Research Abstract	慢性関節リュウマチ患者において、好中球活性化サイトカインLECT2(leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin2)の58番目のVal残基がIle残基に置換されている患者ほど、疾病の重篤度が高いことが明らかになっている。そこで、本研究では、LECT2とそのレセプター相互関係を調べるために、LECT2の高次構造解析およびそのレセプターLECT2の高次構造解析を目的とした。すなわち、LECT2の機能発現による58番目のVal残基のメチレン基1つ分の役割がいかに重要かを構造解析およびレセブター相互関係から明らかにする。 1.NMRを用いた高次構造解析においては、安定同位体標識したサンプル調製法の確立とNMR測定とスペクトルの解析を行った。現在までのところ、主鎖のスペクトル帰属はほぼ完了し、二次構造情報まで得られた。 2.X線結晶構造解析においては、動物細胞を用いた発現系の導入とサンプル調製法を確立した。X線結晶構造解析を目指した結晶化を試みた結果、結晶が得られ、X線を当てた結果、分解能1.8Åのデータが得られた。
