Research Abstract	RNAポリメラーゼは細菌では4種類のサブユニットからなり、亜鉛を含む多鎖金属酵素であり、また、活性中心にはマグネシウムが結合してRNA合成基質を捕捉する。RNAポリメラーゼは、多種多様な転写因子と相互作用をして転写対象の遺伝子の選択特性を変化させ、その結果、ゲノムの遺伝子の転写スペクトラムの変動がおきる。RNAポリメラーゼの特異性変換機構の解明を目的として、以下の研究を実施した。 (1)RNAポリメラーゼのサブユニット間相互作用、サブユニットと転写因子の相互作用のネットワーク、転写装置とDNA転写シグナルの相互作用を、鉄キレートFeBABEを蛋白に結合し、接触相手の蛋白の切断点を分析することで解明した。 (2)生物の金属結合蛋白質の全体像を理解する目的で、金属結合活性をもつ蛋白質の全てを同定する方法を開発した。本年度は、大腸菌全蛋白の中で、亜鉛結合活性をもつものを探索し、アミノ酸配列や質量分析から、多くの新規亜鉛結合蛋白質を同定した。
