酵母のグルコース抑制の研究
出芽酵母のアルコール発酵と好気呼吸の切り替えメカニズムを解明することは、酒類やエタノールの生産、そして酵母を用いた有用物質の生産に重要である。酵母におけるグルコース抑制とは、グルコースが好気呼吸代謝や他の糖代謝を抑制し，グルコースを用いたアルコール発酵を優先的に行う現象である。本研究室では、出芽酵母のリボソーム結合性分子シャペロン制御因子であるZuo1がグルコース抑制に必要であることを見いだし、Zuo1のグルコース抑制における役割を研究している(Yamada, et al., FEMS yeast research, 2023）。
Genomic methylation analysis
DNA methylation is a chemical reaction in which methyl group is added to 5-position of the cytocine of CpG dinucleotides in the mammalian genome. If a gene promoter region is methylated, the gene will be inactivated due to its chromatin condensation, or because transcription factors are physically unable to directly bind to the promoter region. In this context, we have developed HpaII-McrBC PCR (HM-PCR) method, which is a methylation analysis method based on genomic sequences. Then, we first identified a sequence-dependent allele-specific methylation on human chromosome 21 in peripheral blood leukocytes using the HM-PCR method. Since sequence-dependent allele-speific methylation is currently shown to be ubiquitous on human genome, it is expected to reveal a mechanism of disease susceptibility difference caused by polymorphisms.
We therefore study the sequence-dependent allele-speific methylation by whole genome bisulfite sequencing and computer analysis.
computational identification of useful knowledge from gene expression data
Microarray is a genetic engineering technology that is capable of quantifying the gene expression of 20,000-30,000 simultaneously. However, manual works have limitations when discovering valuable findings from such massive amount of data. In this context, we have been working on developing algorithms for discovering valuable findings from microarray data by utilizing a computer-based statistic analysis or a clustering method.
