backIntroduction
The National Institute of Genetics (NIG) was established in 1949 as the central institute to
study various aspects of genetics. It was reorganized in 1984 as an inter-university research
institute to promote collaborations with researchers at universities. Since 1988, NIG has been
participating in graduate education as the Department of Genetics of the Graduate University
for Advanced Studies (SOKENDAI). NIG also serves as a center for various genetic
resources such as mutant strains, clones and vectors, and houses DDBJ, the DNA Data
Bank of Japan, and a DNA sequencing center.
The history of NIG overlaps the period of a revolution in the field of life science. Genetics is
no longer a discipline to study the rules and mechanisms of heredity, but has become thebasis for all fields of life science. Molecular techniques now allow us not only to decipher theentire genome sequence of organisms including humans, but also to understand the detailsof higher biological phenomena: cell differentiation, morphogenesis, brain function, andevolution --- the history of life itself. Currently, 36 research groups are actively performing
pioneering and cutting-edge researches in these fields at NIG.
Recent generation of massive information on biological systems and their environment
calls for new directions in life sciences, such as bioinformatics, system-level analysis, andtheoretical approaches to extract knowledge from databases. To this end NIG and three othernational institutes, the National Institute of Informatics, The Institute of Statistical Mathematics
and the National Institute of Polar Research have formed a new organization, the Research
Organization of Information and Systems (ROIS) since April 2004, as a part of the reform ofnational universities and research institutes in Japan. Inter-institutional collaborations within
the new organization are in progress.
We welcome your comments and suggestions on our research activities and endeavors.

RESEARCH ACTIVITIESAn in vitro ubiquitination assay of mitotic cyclin
Hiroaki Seino
Cell cycle events are regulated by sequential activation and inactivation of Cdk kinases.
Mitotic exit is accomplished by the inactivation of mitotic Cdk kinase, which is mainly
achieved by degradation of cyclins by a ubiquitin-proteasome system.
Previously we reported that two ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes, UbcP1/Ubc4 and
UbcP4/Ubc11, were responsible for degradation of mitotic cyclin Cdc13 in fission yeast.
Each of these two ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes is essential for cell viability andresponsible for degradation of Cdc13. These results suggest that the functions of these two
ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes are not redundant and they have distinct functions for
ubiquitination of Cdc13. Furthermore, we found that ubiquitin chains of Cdc13 were totally
reduced in ubc11 mutant cells, whereas ubiquitin chains were short and not reduced in ubc4
mutant cells. Thus, we proposed a hypothesis that Ubc11 might be involved in initiation ofubiquitination, and Ubc4 might be involved in elongation of ubiquitin chains of Cdc13.
However, this hypothesis has not been elucidated yet.
To clarify the functional differences between Ubc4 and Ubc11 for degradation of Cdc13,
development of an in vitro assay system for ubiquitination for Cdc13 by using fission yeast
components is required. Currently, I am attempting to develop this assay system for Cdc13.
A ubiquitin-activating enzyme, these two ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes and substrate
Cdc13 were expressed as recombinant proteins in bacterial cells and purified. One
component of Cdc13-specific ubiquitin ligase anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome(APC/C) was tagged and expressed in fission yeast cells, and APC/C was purified fromfission yeast cells. Now I am examining the conditions for reconstitution of a ubiquitination
reaction of Cdc13.
Regulation of DNA damage checkpoint by ubiquitin proteasome system
Hiroaki Seino
Cells defective in ubc11+ gene exhibit pleiotoropic phenotypes. One of the phenotypes is
mitotic abnormality caused by stabilization and accumulation of mitotic cyclin Cdc13 andperhaps other mitotic regulators. Other phenotype is cell elongation that suggests delay inprogression of interphase. This elongation phenotype was not well characterized. Because
it seems that ubc11-deficient cells do not show the abnormality in DNA replication, G1 andS phase might be normal in ubc11-deficent cells. Thus, I focused on the relationshipbetween Ubc11 function(s) and DNA damage and/or DNA replication checkpoint. Cellelongation phenotype exhibited by ubc11-deficient cells requires DNA damage checkpoint
genes, rad3+, chk1+, crb2+ and rad9+ but does not require DNA replication checkpoint
gene cds1+. Furthermore, effecter kinase Chk1 was phosphorylated in the ubc11-deficient
cells. This suggests that DNA damage checkpoint is activated in ubc11-deficient cells. The
cells defective in ubc11+ gene do not show hypersensitivity to genotoxic reagents. Theseresults suggest that the ubiquitin pathway involving Ubc11 regulates DNA damage
checkpoint signaling pathway. Thus, Ubc11-pathway might function to recovery from cell
cycle arrest by DNA damage checkpoint and/or to repress arrest signal in normal cell cycle.
Furthermore, recently I found a candidate of the protein degraded by Ubc11-pathway that is
involved in regulation of DNA damage checkpoint.

RESEARCH ACTIVITIES(1) Establishment and maintenance of DNA methylation imprints in the germline
and early mouse embryos

Hiroyasu FURUUMI, Masahiro KANEDA1, Masaki OKANO2, En LI3, Mizue HISANO4,
Masami NOZAKI4, Tomohiro SUZUKI5, Shigeharu WAKANA5 and Toshihiko SHIROISHI5(1Gurdon Inst. Cancer Dev. Biol.; 2CDB, RIKEN; 3Novartis; 4OSAKA UNIV.; 5GSC, RIKEN)Genomic imprinting, an epigenetic gene-marking phenomenon in the germline, causes
parent-of-origin-specific monoallelic expression of a subset of mammalian genes in theoffspring. DNA methylation serves as an important gene marking mechanism to distinguishthe parental alleles of the imprinted genes. Evidence suggests that imprinted genes are
regulated by nearby differentially methylated regions (DMRs). We previously showed byconditional gene targeting that the de novo DNA methyltransferase gene Dnmt3a, but not
Dnmt3b, is essential for the establishment of the methylation imprints in both male andfemale germlines. We have now studied the methylation defects in the male germ cells fromvarious Dnmt mutants and found that Dnmt3L also plays a critical role in methylating the
DMRs. In the Dnmt3a, Dnmt3b and Dnmt3L mutant germ cells, various repeat sequences
including both interspersed and tandem types are also affected (submitted). Anotherquestion is how the methylation imprints are maintained in cleavage stage mouse embryos,in which the rest of the genome is extensively demethylated. We are therefore studying
cleavage stage embryos lacking either Dnmt1, Dnmt3a, Dnmt3b, or combinations of theseto see which methyltransferase(s) maintains the imprints. Lastly, we have also set out toscreen ENU-treated mutant mouse stocks for new mutants that have a defect inestablishment of the imprints.
(2) Search for the sequence features common to the imprinted DMRs
Hiroyuki SASAKI, Hisato KOBAYASHI, Chikako SUDA, Takashi ABE, Yuji KOHARA andToshimichi IKEMURA1 (1SOKENDAI)
Although the imprinted DMRs, which show differential methylation depending on parental
origin, play crucial roles in imprinting, features common to the DMRs have not been
identified. We therefore set out to look for the sequence features common to the DMRs by
computer-assisted programs. We first determined the extent of each mouse DMR bybisulphite sequencing in 12.5-day embryos. We found that most DMRs are more CpG-richthan most part of the genome but less CpG-rich than the CpG islands. Furthermore, thepaternally methylated DMRs contain less CpGs than the maternally methylated DMRs

