カイコはなぜクワを食うか : ゲノムからのヒント

嶋田透

蚕糸・昆虫バイオテック = Sanshi-konchu biotec, 78(2) 103-107, Dec 1, 2009

カイコのゲノムは、2004年に日本と中国のグループにより独立にドラフト配列が発表された後、その両国間で共同研究が進められ、2008年に精密なゲノム情報が公表された。カイコには、より高度な機構に依存し、かつカイコだけに特徴的にみられる現象、たとえば卵での越冬休眠やクワへの寄主特異性などがある。これらが、はたしてカイコだけが持つ遺伝子によって支配されているのか、あるいは他の昆虫と共有する遺伝子のマイナーチェンジによって実現しているのか、読者にとって興味のあるところであろう。本稿では、カイコのゲノムの特異性と、生物としてのカイコの特性の一つであるクワへの依存性を関連づける研究について紹介することにする。未開拓、未解明の研究領域であり、以下に述べる内容には筆者の推察が含まれていることを予めお断りしたい。

カイコの遺伝学は、外山亀太郎博士によってメンデルの法則の成立が動物で初めて確かめられてから、すでに100年を超える歴史を作ってきた。この間に数百の突然変異が発見され、それらは連関関係および組換え価に基づいて28の連関群に配置されている。一方で、Watson and CrickによるDNAの二重らせん構造の発見以降の分子生物学の興隆期には、真核生物の遺伝子のクローニングとしては最も早い成功例の一つである、鈴木義昭博士らによるフィブロイン遺伝子の単離をはじめ、富野士良博士らによる体液タンパク質遺伝子に関する研究や山下興亜博士らによる休眠ホルモン遺伝子の単離など、日本人がカイコを用いて世界の分子遺伝学をリードする成果を挙げてきた。

カイコ生殖巣に存在する small RNA の特性と機能

河岡慎平, 嶋田透, 勝間進

蚕糸・昆虫バイオテック = Sanshi-konchu biotec, 77(3) 219-225, Dec 1, 2008

カイコ生殖巣に存在するsmall RNAの特性と機能。多くの生物のゲノム解読が完了した昨今、「ゲノム上に存在するタンパク質非コード領域が持つ機能」は、ますます興味深い問題のひとつである。カイコゲノムのほぼ80％、ヒトゲノムでは実に98％が、反復配列をはじめとするタンパク質非コード領域であると認識されている。長い間、これらの領域は「ジャンクDNA」などと呼ばれ、生物にとって不要なものであると見なされてきた。しかしながら、最近になって、これら非コード領域が活発に転写され、転写された非コードRNAが重要な生物機能を有する、ということが分かってきた。我々が最もよく知っている重要な非コードRNAとしては、tRNAやrRNAが挙げられるが、大きな注目が集まっているのは、長さが21-30塩基程度の小さなRNA、small RNAの機能である。ここでは、動物のsmall RNAの基本的な機能に関して概説するとともに、筆者らが最近得た、カイコにおけるsmall RNA研究についての結果を紹介する。
