Outline of Final Research Achievements

Emergence of CRISPR system has revealed that bacteria also have acquired immunity. When bacteria are infected with phage, part of phage genome is inserted into CRISPR locus in bacteria. This system is called adaptation. In this study, I have tried to reconstruct the adaptation system in mammalian cells. For this, genes involved in adaptation system were codon-optimized and introduced into 293 cells. With detailed analysis by next generation sequencing, I have not detected positive signal for adaptation yet.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

Adaptationシステムは、本来、原核細胞に備わっている外来異物のゲノム情報を自らのCRISPR遺伝子座に取り込むシステムである。そのAdaptationシステムを哺乳細胞で構築する事ができれば、外来病原体の感染履歴をCRISPR遺伝子座を調べる事により、明らかにすることができる。さらに、将来的には同様のCRISPRシステムを有するモデル動物を作製する事により、個体レベルの感染状態をモニターすることが可能になることが期待できる。
