Keywords	RNA / リボザイム / GNRA-receptor 4 / グループIイントロン / マキシザイム / U6snRNA / RNase P / 23SリボソームRNA
Research Abstract	・リボザイムの反応の分子機構の解析を、グループIイントロンRNAを材料として行い、そのactivator domainの作用機構及びこれまで未同定のGNRA-receptor motifの存在を明らかにした。また、同RNAの活性中心が存在するdomainの特定に成功した。(井上) ・昨年度報告したヘアピン型リボザイムを、さらに切断活性の高いthree-way型ribozymeを切り出すように変換し、これがヒト誘導型一酸化窒素合成酵素由来のmRNAを部位特異的に切断できることを示した。(小松) ・ 2量体として作用する世界最小のリボザイムを構築することに成功し、さらに、発現システムに工夫を加えることで細胞内において、野生型のリボザイムより高活性を示すマキシザイムの作成に成功した。(多比良) ・ U6snRNAがスプライシング反応の触媒因子として機能する可能性をin vitro反応系で検討したが、有為な結果は得られず、in vivoにおいてさらに機能解析を行うため、U6snRNAに変異を導入した分裂酵母株を作製中である。(谷) ・大腸菌と枯草菌のRNase Pは、活性中心をもつM1 RNAとタンパク質から成る複合体酵素である。それぞれのタンパク質の大量発現系を構築し同酵素の機能構造相関の解析を進めている。また、volvoxの初期発生に関わるG167RNAの解析を開始した。(白石) ・試験管内転写により調製された大腸菌由来の23SリボソームRNAを用いるペプチド結合生成反応の解析をさらに進めている。(新田) ・グアノシンに対するRNAアプタマーの解析を行った.このグアノシン結合RNAの基質特異性の交換には、グアノシン結合RNAのインターナル・ループ内の特定の1個のヌクレオチド残基が関わっている事を明らかにした。(坂本)