(Kobayashi et al. 2006). These findings provide a basis for the further characterization of
DMRs.
(3) Identification and characterization of novel classes of small RNAs in the mouse
germline

Yayoi OBATA4 and Tomohiro KONO4 (1Kyoto Univ.; 2Osaka Univ.; 3RIKEN GSC; 4Tokyo
Univ. Agr.)
Small RNAs are involved in the regulation of gene expression through translational
repression, mRNA degradation, and chromatin modification. We speculated that small
RNAs expressed in germ cells might play a role in transposon silencing and possibly
genomic imprinting. As a first step, we have cloned and characterized the small RNAs in
adult mouse testis and full-grown oocytes. We identified siRNAs corresponding to various
retroelements in oocytes and gsRNAs/piRNAs mapping to various regions of the genome inclusters (Watanabe et al. 2006). These results suggest that small RNA pathways other thanthe miRNA pathway are also conserved in diverse animal species. We have now set out toclone and characterize small RNAs in fetal prospermatogonia and growing oocytes. We
also described the methods to clone and characterize small RNAs (Watanabe et al. inpress).
(4) Whole genome analysis of DNA methylation using microarrays
Hiroyuki SASAKI, Yusuke MIYANARI, Masayuki FUKASAWA1, Mika KIMURA1, Sumiyo
MORITA1 and Izuho HATADA1 (1Gumma Univ.)
DNA methylation is involved in gene silencing in normal tissues and in tumors. We havedevised two novel methods to profile promoter methylation in a genome-wide scale: theMIAMI method and the PMAD technique (Hatada et al. 2006; Fukasawa et al. 2006). The
application of these methods to tumors such as lung cancer demonstrated the usefulness ofthe methods. However, since both methods use methylation-sensitive enzyme and therefore
the number of promoters that can be analyzed are limited, we now use anti-5mC antibody
and methyl-CpG binding domain proteins to pull down methylated DNA. We will apply thesetools and technologies to crack the ﾒepigenomeﾓ of humans and mice.
(5) Tsix defective in splicing is competent to establish Xist silencing
Takashi SADO, Yuko HOKI and Hiroyuki SASAKI
Dosage differences of X-linked genes between male and female mammals arecompensated for by a mechanism known as X-inactivation, and the non-coding Xist geneplays a crucial role in this process. The expression of Xist is regulated in cis by its noncoding antisense gene, Tsix. In fact, recent studies demonstrated that Tsix modulates Xist
expression through modification of the chromatin structure. It is still unknown, however,whether the RNA product is important for the function of Tsix or whether the antisensetranscription is sufficient. To obtain insight into this issue, we eliminated the splicing
products of Tsix in the mouse and explored the effects of this elimination on Tsix-mediated
Xist silencing. To our surprise, the Xist locus was stably repressed on the X carrying the
splicing-defective Tsix allele. Moreover, the repressive chromatin configuration was properly
established at the Xist locus. These results indicate that the splicing products are
dispensable for Tsix-mediated Xist silencing (Sado et al. 2006).
(6) Tsix-mediated Xist silencing requires antisense transcription across the XistpromoterTakashi SADO, Tatsuya OHHATA, Yuko HOKI and Hiroyuki SASAKIWe recently demonstrated that Tsix silences Xist through modification of chromatin structurein the Xist promoter region. This finding prompted us to investigate the significance ofantisense transcription across the Xist promoter in Tsix-mediated silencing. We have now
demonstrated that the premature termination of Tsix before the Xist promoter abolishes theantisense regulation of Xist with a concomitant loss of repressive modifications, especiallyin the extraembryonic tissues. The results establish the fundamental role of the antisensetranscription across the Xist promoter in Xist silencing. Unexpectedly, the mutated X,
expressing nearly intact Xist RNA, is defective in undergoing inactivation. This new mutation
provides insight into how Xist becomes activated after a cessation of Tsix transcription on
the same chromosome (submitted).
(7) Role of the A-repeat in Xist during mouse development
Takashi SADO, Naomi KIMURA, Yuko HOKI, Yuko AMAKAWA and Hiroyuki SASAKIA
Previous study employing an inducible mutant Xist expression system in ES cells
suggested that a repeat element in Xist RNA, called A-repeat, is essential for the silencing
function of Xist. However, the mutant RNAs lacking A-repeat accumulated on the X
chromosome. In this project, we have introduced a new mutant Xist allele lacking A-repeat
into mice and examined the effects. Our results are consistent with the previous finding that
A-repeat has a critical role in X-inactivation. Unexpectedly, however, neither RNA-FISH nor
RT-PCR could detect the expression of Xist_A RNA even in the tissues where the mutated
X is programmed to undergo inactivation. The findings suggest that the A-repeat is involved
in either transcriptional upregulation of Xist or stabilization of Xist RNA.
(8) Role of Dnmt3L in gametogenesis
Kenichiro HATA, Maki KUSUMI, Takaaki YOKOMINE, Shinichi TOMIZAWA, En LI1 and
Hiroyuki SASAKI (1Novartis)
The Dnmt3L (Dnmt3-Like) gene encodes a protein of 421 amino acid residues and harbors
a putative zing finger domain that shares a high degree of homology with the PHD-likedomains of Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b. The C-terminal part of Dnmt3L is related to Dnmts, but it
does not possess critical motifs for methyltransferase activity. While Dnmt3L-/- mice grownormally, embryos from pregnant Dnmt3L-/- mothers die around E10.5, due to defects inmaternal imprints. By contrast, Dnmt3L-/- male mice showed azoospermia and theapoptotic germ cells have methylation defects in paternally imprinted DMRs and IAP
retrotransposon sequences (Hata et al. 2006). We speculate that Dnmt3L functions via
interactions with Dnmt3a to control de novo methylation of the DMRs and other sequences
including retrotransposons. We have now set out to isolate factors that interact with theDnmt3a/Dnmt3L complex by two-hybrid screen to know the detailed regulatory mechanismsof de novo methylation.
(9) Role of Dnmt3L in placentation
Kenichiro HATA, Takahiro ARIMA1, Maki KUSUMI2, Satoru TANAKA2, Takaaki
YOKOMINE, Norio WAKE1, Masaoki Tsudzuki3, En LI4 and Hiroyuki SASAKI (1Tohoku
Univ., 2Tokyo Univ., 3Hiroshima Univ., 4Novartis)
Although Dnmt3L protein lacks DNA methyltransferase activity, it cooperates with Dnmts toestablish methylation imprints. Oogenesis proceeds normally in Dnmt3L-/- female mice but
their heterozygous offspring (Dnmt3Lmat-/-) die before midgestation probably due to thelack of maternal imprints. The Dnmt3Lmat-/- embryos showed defective formation of thelabyrinth, reduced formation of the spongiotrophoblast layer, excess trophoblast giant cells
and insufficient attachment between the chorion layer and ectoplacental cone. Cells of theextraembryonic tissues were arrested but not apoptotic. Dnmt3Lmat-/- trophoblastic stem
cells showed a disturbed cell fate in vitro (Arima et al. 2006). Intriguingly, our comparative
studies showed that the Dnmt3L gene is present only in the species that have imprinting.
The acquisition of Dnmt3L by a common ancestor of eutherians and marsupials may beclosely related to the evolution of imprinting (Yokomine et al., 2006).

