Research Abstract	1.(1)ヒトVIP遺伝子が第6染色体q26→27に局在することをin situハイブリダイゼーションで明らかにした。(2)DNA footーprintingおよびgel retardation法の結果からヒトVIP遺伝子の転写開始点から66ー88塩基対上流に結合する核内因子の存在が見出された。この因子がAキナーゼやCキナーゼでリン酸化されVIPの転写が誘導される可能性が考えられた。(3)ペプチドC末端アミド化酵素をラット脳から精製した。精製酵素は分子量36KでCu^<2+>、アスコルビン酸、41K蛋白を要求する酸素添加酵素と考えられた。 2.(1)ヒトreg遺伝子の全構造を決定した。reg遺伝子は全長2921塩基対で6個のエキソンからなり、転写開始点から27塩基対上流にTATA boxを有していた。この遺伝子構造の解析から、reg蛋白、pancreatic stone protein、pancreatic thread proteinはreg遺伝子によりコードされる同一蛋白であることが明らかとなった。(2)ヒトreg遺伝子は第13染色体に、rig遺伝子は第3ー4染色体に局在することがspot blotハイブリダイゼーションにより推定されたが、ヒトゲノムにはこれらの遺伝子の関連配列や偽遺伝子が多数存在することが明らかになってきたので、これらの偽遺伝子の局在を含めて今後さらに検討する必要が生じてきた。(3)reg蛋白、rig蛋白をそれぞれyeast、大腸菌で大量生産させた。rig蛋白は145個の、reg蛋白はシグナルペプチドが切断された144個のアミノ酸から構成されており、その配列はcDNAから予想したものと一致した。reg蛋白についてはSーS架橋部位やαヘリックス・βシートなどの高次構造も明らかにした。
