Radiation Resistance and its Inheritance in the Silkworm, Bombyx mori (2006)

Takahashi, Masateru, Lee, Jae Man, Mon, Hiroaki, Yoshida, Hiroko, Kawaguchi, Yutaka, Maekawa, Hideaki, ...

Exposure to radiation causes various biological effects, which can be detected both in the exposed animals and their offspring. In the silkworm, Bombyx mori, many studies in somatic and genetic...

Integration of the 5' end of the retrotransposon, R2Bm, can be complemented by homologous recombination (2004)

Fujimoto, Hirofumi, Hirukawa, Yukiko, Tani, Hideki, Matsuura, Yoshiharu, Hashido, Kazuo, Tsuchida, Kozo, ...

R2Bm is a non‐long‐terminal‐repeat (non‐LTR) retrotransposon that was identified at a specific target site in the 28S rRNA genes of the silkworm, Bombyx mori. Although in vitro...

Introns and their flanking sequences of Bombyx mori rDNA (1984)

Fujiwara, Haruhiko, Ogura, Teru, Takada, Naoko, Miyajima, Naoko, Ishikawa, Hajime, Maekawa, Hideaki

We obtained two different clones (16 kb and 13 kb) of B. mori rDNA with intron sequence within the 28S-rRNA coding region. The sequence surrounding the intron was found to be highly conserved as...

Integration of the 5′ end of the retrotransposon, R2Bm, can be complemented by homologous recombination

Fujimoto, Hirofumi, Hirukawa, Yukiko, Tani, Hideki, Matsuura, Yoshiharu, Hashido, Kazuo, Tsuchida, Kozo, ...

R2Bm is a non-long-terminal-repeat (non-LTR) retrotransposon that was identified at a specific target site in the 28S rRNA genes of the silkworm, Bombyx mori. Although in vitro analysis has revealed...

Molecular characterization of mutant actin genes which induce heat-shock proteins in Drosophila flight muscles

Okamoto, Hitoshi, Hiromi, Yasushi, Ishikawa, Etsuko, Yamada, Takuma, Isoda, Kazuyoshi, Maekawa, Hideaki, ...

Heat-shock proteins (hsps) are constitutively induced by the mutant actins in the Drosophila indirect flight muscles (IFM). We compared primary structures of the mutant actin genes (KM75 and HH5)...

Carotenoid silk coloration is controlled by a carotenoid-binding protein, a product of the Yellow blood gene

Sakudoh, Takashi, Sezutsu, Hideki, Nakashima, Takeharu, Kobayashi, Isao, Fujimoto, Hirofumi, Uchino, Keiro, ...

Mechanisms for the uptake and transport of carotenoids, essential nutrients for humans, are not well understood in any animal system. The Y (Yellow blood) gene, a critical cocoon color determinant in...
