Site-specific dissection of E.coli chromosome by {lambda} terminase (1992)

Kotani, Hirokazu, Kawamura, Akira, Takahashi, Asako, Nakatsuji, Masako, Hiraoka, Nobutsugu, Nakajima, Kazuo, ...

We have succeeded the targeted cleavage of chromosomes by λ terminase that introduces double-strand cleavages in DNA recognizing the λ cos sequence. When chromosomal DNAs of various Escherichia...

Signal structure for transcriptional activation in the upstream regions of virulence genes on the hairy-root-inducing plasmid A4 (1989)

Aoyama, Takashi, Takanami, Mituru, Oka, Atsuhiro

The inducibility of the vir genes (virA, -B, -C, -D, -E, and -G) on pRiA4 was examined at the transcriptional level, and the RNA-starting sites were determined by S1-nuclease mapping and...

Essential structure of E. coli promoter II. Effect of the sequences around the RNA start point on promoter function (1985)

Aoyama, Takashi, Takanami, Mituru

Starting from a synthetic E.coli promoter with the consensus sequences at −35 and −10 regions, a sequence CAT frequently occurred in the RNA start points of natural promoters was introduced in...

Essential structure of E. coli promoter effect of spacer length between the two consensus sequences on promoter function (1983)

Aoyama, Takashi, Takanami, Mituru, Ohtsuka, Eiko, Taniyama, Yoshio, Marumoto, Ryuji, Sato, Hiroko, ...

A promoter with the consensus sequences(TTGACA and TATAAT) at −35 and −10 regions was constructed, and the distance between the two consensus sequences was independently altered at two...

The 245 base-pair oriC sequence of the E. coli chromosome directs bidirectional replication at an adjacent region (1983)

Tabata, Satoshi, Oka, Atsuhiro, Sugimoto, Kazunori, Takanami, Mituru, Yasuda, Soichi, Hirota, Yukinon

The replication origin of the E.coli K-12 chromosome has been isolated as autonomously replicating molecules (oriC plasmid), and the DNA region essential for replicating function (oriC) has been...

Structure of replication origin of the Escherichia coli K-12 chromosome: the presence of spacer sequences in the orl region carrying information for autonomous replication (1982)

Asada, Kiyozo, Sugimoto, Kazunori, Oka, Atsuhiro, Takanami, Mituru, Hirota, Yukinori

The replication origin region of the Escherichia coli K-12 chromosome has been cloned, and a region of 245 base-pairs has been shown to contain all the information for autonomous replication (defined...

Nudeotide sequence of the transforming early region Elb of adenovirus type 12 DNA: structure and gene organization, and comparison with those of adenovirus type 5 DNA (1981)

Kimura, Takao, Sawada, Yukiharu, Shinawawa, Morikazu, Shimizu, Yasuaki, Shiroki, Kazuko, Shimojo, Hiroto, ...

The nudeotide sequence of the entire transforming early region Elb of the highly oncogenic adenovirus type 12 (Adl2) DNA has been determined. The total sequence (3860 base pairs) encompasses the...

Nucleotide sequence of the asnA gene coding for asparagine synthetase of E.coli K-12 (1981)

Nakamura, Masataka, Yamada, Masao, Hirota, Yukinori, Sugimoto, Kazunori, Oka, Atsuhiro, Takanami, Mituru

We have subcloned the asnA gene of E. coli K-12, a gene coding for asparagine synthetase, from a previously cloned 6 mega-dalton segment of E. coli chromosome containing the DNA replication origin,...

Electron Microscopy of the Replicative Form DNA of Coliphage fd (1971)

ODA, Takuzo, NAKAMURA, Takashi, WATANABE, Sekiko, TAKANAMI, Mituru

Electron microscopic observations were made on the replicative form DNA of bacteriophage fd. The doubly closed replicative form DNA (RF-1 DNA) was purified from E. coli cells infected with fd, and...