RESEARCH ACTIVITIESRESEARCH ACIVITIES(1) Mechanism of nucleosome assembly during DNA repkication

1 Department of Biochemistry, Miyazaki Medical Collega, University of Miyazaki

A newly repicated DNA is assembled into nucleosome soon after the passage of
replication fork. This rapid formation of nucleosome is functionally linked to DNA replication
machineries and plays a critical role for the maintenance of genome integrity in pvoliferating
cells. Two histone binding proteins CAF-1 (Chromatin Assembly Factor-1) and ASF1 (AntiSilencing Function 1), are involved in some process of this nucleosome assembly reaction.
In collaboration with Dr. Nakayama in University of Miyazaki, using CAF-1 and ASF-1deficine chicken DT4- celllines, we recently showed that without CAF-1 and/or ASF-1
function, S-phase progression was delayed and a rapid nucleosome assembly during DNA
replication was disturbed in vivo (Sanematsu, F., et al., J. Biol. Chem., in press, 2006). Thisis the first direct evidence for the involvement of CAF-1 and ASF1 in a rapid nucleosome
assembly during DNA replication in vivo. In addition, we obtained some interesting
evidence for that CAF-1 is involved in Chk1-dependent checkpoint pathway after thetreatment with HU (Takami, Y., et al., submitted).
(2) Physiological implications of CAF-1 and CAF-1-dependent nucleosome assembly inhigher eukaryotes

The Genetic approachof Arabidopsis is a powerful tool to see physiological implication of
CAF-1 and CAF-1 dependet nucleosome assembly in higher eukaryotes. We haveanalyzed loss-of-function mutants oa caf-1 (fasciata: fas) in Arabidopsis and have shownthat the fas mutants displayed severely disturbed cellular and functional organization of bothmeristems (Kaya et al., Cell, 2001; Takeda, et al., Genes Dev., 2004). We recently showedthat transcriptional gene silencing (TGS) of endogenous CACTA transposons was relased
infrequently in a stochastic manner in fas, without decreasing DNA methylation. Other
endogenous silent genes at different chromosomal site were also transcriptionally activatednon-concomitantly with each other. Furthermore, TGS of the silent transgene Betaglucuronidase (GUS) was also de-pressed randomly in fas mutant plants, irrespectively ofdevelopmental abnormalities, and the activated state of GUS was aintained during growth
to produce clusters of cells expressing GUS (Ono et al., Genes Cells, 2006). Taken
together, we strongly suggest that CAF-1 ensures stable ineritance of epigenetic states
through multiple rounds of cell divisions and that defects in CAF-1 functions explain in thestochastic occurrence of pleiotropic phenotypes in the fas mutants.
(3) Histone macroH2A-mediated formation of transcriptionally repressed states ofchromatin
Yuya Ogawa1, Hitoshi Nishijima, and Kei-ichi Shibahara
1Department of Genetics, Harvard Medical School, USA

The unusual hitone variant macroH2A (macroH2A) is predicted to be functionallyassociated with transcriptional repression as it appears to be enriched in the inactive X
chromosome by immunostaining. However, molocular function of macroH2A in mdulating
chromatin structure remains unknown. To reveal the roles of macroH2A, we purified
macroH2A-containing nucleosome by afinity purification with anti-epitope tag antidodies,and eventuaaly, we found mono-ubiquitinated form of macroH2A and determined theubiquitinated sites inmacroH2A (Ogawa, Y. et al., 2005). We are currently clarifying theunction of these modifications and trying to isolate the molecules enriched in and associatewith macroH2A-containing nucelosomes.
(4) Analysis of S. pombe RanGAP SpRna1 protein in the heterochromatin assembly via
histone H3

Takeharu Nishimoto1
1Department of Molecular Biology, Graduate School of Medical Scence, Kyushu University

We have isolated temperature-sensitive mutants of the RanGAP homologue, Sprna1, in S.
pombe. Spran1ts srains display a strong defect in mitotic chromosome segregation(Kusano, A., et al., Mol. Biol. Cell, 2004). This phenotype is suppressed bytheoverexpression of C1r4, which methylated Lys9 of histone H3 (H3K9). We found that
histone H3 controls the RanGAP activity of SpRnal to prevent disruption of the
RanGTP/GDP gradient and that SpRna1 enhances the activity of the C1r4-dependent
methylation of histone H3K9 (Nishijima, H., et al., Mol. Biol. Cell, 2006). In addition, we hadsiolated another suppressor, Snf2RS, which is likely to be a novel member of the SNF2
family inolved in the Ran GTPase cycle (Ohba, T., et al., in preparation).

