Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Early-Career Scientists, Analysis of mitochondrial sheath formation mechanism using KO mice, 202004, 202303, 嶋田 圭祐, 本研究ではSmdr3及びSmdr5遺伝子を欠損させたKOマウスの表現型を解析し,これら遺伝子がどのようにミトコンドリア鞘形成に関与しているのかを明らかにすることを目的としている。 SMDR3に対する抗体を作成し,免疫電子顕微鏡観察をしたところ,SMDR3は予想に反してミトコンドリアとは独立した2種類のnuageに局在していることが明らかになった。このnuageはpiRNAが局在するIntermitochondrial cementとは異なるnuageであり,これまでにその機能については全く解析されてこなかったものであった。本研究によりSMDR3に由来するnuageが精子ミトコンドリアの整列に関連することが明らかになった。SMDR3を培養細胞に過剰発現させると,SMDR3は単独で細胞質内にdropletを形成することから,SMDR3は細胞内に液-液相分離を引き起こすことで機能していることも明らかになった。
Smdr5 KOマウスは精子形成過程で精子ミトコンドリアの内部構造に異常を呈し,ミトコンドリア鞘形成がうまくいかないことで雄性不妊となる。今回Smdr5を生殖細胞のみで発現するトランスジェニック(Tg)マウスを作成し、Smdr5 KOマウスに導入すると、雄性不妊がレスキューできることが明らかになった。さらにユビキタスに発現するSmdr5のファミリー遺伝子についても、生殖細胞のみで発現するTgマウスを作成し、Smdr5 KOマウスに導入しても雄性不妊はレスキューできたため,SMDR5の機能はそのファミリータンパク質と同様の働きを有していることが考えられた。したがって,これら2つのタンパク質は発現場所のみ違いがあるものの,機能は同じタンパク質であることが示唆された。
Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Young Scientists (B), Revealing the mechanism of mitochondrial localization in the sperm midpiece, 201704, 202003, Keisuke Shimada, We discovered that absence of Sperm mitochondria related gene 1(SMDR1) disrupts mitochondrial sheath formation, resulting in reduced sperm motility and male sterility. In vitro analysis demonstrates that SMDR1 induces mitochondrial clustering, revealing that SMDR1 functions as an adherence factor between mitochondria. In mouse testicular germ cells, SMDR1 localizes to the mitochondrial surface and directly interacts with mitochondrial outer membrane proteins VDAC2 and VDAC3 as well as SMDR2. These findings suggest that SMDR1 binds to VDAC proteins to tether adjacent mitochondria, and this tethering allows mitochondria to properly elongate and coil around the sperm flagellum. Thus, our studies demonstrate for the first time that SMDR1 regulates sperm mitochondrial dynamics, an essential function for mitochondrial sheath formation and male fertility.
