408 Genome Informatics 13: 408–409 (2002) Tandem Repeats in Prokaryotic Genomes (2008)
Jiewen Liu, Hikaru Munakata, Abulimiti Aimaiti, Akito Taneda, Kenji Oosawa, Toshio Shimizu
Genomes contain many perfect and approximate tandem repeats. In general, tandem repeats are generated by duplication which changes genome structures, so that it is one of the important processes of...

Prokaryotic Genomes Hikaru, Hikaru Munakata, Abulimiti Aimaiti, Akito Taneda, Kenji Oosawa, Toshio Shimizu
Introduction Genomes contain many perfect and approximate tandem repeats (TRs) which are two or more adjacent similar DNA sequences of a certain length and are products of tandem duplication....
Oosawa, Kenji, Mutoh, Norihiro, Simon, M. I.
A gene encoding only the C-terminal portion of the receptor-transducer protein Tar of Escherichia coli was constructed. The gene product was detected and localized in the cytoplasmic fraction of the...
Protein phosphorylation is involved in bacterial chemotaxis (1987)
Hess, J. Fred, Oosawa, Kenji, Matsumura, Philip, Simon, Melvin I.
The nature of the biochemical signal that is involved in the excitation response in bacterial chemotaxis is not known. However, ATP is required for chemotaxis. We have purified all of the proteins...
Site-specific mutagenesis was used to replace an alanine with a lysine residue and to create a deletion of seven amino acids into the first transmembrane region (TMI region) of the aspartate...
Characterization of Escherichia coli chemotaxis receptor mutants with null phenotypes (1986)
Mutoh, Norihiro, Oosawa, Kenji, Simon, Melvin I.
Hydroxylamine mutagenesis was used to alter the tar gene that encodes the transmembrane Tar protein required for chemotaxis. Mutants defective in chemotaxis were selected, and the mutation was...
Effect of Intracellular pH on Rotational Speed of Bacterial Flagellar Motors†
Minamino, Tohru, Imae, Yasuo, Oosawa, Fumio, Kobayashi, Yuji, Oosawa, Kenji
Weak acids such as acetate and benzoate, which partially collapse the transmembrane proton gradient, not only mediate pH taxis but also impair the motility of Escherichia coli and Salmonella at an...