There have been many reports on neurological disease involving tremor and ataxia. Several
familial studies have identified causative genes and mutations related to the disease.
However, most of the neurological diseases are so complex and multifactorial that affectedby multiple genes. Furthermore, some sporadic neurological diseases that showing low
heritability might be caused by aberrant epistatic interaction of multiple genes. Thus, it isimportant to analyze genetic basis of complex disease using an animal model. In thepresent study, we analyzed mice that exhibit neurological defect to elucidate an aberrant
genetic interaction which is called as genetic incompatibility.
In our laboratory, many mouse strains including wild-derived strains were crossed andanalyzed for behavioral traits to identify quantitative trait loci related to several kinds of
behaviors. In the course of these studies, we found aberrant mice indicating defective
growth, degenerative eye development, tremor (FURUE) and ataxia. The aberrant mice,
FURUE emerged in a F2 (KLF2) population made between two wild-derived mouse strains,
BLG2 and KJR. Because both BLG2 and KJR never indicate such neurological anddevelopmental defects, this aberration seemed to be caused by genetic incompatibility. We
analyzed the genotype of 160 FURUE mice in the KLF2 population using microsatellite
markers, and found that all the FURUE mice are homozygote of KJR allele at the small
region of chromosome 13. We analyzed the genotype of this locus in the whole KLF2
progeny including normal mice and FURUE, and found that a half of progeny which carryhomozygous KJR allele at this locus is lethal, one-forth of that is normal, and remaining oneforth exhibits FURUE phenotype. These results indicated that this locus is one of the factors
causing FURUE and lethality by genetic incompatibility. Thus, the locus on chromosome 13
was named as Genetic incompatibility 1 (Genic1). Furthermore, allelic frequency of two locion chromosome 3 and 4 did not obey the Mendelian's ratio and exhibited high ratio of
BLG2 homozygous allele. Thus, these two loci, Genic2 on chromosome 3 and Genic3 on
chromosome 4 (Genic2 L/L and Genic3 L/L), are expected as other genetic elements whichmight interact with the KJR allele of Genic1 (Genic1 K/K).
Many kinds of tremor and ataxic mice, such as shiverer and shaker are known to havedefect in myelin structure in central or peripheral nervous system (CNS and PNS). Electron
microscopic analysis indicated that adult FURUE mice also showed dismyelination in thewhite matter of spinal cord, corpus callosum and optic nerve. Adult FURUE mice showedthat the layers of myelin are reduced comparing to that of normal KLF2. Furthermore, somemyelinated axons are failed to compact cytoplasm of oligodendrocyte that form myelin
sheath in the CNS. These results suggested that FURUE is defective in myelination of axon
especially in interaction mechanism between myelin and axon, or in development ofoligodendrocyte.
We have established a Genic1 congenic strain carrying Genic1 K/L on the background of
BLG2. The Genic1 K/K congenic mice indicate similar phenotype as FURUE in KLF2. We
have narrowed down the Genic1 locus to 2.4 Mbp genomic region. Observation of Genic1
K/K congenic mice showed that onset of growth defect and lethality initiated between
embryonic 12.5 and 18.5 day. Furthermore, histological observations showed that neonatal
mice (P0) of Genic1 K/K congenic mice have cardiac abnormalities. One of the mice
showed that ectopic and excess heart septums, thus there are partially three cardiac
ventricules. Another Genic1 K/K congenic mice also showed some kind of septal defects.
These results imply that lethality in FURUE mice caused by such cardiac defects at lateembryonic stage.
There are approximately fifty genes in Genic1 in the database of NCBI build36.1, but nogenes related to the neural development or cardiac diseases have been reported.
Furthermore, there are several gaps in the region, probably because of difficulty ofassembling BAC sequence due to many duplicated sequences. Thus, this region needs tobe characterized by re-assembling BAC sequences in this region.

Forward genetics approach toward complex traits using consomic mouse strains
established from C57BL/6J and wild-derived MSM
Aki Takahashi, Akinori Nishi, Ayako Ishii, Toshihiko Shiroishi, & Tsuyoshi Koide
Individual differences in behavior are arising from quantitative genetic variations in addition
to environmental factors. We aimed to reveal those genetic mechanisms underlying
individual divergence of behavior by using consomic strains (CSSs) of mouse establishedfrom C57BL/6J and MSM. By examining a panel of CSSs on many behavioral traits, suchas spontaneous activity, anxiety-like behavior, pain sensitivity, and social behavior, we
systematically mapped the chromosomes that have a locus or loci affecting thosephenotypes.
To dissect complex traits into fine genetic element, we focused on one strain B6-17MSM,
which have substituted chromosome 17 from MSM. B6-17MSM showed reduced noveltyinduced activity and increased risk-assessment behavior, but no differences in their homecage activity or motor coordination compared to C57BL/6J. They also showed increased
fear memory in the fear conditioning test. Thus, it was expected that there are genetic
locus/loci related to emotionality on the chromosome 17. They also exhibited highly
increased social interaction behavior. In addition, we found that B6-17MSM had“hydrocephalus-like” enlarged brain ventricle size. To identify genetic loci related to thosephenotypes, we established a series of congenic mouse strains of B6-17MSM. Analysis ofcongenic strains successfully revealed two novel genetic loci for the brain ventricle size inthe proximal region of chromosome 17. In contrast, our result suggested that genetic
interaction between two or more loci is required to show increased social contact as B617MSM. There are multiple loci for the behaviors associated with novelty-induced activity
and two genetic loci for risk-assessment. We focused on one locus around telomericregion, which had as strong effect on the emotionality-related traits as B6-17MSM but
independent from hydrocephalus phenotype, and are trying to narrow this locus down to
identify the gene.
We are also interested in inter-male aggression. We found male of one consomic strain B615MSM, which have MSM chromosome 15, showed increased aggressive behavior in
resident-intruder test. Behavioral analysis showed that the increased aggression of B6-

15MSM was mainly caused by the effect of intruder. Several congenic strains of B6-15MSM
were established to identify the genetic locus/loci related to the aggressive behavior, andrevealed that there are several genetic loci that increased or decreased the aggressive
behavior on the chromosome 15.

