The strange evolutionary history of plant mitochondrial tRNAs and their aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (1999)

Small, I, Akashi, K, Chapron, A, Dietrich, A, Duchene, A-M, Lancelin, D, ...

The translation systems of plant mitochondria differ from those of other mitochondria in that they incorporate tRNAs of three different origins: native mitochondrial tRNAs, plastid tRNAs transcribed...

K+-β-Ferrite as a New Cathode Active Material for Lithium Secondary Battery (1997)

Ito, S., Ui, K., Hoshi, N., Kurosawa, H., Koura, N., Akashi, K.

The possibility of K+-β-ferrite (Kl.33Fe11O17) as a cathode active material for lithium secondary battery was investigated. It was confirmed that lithium ions certainly inserted into...

Preparation of (Zn, Fe)Fe2O4 Thin Film by MOCVD (1997)

Ito, S., Mochizuki, T., Chiba, M., Akashi, K., Yoneda, N.

(Zn,Fe)Fe2O4 thin films have been prepared by MOCVD, applying a novel evaporation method for MO reagents ; Zn(acac)2 and Fe(acac)3. These reagents were mixed with a composition of Fe/Zn=0.5-2.0 and...

Coexistence of nuclear DNA-encoded tRNAVal(AAC) and mitochondrial DNA-encoded tRNAVal(UAC) in mitochondria of a liverwort Marchantia polymorpha.

Akashi, K, Takenaka, M, Yamaoka, S, Suyama, Y, Fukuzawa, H, Ohyama, K

The liverwort Marchantia polymorpha mitochondrial DNA encodes almost all tRNAs required for mitochondrial translation except for the isoleucine (AUU, AUC) and threonine (ACA, ACG) codons, while the...

Production of human interferon-gamma in serum-free medium.

Tsujimoto, M, Tarutani, T, Ogawa, K, Akashi, K, Okubo, Y, Higashi, N

Interferon (IFN)-gamma was produced with a high yield in cultures of human peripheral mononuclear cells by combined stimulation with OK-432 and staphylococcal enterotoxin B. Human mononuclear cells...

Interleukin 4 suppresses the spontaneous growth of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia cells.

Akashi, K, Shibuya, T, Harada, M, Takamatsu, Y, Uike, N, Eto, T, ...

We studied the effects of IL-4 on the spontaneous proliferation of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMMoL) cells in vitro. IL-4 (100 U/ml) suppressed the spontaneous DNA synthesis by approximately...

Group I introns in the liverwort mitochondrial genome: the gene coding for subunit 1 of cytochrome oxidase shares five intron positions with its fungal counterparts.

Ohta, E, Oda, K, Yamato, K, Nakamura, Y, Takemura, M, Nozato, N, ...

The complete nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from a liverwort, Marchantia polymorpha, contains thirty-two introns. Twenty-five of these introns possess the characteristic...

Transfer RNA genes in the mitochondrial genome from a liverwort, Marchantia polymorpha: the absence of chloroplast-like tRNAs.

Oda, K, Yamato, K, Ohta, E, Nakamura, Y, Takemura, M, Nozato, N, ...

Twenty-nine genes for 27 species of tRNAs were deduced from the complete nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial genome from a liverwort, Marchantia polymorpha. One to three species of tRNA genes...

Detection of human herpes virus 6 (HHV 6) in the skin of a patient with primary HHV 6 infection and erythroderma.

Sumiyoshi, Y, Akashi, K, Kikuchi, M

Human herpes virus 6 (HHV 6) has been implicated as the causative agent of exanthema subitum in young children. Recently, we reported two cases of a severe, infectious, mononucleosis-like syndrome...

Preparation of giant liposomes in physiological conditions and their characterization under an optical microscope.

Akashi, K, Miyata, H, Itoh, H, Kinosita, K

Unilamellar liposomes with diameters of 25-100 microns were prepared in various physiological salt solutions, e.g., 100 mM KCl plus 1 mM CaCl2. Successful preparation of the giant liposomes at high...

Formation of giant liposomes promoted by divalent cations: critical role of electrostatic repulsion.

Akashi, K, Miyata, H, Itoh, H, Kinosita, K

Spontaneous formation of giant unilamellar liposomes in a gentle hydration process, as well as the adhesion energy between liposomal membranes, has been found to be dependent on the concentration of...

Gene clusters for ribosomal proteins in the mitochondrial genome of a liverwort, Marchantia polymorpha.

Takemura, M, Oda, K, Yamato, K, Ohta, E, Nakamura, Y, Nozato, N, ...

We detected 16 genes for ribosomal proteins in the complete sequence of the mitochondrial DNA from a liverwort, Marchantia polymorpha. The genes formed two major clusters, rps12-rps7 and...
