基礎生物学研究所コンファレンス

NIBB CONFERENCE


 当該研究分野の現状分析や研究計画を討議する国際研究集会を,基礎生物学研究所コンファレンスと称して,それぞれの特定研究について毎年開催している。

 

THE 47th NIBB CONFERENCE


 生物は多くの局面においてタンパク質のリン酸化を介する情報伝達を手段として、制御されていることが判っている。このシンポジウムではセリン/スレオニンホスファターゼ、チロシンホスファターゼ及びリピッドホスファターゼの3種の脱リン酸化酵素が、疾病、神経機能、癌、血管、血球系、免疫系、細胞増殖、細胞周期、各種細胞ストレスの各系にどのようい関わるかについて、国内外の一線の研究者が最新のデータを集約、発表して討論を行った。特に、今回のシンポジウムでは、ホスファターゼの結晶解析の結果を踏まえたインヒビターの開発、ペプチドのアレイを用いた特異的拮抗薬の開発、あるいはホスファターゼの基質分子の新しい探索法の紹介等、方法論、開発の面からの進歩も、そのトピックスに含まれており、多くの成果が総括的に示され、参加者から高く評価された。この数年の間に、特にホスファターゼの関わる多くの疾病が明らかになり、その具体的治療法の開発が視野に入ってきた現状が明らかとなった。