RESEARCH ACTIVITIES(1) Gene targeting system with RNA interference (RNAi) in zebrafish
Minori Shinya, Kayo Kobayashi, Mika Tokumoto, Kimiko Saka, Aki Masuda and Noriyoshi
Sakai
Gene silencing via small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) has proved to be a useful tool instudying gene function in plants, invertebrates and mammalian systems. To date, genesilencing effects of siRNAs have confirmed in zebrafish, which is an emerging model fordevelopmental and diseases analysis. However, the effects were temporal (only in early
developmental stages) and sometimes mosaic in an embryo because of the method
injecting siRNAs into the one-cell stage of embryos. We recently succeeded in the
production of transgenic zebrafish from in vitro-cultured sperm. The advantage of thistechnique is that the mosaicism inherent in other conventional transgenic methods isavoided. Our aim in the present study is the establishment of a rapid system with cultured
sperm to generate transgenic zebrafish for gene silencing by siRNA.
As targeted genes, sonic hedgehog (shh) and green fluorescent protein (gfp) wereselected because of their clear silenced phenotypes. To determine the best sequence ofsiRNA for the specific suppression of each gene, we tested seven sequences of siRNA for
shh and one for gfp by injection of the siRNA into a one-cell stage embryo. Northern blot andreal-time PCR analyses for the siRNA-injected embryos revealed that two sequences forshh siRNA (sishh) and one for gfp siRNA (sigfp) suppressed each transcript. Embryos
injected with one of the sishh showed off-targeting effects by injection of higher dose, but
exhibited similar phenotypes with shh mutants in lower dose injection. The other sequenceof sishh did not affect the phenotype. The sigfp-injected embryos were also developed
normally. We are currently working on the construction of retroviruses that express, byzebrafish U6 promoter, a short hairpin RNA (shRNA) which is processed to generatesiRNA. By infecting this retroviral vector to in vitro cultured-male germ cells, we are going to
produce the transgenic zebrafish with foreign DNA encoding shRNA.
(2) Analysis of factors of Sertoli cells to support male germ cell development
Yuichi Ozaki, Aki Masuda and Noriyoshi Sakai
Sertoli cells are important to germ cells in everything from male sex-determination tospermatogenesis. In spermatogenesis, Sertoli cells interact directly with germ cells in thetestis to induce the complex process required for the production of functional sperm. Thesecells mediate the production of many molecules as well as cell junctions and adhesion. The
function of many of these molecules and the regulation of gene expression remain unclear.
We recently established two testicular cell lines of zebrafish with distinct functions to supportthe development of male germ cells. The lines, ZtA6-2 and ZtA6-12, showed almost thesame characteristics as Sertoli cells, but exhibited distinctive features when male germ
cells were co-cultured with each line as feeders: the function of the ZtA6-2 cells was
directed to stimulate the proliferation of spermatogonia, and ZtA6-12 to stimulate thedifferentiation into sperm.
These cell lines facilitate investigation of Sertoli cell molecules that contribute to theproliferation and differentiation of spermatogonia. To investigate specific factors of Sertoli
cells, we performed the microarray analysis between ZtA6-2 cells and ZtA6-12 cells, anddeveloped a protocol for frozen sections of a zebrafish testis. The section kept the testicular
structure enough to determine each developmental stage of germ cells and showed finepositive signals both in in situ hybridization and in immunohistochemistry. In a zebrafish
testis, Sertoli cells constitute a cyst structure in which single A-type spermatogonium
develops and differentiates synchronously. This characteristic makes it easy to determine
the stages of Sertoli cells corresponding to the stages of germ cells. We are now producing
stage-specific markers of antibodies for germ cells, and will screen cDNAs that were foundin the microarray analysis.
(3) Culture condition for zebrafish spermatogonial stem cells
Kenji Saito and Noriyoshi Sakai
In zebrafish, a culture system using primary cultures of male germ cells on a Sertoli cell line,
in which the differentiation from spermatogonia to functional sperms can occur in vitro,
allows us to generate transgenic zebrafish lines rapidly through a simple in vitro fertilization
using transfected sperm. However, the proliferation of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs)
was not observed under the culture conditions. Our aim of this study is to identify themorphogenic characteristics of SSCs in zebrafish testis, and a culture condition to
proliferate SSCs with newly isolated Sertoli cell line as feeder cells.
When zebrafish were treated with busulfan, we observed decline in the amount ofdifferentiated types cells, such as spermatocytes and spermatids, and increase of A typespermatogonia. After once germ cells in the testis became only A type spermatogonia andsperm, type B spermatogonia appeared. The testis recovered spermatogenesis after 1
month and the fish became fertile. When we used enzymatically dissociated cells of testes
that have only A type spermatogonia and sperm, the germ cells proliferated on newly
isolated Sertoli cell line, ZtA6-6. Morphology of the germ cells resembles to the A typespermatogonia of paraffin section, and did not change during the culture. Furthermore, thecells expressed a germ cell marker gene vas, and asynchronous proliferations of the germ
cells were observed by BrdU incorporation experiments. These results indicate that someor all of A type spermatogonia have the property of stem cells. Identification of SSCs isunder investigation in combination with busulfan treatment and BrdU incorporation. We arealso analyzing the effect of several growth factors to stimulate proliferation of SSCs toward
better culture conditions.
(4) Analysis of the ability of cultured embryonic cells derived from different
developmental stages to induce the anterior-posterior axis.
Megumi Hashiguchi, Minori Shinya and Noriyoshi Sakai
Formation of the dorsal organizer is an important process in antero-posterior (A-P) anddorso-ventral (D-V) patterning of the vertebrate embryo. In zebrafish, it is known that two
molecular cascades, signaling through bozozok/dharma (boz) and squint (sqt), act inparallel to induce the organizer. We analyzed the ability of zebrafish cell lines, which were
derived from embryos and larvae at various developmental stages, to induce the organizer
when they implanted into mid-blastula; a cell lines derived from the earlier stage induced acomplete secondary axis while a cell lines from the later stage induced only posterior
structures. The expression of organizer marker genes was induced ectopically around
implanted cultured cells. The notochord was derived from host cells in implanted embryos,
and no secondary axis was induced when cultured cells were implanted into early gastrula.
These data suggest that secondary axis axes induced by cell lines result from organizerinduction.
Interestingly, ectopic expression of boz was not found around cultured cells. Furthermore,
the cell lines induced secondary axes even in Maternal-Zygotic one-eyed pinhead mutantsin which Sqt signaling was disturbed, without rescuing their phonotypes. These findings
indicate that the dorsal organizer is induced by these embryo-derived cultured cell lines withneither the upstream activation of boz upstream nor the activation of the Sqt signaling
pathway.

