモダイマーを形成し、神経系特に神経細胞に特異に発現され、神経細胞の細胞体と樹状突起に多く局在し、軸索にはほとんどなく、Multivesicular body様膜小器官を輸送するモーター分子であることが分った。 4.細胞骨格蛋白の遅い輸送の分子機構を明らかにするためcaged fluorescein tubulinを培養神経細胞内へ微量注入しその後紫外線による蛍光活性化を行った。一方すぐれた抗蛍光抗体を作り、それを用いた電子顕微鏡レベルの免疫細胞化学で蛍光活性化されたチュブリン分子の動態を明らかにした。又ニューロフィラメントM蛋白遺伝子にmycの標識をつけ、生きたマウスの後根知覚神経細胞にアデノウィルスを用いて導入し、その運命を免疫細胞化学的に解析しチュブリン、ニューロフィラメント蛋白ともポリマーとしてではなく小さなオリゴマーとして微小菅に沿って輸送されることを明らかにした。 5.KIF1A,KIF3A,KIF5,Brain dyneinのgene targetingを行った。現在その分子細胞生物学的解析を行っている。KIF1A-/-マウスは生後24時間以内にほとんど死亡し、重度の運動障害と知覚障害を示した。神経系を解析するとシナプス密度及びシナプス内でのシナプス小胞密度の著名な減少がみとめられ、又中枢神経系にfocal neuronal cell deathがみとめられKIF1Aがシナプス小胞の前駆体を輸送し神経細胞の機能発現と生存に必須の役割を果たしていることが示された。 6.キネシン頭部と微小菅の複合体の微細構造をクライオ電子顕微鏡で解析し、ATP水解の各ステップの構造変化をAMP・PNP,ADP・ADPi存在下で解析し3次元の再構成を現在行っている。
