Hepatocyte growth factor activator inhibitor type 1 (HAI-1) is a Kunitz-type serine protease inhibitor, which was identified as a potent inhibitor of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) activator from the...

Purification and Characterization of an Endonuclease Specific for Single-Stranded DNA from Bacillus subtilis Marburg (1979)

MATSUMOTO, Kouji, ANDO, Tadahiko, SAITO, Hiuga, IKEDA, Yƶnosuke

Bacillus subtilis Marburg TI (thy, trpC2) has at least four endonuclease activities as assayed by measuring the conversion of single-stranded circular f1 DNA to the linear form by agarose gel...

Viability of an Escherichia coli pgsA Null Mutant Lacking Detectable Phosphatidylglycerol and Cardiolipin

Kikuchi, Shin, Shibuya, Isao, Matsumoto, Kouji

Phosphatidylglycerol, the most abundant acidic phospholipid in Escherichia coli, has been considered to play specific roles in various cellular processes and is believed to be essential for cell...

Cloning, Sequencing, and Disruption of the Bacillus subtilis psd Gene Coding for Phosphatidylserine Decarboxylase

Matsumoto, Kouji, Okada, Masahiro, Horikoshi, Yuko, Matsuzaki, Hiroshi, Kishi, Tsutomu, Itaya, Mitsuhiro, ...

The psd gene of Bacillus subtilis Marburg, encoding phosphatidylserine decarboxylase, has been cloned and sequenced. It encodes a polypeptide of 263 amino acid residues (deduced molecular weight of...

Envelope Disorder of Escherichia coli Cells Lacking Phosphatidylglycerol

Suzuki, Motoo, Hara, Hiroshi, Matsumoto, Kouji

Phosphatidylglycerol, the most abundant acidic phospholipid in Escherichia coli, is considered to play specific roles in various cellular processes that are essential for cell viability. A null...

Genetic Mapping in Bacillus subtilis by 5-Bromouracil Sensitization to Ultraviolet Inactivation of Transforming Activities

Matsumoto, Kouji, Shibata, Takehiko, Saito, Hiuga

A new method for chromosome mapping of Bacillus subtilis Marburg is presented which is based on the sensitization to ultraviolet irradiation of transforming deoxyribonucleic acid that has...

Cardiolipin Domains in Bacillus subtilis Marburg Membranes

Kawai, Fumitaka, Shoda, Momoko, Harashima, Rie, Sadaie, Yoshito, Hara, Hiroshi, Matsumoto, Kouji

Recently, use of the cardiolipin (CL)-specific fluorescent dye 10-N-nonyl-acridine orange (NAO) revealed CL-rich domains in the Escherichia coli membrane (E. Mileykovskaya and W. Dowhan, J....

Activation of the Rcs Signal Transduction System Is Responsible for the Thermosensitive Growth Defect of an Escherichia coli Mutant Lacking Phosphatidylglycerol and Cardiolipin

Shiba, Yasuhiro, Yokoyama, Yasuko, Aono, Yoshiko, Kiuchi, Takashi, Kusaka, Jin, Matsumoto, Kouji, ...

The lethal effect of an Escherichia coli pgsA null mutation, which causes a complete lack of the major acidic phospholipids, phosphatidylglycerol and cardiolipin, is alleviated by a lack of the major...

Phosphatidylethanolamine Domains and Localization of Phospholipid Synthases in Bacillus subtilis Membranes

Nishibori, Ayako, Kusaka, Jin, Hara, Hiroshi, Umeda, Masato, Matsumoto, Kouji

Application of the cardiolipin (CL)-specific fluorescent dye 10-N-nonyl-acridine orange has recently revealed CL-rich domains in the septal regions and at the poles of the Bacillus subtilis membrane...