RESEARCH ACTIVITIES(1) A defect in positioning of bacterial nucleoid
Kumiko Higuchi, Yoshiharu Yamaichi (Tufts Univ. USA) and Hironori Niki
We have found a centromere-like element (migS) on the Escherichia coli genome. We
searched gene products that genetically interact with migS. Transposon (Tn) insertion
mutations of phoU showed a growth defect under migS deletion mutation. It was reported
that PhoU functions in phosphate uptake and intercellular phosphate metabolism, althoughseveral group claimed those were not its primary functions. The phoU Tn insertion mutant(phoU::Tn) lacked a few amino acid residues from the carboxyl terminal of phoU gene, andthe null mutant did not show the synthetic lethal phenotype with migS mutant. phoU::Tn cells
showed mislocated nucleoid from centre of the cells, while in wild type cells have thenucleoid at central region of the cell. Daughter nucleoids were not clearly separated at cell
division in the mutant. In fact, frequency of DNA-less cells increased in the phoU mutant.
This phenotype was exaggerated in slmA deficient cells where septum inhibition
mechanism over unseparated nucleoids was absent. InΔslmA, phoU::Tn double mutant
cells, frequency of anucleate cells were increased compared to the wild type cells andguillotine typed cells were appeared. We concluded that the truncated PhoU protein
perturbed correct positioning of daughter nucleoids and this could lead mitotic catastroph.
(1) Screening of mutants that are defect in chromosome segregation or cell division
Masako Sakai, Hironori Niki
We are screening null mutants that are defective in chromosome segregation or cell
division. The E. coli genome has been completely sequenced, and about 4,400 open
reading frames (ORFs) are estimated on the genome, determined by a statistical method of
ORF prediction. A collection of systematic null mutants of the ORFs, KEIO collection, hasbeen constructed by Dr. Mori’s group and maintained in the Microbial genetics laboratory
and this provides a very useful screening tool. We went through and have taken images ofabout 2,000 mutant cells by using DNA specific staining and found a new mutants that
produce DNA-less cells or elongated cells. We will construct a database including
photographic images of the morphology and it will be open for public.
(3) Fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces japonicus as a novel genetic system inchromosome biology
Kanji Furuya, Hironori Niki

Yeasts are powerful genetic tool to identify new elements or new phenotypes in a wide
range of biology. However, due to its small cell size, there is a limitation in detailed cellbiological analysis. Schizosaccharomyces japonicus is an alternative fission yeast.
Although this haploid organism is poorly developed as a genetic tool, its nearly twice large
nuclear size and more fibrously condensed mitotic chromosomes compare to the otheryeasts can be more suitable model system to understand mechanism of chromosome
organization in vivo, such as mitotic chromosome segregation or interphase chromosome
compartment. Our final aim is to discover new gene functions which regulate chromosome
cycle through the isolation of mutants with novel cytological phenotypes. We have so far
isolated 1100 high temperature and 40 cold temperature sensitive mutants. We have juststarted examining each mutant. Taking advantage of our well-equipped microscopes andour long experience in cytological study in smaller organism (E.coli), we are hoping to havea collection of mutants with abnormal chromosome shape or nuclear structure. In pararell,
thanks to full-genome sequence information provided by the Broad Institute, we have beenable to clone all six SMC (Structural Maintenance of Chromosome) genes which functions inchromosome condensation, chromatid cohesion and DNA replication. The cloned gene will
be used to obtain antibodies to visualize those key elements in chromosome dynamics andwill be useful to understand molecular basis of the chromosome behavior in this yeast. We
have been setting up tools and methods as well. We have generated heterothallic haploid toease crossing different alleles. We have been trying to modify key genes to create genetic
markers. We have already cloned ura4 and ade6 to create equivalent point mutation to usesame genetic tool such as plasmids or minichromosome of closely related fission yeast, S.
pombe.

Search for the evolutionary origin of protozoan lens-eye(Hayakawa S, Hwang JS, Takaku Y, Nagai S, Horiguchi T, Suga H, Ikeo K, Gehring W and
Gojobori T)
The dinoflagellates (division Pyrrhophyta, class Dinophyceae) are a group of unicellular
phytoplankton in marine and fresh waters, which are composed of more than 2,000 species.
One of families in dinoflagellates, Warnowiaceae, consists of three heterotrophic genera,
Warnowia, Erythropsidinium and Nematodinium, which are identified by distinct structureso-called “ocelloid”. “Ocelloid” is one type of various eye-spot organelle seen in
dinoflagellate, but characterized with the lens-like structure which exists only in this family.
With the aim of examining if this protozoan lens-eye is actually the evolutionary origin ofhuman camera-eyes, we attempted to identify the genes that may be involved with theformation and function of the ocelloid. In practice, we collected samples of the species forthe three genera of Warnowiaceae, which were carefully identified by morphological traits.
Isolating DNAs from those samples, we first confirmed species identification by
constructing molecular phylogenetic tree of SSU rDNAs and mitochondrial genes. Then, weconstructed cDNA libraries and sequenced cDNA clones. When we made the annotation on
those clone sequences, we found that there were homologues for photoreceptor-related
genes such as rhodopsin and plastid-targeting proteins. More interestingly, we also found anumber of gene homologues that can be apparently related to morphogenesis of theocelloid and retinal body. From these reasons, we think it reasonable to conclude that atleast some genes in protozoan ocelloid shared the common ancestry with mammaliancamera-eyes. The coming issue will be to know by which mechanisms this can be brought,
straightforward evolution or horizontal gene transfer. This will be discussed in this report.
A NOVEL PROTEIN FOR THE SENSORY APPARATUS OF HYDRA NEMATOCYTE(Hwang JS, Takaku Y, Chapman J, Ikeo K, David CN and Gojobori T)
All Hydra nematocytes possess the cnidocil apparatus. The cnidocil apparatus is a sensory
receptor protruded from the apical surface of Hydra nematocyte, a stinging cell used forprey capture. Ultrastructural studies of the cnidocil apparatus have clearly shown that thecnidocil apparatus is a microtubule-containing cilium (‘9+0’ pattern) surrounded by 7 ~ 12actin filaments called stereocilia at the distal region, and a shorter inner row of microvillar
rods. This structure is comparable with the sensory cilia of vertebrate hair cell. Except
microtubule and actin-filled stereocilia, no genetic details of other parts of cnidocil
apparatus have been known so far. A cnidarian-specific protein, which we named as
nematocilin, is identified from Hydra. Nematocilin contains coiled-coil heptad repeats and is
a new member of intermediate filament family. Immunofluorescence showed that expressionof nematocilin in the cytoplasm was initiated at the late differentiation of nematocyte andlater the protein was deposited in the modified cilium of cnidocil apparatus. Immunogold

