Preparation of composite materials of polypyrrole and electroactive polymer gel using for actuating system (2005)

Yamauchi, T., Tansuriyavong, S., Doi, K., Oshima, K., Shimomura, A., Tsubokawa, N., ...

In the present work we report on preparation of composite materials of polypyrrole and electroactive polymer gel using for the actuating system. Composite materials of conducting polymer and polymer...

Phosphorylation of ATF-1 enhances its DNA binding and transcription of the Na,K-ATPase alpha 1 subunit gene promoter (1997)

Kobayashi, M, Shimomura, A, Hagiwara, M, Kawakami, K

Phosphorylation of ATF-1 enhances its DNA binding and transcription of the Na,K-ATPase alpha 1 subunit gene promoter.

Kobayashi, M, Shimomura, A, Hagiwara, M, Kawakami, K

Transcriptional activity of both ATF-1 and CREB is enhanced by protein phosphorylation. While enhancement has been attributed to an increase in binding affinity for a co-activator (CBP), induction of...

Effect of calcium chelators on the Ca2+-dependent luminescence of aequorin.

Shimomura, O, Shimomura, A

The luminescence of aequorin, a useful tool for studying intracellular Ca2+, was recently found to be inhibited by the free EDTA and EGTA that are present in calcium buffers. In the present study we...

Halistaurin, phialidin and modified forms of aequorin as Ca2+ indicator in biological systems.

Shimomura, O, Shimomura, A

Two kinds of aequorin-type photoproteins, i.e., halistaurin and phialidin, and four kinds of modified forms of aequorin, i.e., products of acetylation, ethoxycarbonylation, fluorescamine-modification...

Resistivity to denaturation of the apoprotein of aequorin and reconstitution of the luminescent photoprotein from the partially denatured apoprotein.

Shimomura, O, Shimomura, A

Although native aequorin is highly susceptible to inactivation, apoaequorin is highly resistant to various processes of denaturation. Apoaequorin was inactivated only partially at a temperature of 95...
