学位論文審査結果の要旨

昆虫の成長、脱皮、変態は-種類のステロイドホルモン、20-ヒドロキシエクジソン(20E)により調節 されている。これまで20Eの初期作用はheterodimerの核受容体(ECR/USP)と結合し、遺伝子の転写調 節にあるとされてきた。しかし、エルモギ君の所属する研究室ではこれまで20Eによる前部絹糸腺の予定 細胞死において、核受容体を介した作用の他、恐らく膜受容体を介した作用経路もあることが示唆されてき た。エルモギ君は前部絹糸腺膜を材料として膜受容体の存在を証明することから研究を始めた。この分野は 未知領域であり、まず膜受容体のホルモン結合活性を測定する系を確立し、それにより結合部位の生化学 的特性を明らかにした。その結果、解離乗数は10,MオーダーでECR/USPよりも優位に低いものの、体内 20E濃度で十分活性化されうる解離常数を示した。たまエクジソンアゴニストとの結合はECR/USPに対す るよりも2桁弱かった事から、20Eの膜受容体の存在を補強するものであった。また、膜受容体のモノクロー ナル抗体の作成に成功し、これを用いて絹糸腺以外の組織で多量に入手できる脂肪体にも恐らく同一の膜受 容体があることを示し、膜受容体の精製の道も開いた。本学位論文は、同一細胞が膜受容体と核受容体の双 方を有し、これらを介して単一の細胞応答を調節するというステロイド作用機序の理解の基礎を与えるもの であり、学位授与に十分な業績といえる。