electron microscopy also confirmed that nematocilin constitutes the electron-dense filament
at the core of cilium and is surrounded by doublets and single microtubules. The existenceof nematocilin-filled filament in the cilium provides the stiffness to the structure during thedischarge of nematocyte. However, not all cnidarians possess the nematocilin in thecnidocil apparatus, the class Anthozoa and some hydrozoans lack nematocilin-filledfilaments and only microtubules are present in the modified cilium. Searching the genome of
Nematostella vectensis (Anthozoa) failed to find the orthologous gene of nematocilin.
Therefore, nematocilin could have emerged in Cnidaria after the divergence of Anthozoa
and evolved with specialized properties for supporting the discharge of nematocyte.
Search for the evolutionary origin of neural tube: Gene expression analysis of ciliary band in
sea urchin embryo (Kinjo S, Ikeo K and Gojobori T)
In the nervous system, vertebrates have neural tube whereas invertebrates do not. Because
the neural tube produces spinal cord and brain in vertebrates during the development, we
examined if invertebrates have an ancestral organ of neural tube, in order to understand theevolutionary origin of neural tube. Sequencing about 5,000 ESTs in the cDNA library of theciliary band tissues of sea urchin larva in which some of structural descriptions are common
to neural tube of vertebrates, we examined whether the gene expression profile of the ciliaryband is similar to that of neural tube. As a result of homology search, we found that most of
the ESTs were from mitochondrial or cytoskeletal genes, and that there were few ESTs
related to nervous system. This result seems indicate that ciliary band is not a central
nervous system but a sort of peripheral nerves where the ciliary and the nerve cells coexist.
Therefore ciliary band would not be the ancestral organ of neural tube from the viewpoint ofgene expression profile at least.
Compensatory change of interacting amino acids in the coevolution of transcriptional
coactivator MBF1 and TATA-box-binding protein.
(Liu Q-X, Nakashima-Kamimura N, Ikeo K, Hirose S and Gojobori T)
To elucidate the transcriptional regulation in eukaryotic genome network, it is important tounderstand coevolution of transcription factors, transcriptional coactivators, and TATA-boxbinding protein (TBP). In this study, coevolution of transcriptional coactivator multiproteinbridging factor 1 and its interacting target TBP was first evaluated experimentally byexamining if compensatory amino acid changes took place at interacting sites of bothproteins. The experiments were conducted by identifying interaction sites and comparing
the amino acids at these sites among different organisms. Here, we provide evidence forcompensatory changes of transcription coactivator and its interacting target, presenting the
1st report that transcription coactivator may have undergone coevolution with TBP. This
study was published in Molecular Biology and Evolution. (2007) Vol. 24: 1458-1463.
Functional analysis of Drosophila TDF during the eye development(Liu Q-X, Ikeo K, Hiromi Y, Hirose S and Gojobori T)
In Drosophila, the tracheas defective (tdf) gene encodes a bZIP protein that required for thedevelopment of trachea, heart, head and neural system. TDF is highly expressed in the cellsof the morphogenetic furrow (MF) region. Loss of TDF function causes defects in the eye
development. Overexpression of TDF in the eye disc induced abnormal eyes. The targets of
tdf responsible for these responses have not been identified. To identify tdf downstream
genes in a comprehensive manner, we used genome-wide oligonucleotide arrays andanalyzed differential gene expression in wild-type embryos versus tdf mutant embryos. Uponknockout of tdf function, expression of 340 genes decreased and 338 genes increased.
Many of these genes can be assigned to specific aspects of the tracheal and neural systemdevelopment. We also discovered tdf target genes that are likely to play specific roles in
eye morphogenesis. This study was won the best paper award in the 79th annual meeting of
the genetics society of Japan.
Midline governs axon pathfinding by coordinating expression of two major guidancesystems(Liu Q-X, Hiramoto M, Ueda H, Gojobori T, Hiromi Y and Hirose S)

Formation of the neural network requires concerted action of multiple axon guidancesystems. How neurons orchestrate the expression of multiple guidance genes is poorly
understood. Here we show that Drosophila T-box protein Midline controls expression ofmultiple axon guidance molecules: Frazzled, ROBO, and Slit. In midline mutant expressionof all these molecules are reduced, resulting in severe axon guidance defects, whereas
misexpression of Midline induces their expression. Midline is present on the promoter
regions of these genes, indicating that Midline controls transcription directly. We proposethat Midline coordinates the expression of two guidance systems with opposing outputs foraxon pathfinding.
The Evolutionary Origin of the Layered Structure of the Mammalian Neocortex(Suzuki I, Hirata T and Gojobori T)
The mammalian brain is known to have some unique features, one of which is the 6-layered
structure of the neocortex and the columnar unit of the neural circuit through such layers. The
evolutionary origin of the neocortical lamination have not been enough studied so far,although the functional and developmental aspects of the research has been actively done.
With the aim of elucidating the evolutionary origin, we studied a chick brain from theviewpoint of comparative developmental biology. Then, we found the following three points.
1) We discovered that the chick dorsal telencephalon possesses the similar neuronalvariety in the mammalian neocortex, according to the expression patterns of gene markers.
2) We also found that the chick shares with mammals the temporal order of thedifferentiation of neurons. 3) Our fate-mapping experiment demonstrated that the generationsite of a particular type of neuron is distinct from that of another type of neuron in the chickdorsal telencephalon, however the stem cell in all the area of the mammalian neocortex can
generate all types of cortical neurons. Thus, we concluded that the distinct neurogenetic
pattern makes the difference of neuronal organization between the mammalian layered
neocortex and the chick non-layered telencephalon.
Inferring natural selection operating on conservative and radical substitution at single aminoacid sites (Suzuki Y)
Natural selection operating on amino acid substitution at single amino acid sites can bedetected by comparing the rates of synonymous (rS) and nonsynonymous (rN) nucleotide
substitution at single codon sites. Amino acid substitutions can be classified asconservative or radical according to whether they retain the properties of the substituted
amino acid. Here methods for comparing the rates of conservative (rC) and radical (rR)nonsynonymous substitution with rS at single codon sites were developed to detect natural
selection operating on these substitutions at single amino acid sites. A method forcomparing rC and rR at single codon sites was also developed to detect biases toward
these substitutions at single amino acid sites. Charge was used as the property of theamino acids. In a computer simulation, false-positive rates of these methods were always <5%, unless termination sites were included in the computation of the numbers of sites andestimates of transition/transversion rate ratio were highly biased. The frequency of detectionof natural selection operating on conservative substitution was almost independent of thepresence of natural selection operating on radical substitution, and vice versa. Natural
selection operating specifically on conservative and radical substitution was detected more
efficiently by comparing rS with rC and rS with rR than by comparing rS with rN. Thesemethods also appeared to be robust against the occurrence of recombination during
evolution. In an analysis of class I human leukocyte antigen, negative selection operating onconservative substitution, but not positive selection operating on radical substitution, wasobserved at some of the codon sites with rR > rC, suggesting that rR > rC may notnecessarily be an indicator of positive selection operating on radical substitution.
Multiple transmissions of tick-borne encephalitis virus between Japan and Russia (Suzuki
Y)Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a zoonotic disease causing meningitis, encephalitis, andmeningoencephalitis. Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is the etiological agent of TBE.
From an analysis of five distinct sequences of Japanese TBEV, it has been proposed that

