Large-scale identification of protein-protein interaction of Escherichia coli K-12 (2006)

Arifuzzaman, Mohammad, Maeda, Maki, Itoh, Aya, Nishikata, Kensaku, Takita, Chiharu, Saito, Rintaro, ...

Protein–protein interactions play key roles in protein function and the structural organization of a cell. A thorough description of these interactions should facilitate elucidation of cellular...

The Arabidopsis HETEROCHROMATIN PROTEIN1 Homolog (TERMINAL FLOWER2) Silences Genes within Euchromatic Region but Not Genes Positioned in Heterochromatin (2005)

Nakahigashi, Kenji, Jasencakova, Zuzana, Schubert, Ingo, Goto, Koji

TERMINAL FLOWER2 (TFL2) is the only homolog of Heterochromatin protein1 (HP1) in the Arabidopsis genome. Because proteins of the HP1 family in fission yeast and animals act as key components of gene...

Arabidopsis TERMINAL FLOWER 2 Gene Encodes a Heterochromatin Protein 1 Homolog and Represses both FLOWERING LOCUS T to Regulate Flowering Time and Several Floral Homeotic Genes (2003)

Kotake, Toshihisa, Takada, Shinobu, Nakahigashi, Kenji, Ohto, Masaaki, Goto, Koji

Floral transition should be strictly regulated because it is one of the most critical developmental processes in plants. Arabidopsis terminal flower 2 (tfl2) mutants show an early-flowering phenotype...

A nicked group II intron and trans-splicing in liverwort, Marchantia polymorpha, chloroplasts (1988)

Kohchi, Takayuki, Umesono, Kazuhiko, Ogura, Yutaka, Komine, Yuriko, Nakahigashi, Kenji, Komano, Tohru, ...

The chloroplast gene rps12 for ribosomal protein S12 in a liverwort, Marchantia polymorpha, is split into three exons by two introns, one of which (intron 1) is discontinuous. Exon 1 of rps12 for the...

Differential and Independent Roles of a ς32 Homolog (RpoH) and an HrcA Repressor in the Heat Shock Response of Agrobacterium tumefaciens

Nakahigashi, Kenji, Ron, Eliora Z., Yanagi, Hideki, Yura, Takashi

The heat shock response in alpha proteobacteria is unique in that a combination of two regulators is involved: a positive regulator, RpoH (ς32 homolog), found in the alpha, beta, and gamma...

DnaK Chaperone-Mediated Control of Activity of a ς32 Homolog (RpoH) Plays a Major Role in the Heat Shock Response of Agrobacterium tumefaciens

Nakahigashi, Kenji, Yanagi, Hideki, Yura, Takashi

RpoH (Escherichia coli ς32 and its homologs) is the central regulator of the heat shock response in gram-negative proteobacteria. Here we studied salient regulatory features of RpoH in Agrobacterium...

Regulatory Conservation and Divergence of ς32 Homologs from Gram-Negative Bacteria: Serratia marcescens, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Agrobacterium tumefaciens

Nakahigashi, Kenji, Yanagi, Hideki, Yura, Takashi

The heat shock response in Escherichia coli is mediated primarily by the rpoH gene, encoding ς32, which is specifically required for transcription of heat shock genes. A number of ς32 homologs have...

HemK, a class of protein methyl transferase with similarity to DNA methyl transferases, methylates polypeptide chain release factors, and hemK knockout induces defects in translational termination

Nakahigashi, Kenji, Kubo, Naoko, Narita, Shin-ichiro, Shimaoka, Takeshi, Goto, Simon, Oshima, Taku, ...

HemK, a universally conserved protein of unknown function, has high amino acid similarity with DNA-(adenine-N6) methyl transferases (MTases). A certain mutation in hemK gene rescues the...

Heat Shock Proteome of Agrobacterium tumefaciens: Evidence for New Control Systems

Rosen, Ran, Büttner, Knut, Becher, Dörte, Nakahigashi, Kenji, Yura, Takashi, Hecker, Michael, ...

The regulation of Agrobacterium tumefaciens heat shock genes involves a transcriptional activator (RpoH) and repressor elements (HrcA-CIRCE). Using proteome analysis and mutants in these control...

tRNA2Thr Complements Temperature Sensitivity Caused by Null Mutations in the htrB Gene in Escherichia coli

Mohri, Yoshio, Goto, Simon, Nakahigashi, Kenji, Inokuchi, Hachiro

According to the wobble rule, tRNA2Thr is nonessential for protein synthesis, because the codon (ACG) that is recognized by tRNA2Thr is also recognized by tRNA4Thr. In order to investigate the reason...
