Outline of Annual Research Achievements

本研究では、五つの到達目標を定めて、「SFTSVの細胞内複製機構を制御する新しい治療薬開発の基盤を構築する」ことを目指した。本研究では細胞内動態を評価するライブセルイメージングシステム、転写・複製を評価するミニゲノムアッセイ系、ウイルス粒子形成・出芽を評価するウイルス様粒子系を構築することで、ウイルスの分子機能解析を行う基盤を整えた。またリボヌクレオプロテイン複合体(RNP)のコアを形成するヌクレオプロテイン(NP)については、機能的ドメインの報告は限られており、RNPの形成及び他のウイルスタンパク質との相互作用に関わる領域は同定されていなかった。そこでNP変異体を構築し、各種アッセイ系で変異体の機能解析を行った。
三年間のプロジェクトで、本年は最終年であった。初年度に到達目標1:感染細胞におけるRNPおよびウイルス粒子の細胞内動態をライブセルイメージング顕微鏡で明らかにする、および到達目標2: RNPやウイルス粒子の細胞内輸送における分子機構を明らかにするための非感染性のライブセルイメージングシステムを構築する、を達成した。これにより、SFTSV感染細胞におけるウイルス粒子の動きを制御するタンパク質が表面抗原タンパク質GPであり、NPはGPと共輸送されることがわかった。2年目は、NPタンパク質のペプチドモチーフに着目し、転写・複製を制御するアミノ酸領域を同定した。さらに同定したNPペプチドモチーフについて、相互作用する宿主因子の機能解析を進めた(到達目標4:ウイルスRNP形成および輸送を介在する宿主細胞因子を同定する)。3年目は、到達目標3 :リバースジェネティクスを用いて組換えウイルスを構築する、および、到達目標5:RNPおよびRNP様構造を精製し微細構造解析を行う、を進めた。以上を通して、ウイルスの複製機構を解明し特異的な治療薬を開発するための基盤を構築した。
