Pleiotrophic functions of Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen-1 (EBNA-1) and oriP differentially contribute to the efficiency of transfection/expression of exogenous gene in mammalian cells (2007)

Kishida, Tsunao, Asada, Hidetsugu, Kubo, Koji, Sato, Yuko T., Shin-Ya, Masaharu, Imanishi, Jiro, ...

The EBNA1 gene and oriP sequence, originally derived from the EBV genome, provide plasmid vectors with artificial chromosome (AC)-like characteristics, including cytoplasm-to-nuclear transport,...

Do Foreign Currency Deposits Promote or Deter Financial Development in Low-Income Countries? An Empirical Analysis of Cross-Country Data (2007)

Kubo, Koji

Foreign currency deposits (FCD) are prevalent in many low-income developing countries, but their impact on bank lending has rarely been examined. An examination of cross-country data indicates that a...

Hyaluronic acid and its derivative as a multi-functional gene expression enhancer: Protection from non-specific interactions, adhesion to targeted cells, and transcriptional activation (2006)

Ito, Tomoko, Iida-Tanaka, Naoko, Niidome, Takuro, Kawano, Takahito, Kubo, Koji, Yoshikawa, Kenichi, ...

Hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural anionic mucopolysaccharide, can be deposited onto the cationic surface of DNA/polyethyleneimine (PEI) complexes to recharge the surface potential and reduce...

The Degree of Competition in the Thai Banking Industry before and after the East Asian Crisis (2006)

Kubo, Koji

This paper analyzes the influence of the East Asian crisis and the subsequent reforms on the oligopolistic nature of the Thai banking industry. Since the crisis, there have been substantial changes...

Imperfect Competition and Costly Screening in the Credit Market under Conditions of Asymmetric Information (2004)

Kubo, Koji

This article provides an analysis of how banks determine levels of information production when they are in imperfect competition and there is a condition of information asymmetry between borrowers...

All-or-none switching of transcriptional activity on single DNA molecules caused by a discrete conformational transition (2004)

Yamada, Ayako, Kubo, Koji, Nakai, Tonau, Tsumoto, Kanta, Yoshikawa, Kenichi

Recently, it has been confirmed that long duplex DNA molecules with sizes larger than several tens of kilo-base pairs (kbp), exhibit a discrete conformational transition from an elongated coil state...
