ARR1 Directly Activates Cytokinin Response Genes that Encode Proteins with Diverse Regulatory Functions (2007)

Taniguchi, Masatoshi, Sasaki, Naokazu, Tsuge, Tomohiko, Aoyama, Takashi, Oka, Atsuhiro

Plant cells respond to cytokinins by changing their gene expression patterns. The histidyl–aspartyl (His–Asp) phosphorelay mediates the signal from cytokinin receptors to type-B response...

Artificial Control in Transgenic Plants of the Activity of Transcription Factors (MOLECULAR BIOLOGY AND INFORMATION-Molecular Biology) (2000)

Aoyama, Takashi, Ohgishi, Maki, Muramoto, Takuya, Tukuda, Mayumi, Oka, Atsuhiro

For artificial control in transgenic plants of the activity of transcription factors, constructed was a DNA cassette encoding the transcriptional activation domain of Herpes Simplex viral protein...

Two-component Response Regulators from Arabidopsis thaliana Contain a Putative DNA-binding Motif (MOLECULAR BIOLOGY AND INFORMATION-Molecular Biology) (1999)

Sakai, Hiroe, Aoyama, Takashi, Bono, Hidemasa, Oka, Atsuhiro

An expression sequence tag database of higher plants was screened by in silico profile analysis for response regulators of the two-component regulatory system. Two closely related genes (ARR1 and...

Structural Characterization of the virB Operon of the Hairy-root-inducing Plasmid pRiA4 (MOLECULAR BIOLOGY AND INFORMATION-Molecular Biology) (1998)

Liang, Yajie, Aoyama, Takashi, Oka, Atsuhiro

The virulence (vir) loci of the hairy-root-inducing plasmid pRiA4 are essential for pathogenicity of its host Agrobacterium rhizogenes A4. We have now determined the nucleotide sequence of virB...

Structural Characterization of the virB Operon on the Hairy-root-inducing Plasmid A4 (1998)

Liang, Yajie, Aoyama, Takashi, Oka, Atsuhiro

The hairy-root-inducing plasmid A4 (pRiA4) is capable of conferring tumorigenic symptoms on plants upon infection by its host bacterium, Agrobacterium rhizogenes. The virB operon on pRiA4 has been...

Two-Component Response Regulators from Arabidopsis thaliana Contain a Putative DNA-Binding Motif (1998)

Sakai, Hiroe, Aoyama, Takashi, Bono, Hidemasa, Oka, Atsuhiro

An expression sequence tag database of higher plants was screened by in silico profile analysis for response regulators of the two-component regulatory system. Two closely related clones (ARR1 and...

Analysis of the Arabidopsis CDC2a Promoter (MOLECULAR BIOLOGY AND INFORMATION-Molecular Biology) (1997)

Imajuku, Yoshiro, Aoyama, Takashi, Goto, Koji, Oka, Atsuhiro

The eukaryotic cell division cycle is tightly controlled by a class of protein kinases. Arabidopsis CDC2a has been considered to encode one of those protein kinases because it is expressed in...

Functional Analysis of the VirG-Like Domain Contained in the Agrobacterium VirA Protein That Senses Plant Factors (1993)

Endoh, Hideki, Oka, Atsuhiro

The virulence regulon of the Agrobacterium hairy-root-inducing plasmid A4 is controlled by a two-component regulatory system, the VirA-VirG system. The VirA protein senses plant factors and transfers...

Signal structure for transcriptional activation in the upstream regions of virulence genes on the hairy-root-inducing plasmid A4 (1989)

Aoyama, Takashi, Takanami, Mituru, Oka, Atsuhiro

The inducibility of the vir genes (virA, -B, -C, -D, -E, and -G) on pRiA4 was examined at the transcriptional level, and the RNA-starting sites were determined by S1-nuclease mapping and...

The 245 base-pair oriC sequence of the E. coli chromosome directs bidirectional replication at an adjacent region (1983)

Tabata, Satoshi, Oka, Atsuhiro, Sugimoto, Kazunori, Takanami, Mituru, Yasuda, Soichi, Hirota, Yukinon

The replication origin of the E.coli K-12 chromosome has been isolated as autonomously replicating molecules (oriC plasmid), and the DNA region essential for replicating function (oriC) has been...

Structure of replication origin of the Escherichia coli K-12 chromosome: the presence of spacer sequences in the orl region carrying information for autonomous replication (1982)

Asada, Kiyozo, Sugimoto, Kazunori, Oka, Atsuhiro, Takanami, Mituru, Hirota, Yukinori

The replication origin region of the Escherichia coli K-12 chromosome has been cloned, and a region of 245 base-pairs has been shown to contain all the information for autonomous replication (defined...

Nucleotide sequence of the asnA gene coding for asparagine synthetase of E.coli K-12 (1981)

Nakamura, Masataka, Yamada, Masao, Hirota, Yukinori, Sugimoto, Kazunori, Oka, Atsuhiro, Takanami, Mituru

We have subcloned the asnA gene of E. coli K-12, a gene coding for asparagine synthetase, from a previously cloned 6 mega-dalton segment of E. coli chromosome containing the DNA replication origin,...