Japanese TBEV was transmitted from Russia to Japan on just a single occasion 260-430
years ago. Here, to better understand the origin and evolution of Japanese TBEV, thirteen
distinct nucleotide sequences encoding the entire region of the envelope protein forJapanese TBEV were analyzed. It is shown, from the phylogenetic analysis, that Japanese
TBEV belongs to the Far Eastern subtype, which is known to be highly pathogenic.
Japanese TBEV was divided into three groups, and TBEV was inferred to have beentransmitted between Japan and Russia at least three times, possibly through migratory
birds, with five possible scenarios. TBEV was inferred to have been endemic to Japan forseveral hundred years. These results indicate that vaccines against TBEV should belicensed in Japan.
Search for the evolution of gap junction(Takaku Y, Hwang JS, Hayakawa S, Wolf A, Svensson L, David CN, Ikeo K and Gojobori T)
Cnidarians represents the first animal phylum, in evolution, that possesses a simple nervous
system as well as active behaviors. In Hydra, a member of phylum Cnidaria, the typical gap
junction has been revealed by EM, and more than a dozen of innexin genes had been found.
With the aim of elucidating functional importance of gap junction in nervous system during
evolution, we conducted the following experiments: (1) Using heptanol as a gap junction
inhibitor, we compared movements of intact Hydra (a standard wild-type strain 105 of Hydra
magnipapillata) with those of epithelial Hydra that were completely devoid of nerve cells.
Then, we found that in the presence of heptanol, though quick contractile movements ofbody column were completely prevented in both normal Hydra and epithelial Hydra, only apart of the feeding behavior by their tentacles remained in normal Hydra. It was thought that
only chemical synapses in nervous system contribute to these movements, suggesting thatgap junction is important for the feeding behavior by tentacles. (2) We also performed in situ
hybridization to localize expression to specific innexin of nervous system in Hydra. The
different expression patterns of the different innexins indicate that they could have different
functions or regulators - regulators that interact with the varying c-terminals. From the resultsof those experiments, we concluded that without gap junctions, sophisticated andcoordinated modulations in nervous system would not have been evolutionarily attainable.

RESEARCH ACTIVITIESA Theoretical Model of GeneExpressionEvolution
Ogasawara O, Okubo K
With the advent of genome wide gene expression profiling techniques, an increasing
number of studies have been published reporting comparisons of gene expression profiles
within or among species in order to identify general pattern of the heritable variations ingene expression profiles, and to estimate the relative impact of the evolutionary forces
acting on gene expression evolution.
However the reported patterns were not necessarily consistent with each other. In some
report there was an at least modest correlation between the expression divergence within
and among species, whereas in another reported there was only poor correlation between
them.
Estimated proportion of genes being subject to the stabilizing selection ranged from 7% to99%. Although there were a number of reason for this discrepancy, we found that the one
obvious reason was the lack of a commonly accepted statistical procedures forcomparative analysis of gene expression profiles. Especially, there was no well-establishedtheoretical model which could be used as a null hypothesis of statistical test.
By using a theoretical model of gene expression evolution we proposed previously for
explaining the genesis of a general pattern of the mRNA abundance distribution called the
Zipf's law of transcriptome, we examined the causes of the observed discrepancies.
Consequently, we found that in some studies the proportion of genes being subject to thestabilizing selection might be heavily overestimated, and we concluded that for majority ofgenes evolutionary changes in mRNA abundance would be selectively neutral.
In quest of a new post-genomic view in the evolution and expression of proteinsencoded in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Luis Fernando Encinas Ponce
Why do proteins evolve at different rates?
How to explain the links between expression level and rate of evolution?
Judging by the diversity of high-throughput data available, it is not longer tenable tosuppose that protein evolution is affected only by selection acting at one level. There is aneed for a new “post-genomic view” in which protein evolution should be approached from aholistic perspective.
In that direction and in trying to make the most of the emerging field of evolutionary systems

biology, we are aimed to develop integrative analyses of different functional and structural
factors that showed to have a particular influence not only on the evolutionary rate but also
on the level a gene expresses. Our initial results demonstrated that rather than taking mRNAlevels as overall constraints of sequence evolution, other expression-related variables suchas translational efficiency should be considered.
Making extensive use of statistical methods we could quantify the importance of many
gene/protein characteristics and found that, in general, structural variables are more
important than those we have classified as functional. While these results contradict thefindings of previous reports that stressed the influence of variables such as dispensability
and essentiality, they allow us to extend our discussion to some hypotheses proposed to
explain the underlying associations between expression level and rate of evolution.
Finally, a theoretical framework that represents all possible biological interactions among
variables was devised and constitutes the basis of a modeling process that not only helps
us to reveal the complexity of associations existing between variables, but also shows how,at least in theory, we can predict the behavior of some of them using information fromothers.

RESEARCH ACTIVITIESGenetic and Epigenetic control of neural network
Kazuo Emoto
Little is know about how neurons establish and maintain their unique dendritic fields indevelopment. Drosophila dendrite arborization (da) sensory neurons can be classified into
4 subtypes (I-IV) based on their dendritic morphology, and the dendritic field of class IV daneurons is shaped in part through a like-repels-like tiling behavior of dendrite terminals. We
have previously identified the protein kinase Tricornered (Trc) as an essential regulator of
dendritic tiling and branching in class IV da neurons (Emoto et al., Cell 119 245, 2004). In
this year, we have obtained compelling evidence that the tumor suppressor gene hippo(hpo), which encodes a Ste-20 like kinase, functions together with trc to ensure dendritic
tiling. In larvae transheterozygous for null mutations of trc and hpo, tiling is defective in class
IV neurons, demonstrating that trc and hpo interact in vivo. Hpo physically associates with
Trc in neurons and can phosphorylate Trc in vitro, consistent with a model in which Hpo
regulates Trc activity. In addition to this novel interaction with Trc, we have found that Hpomediated regulation of dendrite morphogenesis also requires the function of the Warts/Lats(Wts) kinase, which is known to function with Hpo to promote cell cycle arrest and apoptosis
and to share a homologous kinase domain and conserved phosphorylation sites with Trc.
However, unlike trc, wts mutations cause a progressive reduction in the number and lengthof class IV dendritic branches, similar to the phenotype observed in hpo mutant clones.
Taken together, we propose that Hpo kinase regulates multiple aspects of dendrite
development in maturing class IV da neurons through distinct downstream signaling
pathways: the Trc kinase pathway for dendrite branching and tiling and the Wts kinase
pathway for dendrite maintenance.
