Research Abstract	調整班は、抗原認識の機構とそのシグナル伝達・細胞内変換機構の解明を目指し、リンパ球における活性化シグナル系と、アポトーシスを含む負のシグナル調節系を解析した。 (1)T細胞と抗原提示細胞のインターフェイスに作る免疫シナプスの形成の制御機構を解析した。Raftに局在するCbpとの会合分子EBP50を同定し、Cbp-EBP50-ERMの会合を通して、raftを細胞骨格に結合させ、raft凝集を負に制御していることが判明した。また、アダプター分子Gab2によるT細胞活性化の抑制機構として、SHP-2をリクルートする事と共に、活性化アダプターとLAT結合を競合する事も明らかにした。 (2)B細胞の活性化制御に関して、チロシンキナーゼ群とエフェクター群をカップルする役割を担うアダプター分子として、BLNK, BCAPを単離し、その役割解明を行った。BLNKはBCR刺激依存性に細胞膜の特殊な分画であるGEM分画に移行することがより下流のシグナル伝達、特にPLC-γ2の活性化に必須であること、および、新規のアダプター分子BCAPは、チロシン燐酸化されることがPI3K活性化に必須であることを明らかにした。 (3)BCRシグナルによるB細胞活性化の負の制御機構について解析を行った。未熟B細胞株ではBCR刺激によりアポトーシスが誘導されるが、その際、新規分子iWH37の合成が必須であることを見出した。iWH37はアポトーシスの際にミトコンドリアに局在し、VDAC, Bakと結合する。ミトコンドリアにiWH37が局在すると細胞死が誘導される。iWH37はBCR刺激により誘導されることから、未熟B細胞の細胞死に関与する新規分子と考えられる。一方、Bリンパ球においてSHP-1は抑制性共受容体により活性化され、BCRや近傍シグナル分子のリン酸化を負に制御して活性化を負に制御することを明らかにした。
