The five areas of the project are as follows: 1. On-site coaching to public schools by professors of Graduate School of Education. 2. Providing advices and instructions to the Board of Education and the principals by professors of Graduate School of Education. 3. Cooperation of teacher visits by Suzuka Board of Education to Graduate School of Education. 4. Suzuka Board of Education’s cooperation to practical educational research conducted by Graduate School of Education. 5. Other projects based on the discussion and agreement between Graduate School of Education and Suzuka Board of Education. Through concrete methods of this cooperative project based on this agreement, we studied the cooperation among universities, boards of education, and schools. This Study is a sequel of“ Practical Study on Educational Improvement through Partnership among University, School and The Board of Education (I) and (V).

平成２３年度より，教職大学院を中心組織として，本学と鈴鹿市教育委員会は，平成２３年３月連携事業に関する協定書を交わした。この事業の一環として，平成２３・２４年度に鈴鹿市内の中学校において，生徒用，教職員用並びに保護者用の質問紙調査を実施した。本研究では，平成２３年度版の保護者用の調査項目の構成を検討して作成した平成２４年度版の学校診断質問紙の構成について検証した。平成２４年度版では汎用化のために，保護者用については３領域６下位領域の３３項目を設定した。平成２４年１１〜１２月に実施した調査結果に関する主成分分析の結果，保護者用では４因子が抽出された。設定領域との対照では，若干の項目については異なった関連性を示したが，多くの項目については設定領域の診断項目としての妥当性が示された。On March 2011, Naruto University of Education, putting Advanced Practice of School Education as a center organization, signed an Agreement of Cooperative Project with Suzuka Board of Education. We carried out the questionnaire survey of junior high school students, teachers and parents of the students in Suzuka City at 2011 and 2012 on this Project. The construction of the school assessment questionnaires for the parents of the 2012 version that examines those of the 2011 version are studied. In the 2012 version of the school assessment questionnaires, 33 items in the 3 categories / 6 subcategories at the parents were set up for generalized use. As a result of principal component analysis of survey data on November and December 2012, 4 factors were extracted in for the parents. Although a little item showed different relevancy from the setting, many items showed the validity as the assessment items of that

Monogalactosyldiacylglycerol synthesis in the outer envelope membrane of chloroplasts is required for enhanced growth under sucrose supplementation

Plant galactolipid synthesis on the outer envelope membranes of chloroplasts is an important biosynthetic pathway for sustained growth under conditions of phosphate (Pi) depletion. During Pi starvation, the amount of digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG) is increased to substitute for the phospholipids that are degraded for supplying Pi. An increase in DGDG concentration depends on an adequate supply of monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG), which is a substrate for DGDG synthesis and is synthesized by a type-B MGDG synthase, MGD3. Recently, sucrose was suggested to be a global regulator of plant responses to Pi starvation. Thus, we analyzed expression levels of several genes involved in lipid remodeling during Pi starvation in Arabidopsis thaliana and found that the abundance of MGD3 mRNA increased when sucrose was exogenously supplied to the growth medium. Sucrose supplementation retarded the growth of the Arabidopsis MGD3 knockout mutant mgd3 but enhanced the growth of transgenic Arabidopsis plants overexpressing MGD3 compared with wild type, indicating the involvement of MGD3 in plant growth under sucrose-replete conditions. Although most features such as chlorophyll content, photosynthetic activity, and Pi content were comparable between wild-type and the transgenic plants overexpressing MGD3, sucrose content in shoot tissues decreased and incorporation of exogenously supplied carbon to DGDG was enhanced in the MGD3-overexpressing plants compared with wild type. Our results suggest that MGD3 plays an important role in supplying DGDG as a component of extraplastidial membranes to support enhanced plant growth under conditions of carbon excess

Change in specific interactions between lactose repressor protein and DNA induced by ligand binding: molecular dynamics and molecular orbital calculations

<div><p>Lactose repressor protein (LacR) plays an essential role in controlling the transcription mechanism of genomic information from DNA to mRNA. It has been elucidated that a ligand binding to LacR regulates allosterically the specific interactions between LacR and operator DNA. However, the effect of the ligand binding on the specific interactions has not been clarified at an atomic level. In this study, we performed classical molecular dynamics (MD) and <i>ab initio</i> fragment molecular orbital simulations to elucidate the effect of ligand binding at atomic and electronic levels. The MD simulations for the solvated complexes with LacR-dimer, DNA and ligand demonstrate that the binding of an inducer IPTG to LacR-dimer significantly changes the structure of LacR-monomer to cause strong interactions between LacR-monomers, resulting in weakening the interactions between LacR-dimer and DNA. In contrast, the binding of an anti-inducer ONPF to LacR-dimer was found to enhance the interactions between LacR-dimer and DNA. These findings are consistent with the functions of IPTG and ONPF as an inducer and an anti-inducer, respectively. We therefore proposed a simplified model for the effect of the ligand binding on the specific interactions between LacR-dimer and DNA.</p></div
