| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Archaea constitutes the third domain of life. Although chromosome architecture of Archaea is believed to be a primitive version of eukaryotic chromosome system, control of gene expression is currently only understood as activation and repression by transcription factors. Archaeal proteins that control both chromosome architecture and gene expression are starting to be understood. In this research, I tried to elucidate the mechanism underlying this coordinated control of chromosome structure and function.
