Nozaki, Naohito, Naoe, Tomoki, Okazaki, Tuneko

c-Myc protein contains a basic helix-loop-helix and leucine zipper (bHLHLZ) structure in its carboxyl terminal region, forms heterodimers with Max, and binds to the CACGTG sequence in DNA. A number...

Distribution of CENP-B boxes reflected in CREST centromere antigenic sites on long-range {alpha}-satellite DNA arrays of human chromosome 21 (1994)

Ikeno, Masashi, Masumoto, Hiroshi, Okazaki, Tuneko

The long-range organization of alphold DNA arrays of human chromosome 21 was investigated using a mouse - human somatic cell hybrid. Two distinct long alphoid DNA arrays, the loci α21-l and α21-ll,...

RNA-primed intitiation sites of DNA replication in the origin region of bacteriophage {lambda} genome (1988)

Yoda, Kin-ya, Yasuda, Hachiro, Jiang, Xiao-Wang, Okazaki, Tuneko

Using DNA molecules synthesized in the early stage of λ phage infection, deoxynucleotides at the transition sites from primer RNA to DNA synthesis have been mapped in the 1.5 kbase area of the λ...

The distribution and properties of RNA primed initiation sites of DNA synthesis at the replication origin of Escherichia coli chromosome (1985)

Kohara, Yuji, Tohdoh, Naoki, Jiang, Xiao-Wang, Okazaki, Tuneko

RNA-linked DNA molecules were obtained from E. coli dnaCts cells synchronously initiating a new round of chromosome replication. The deoxynucleotides at the transition from primer RNA to DNA were...

Alkali-labile structures linked to the 5' ends of Bacillus subtilis short DNA chains (1985)

Yasuda, Hachiro, Okazaki, Tuneko

Alkali-labile portion covalently linked to the 5′ ends of Bacillus subtilis short DNA chains, the putative primer RNA for discontinuous DNA synthesis, was isolated and analyzed using a temperature...

Characterization of nascent DNA fragments produced by excision of uracil residues in DNA (1981)

Machida, Yasunori, Okazaki, Tuneko, Miyake, Tetsuo, Ohtsuka, Eiko, Ikehara, Morio

Nascent short DNA chains could result from repair of incorporated uracil residues or be intermediates in discontinuous replication. We have characterized short DNA chains having...

RNA-linked nascent DNA pieces in phage T7-infected Escherichia coli. II. Primary structure of the RNA portion (1979)

Sekit, Tetsunori, Okazaki, Tuneko

Short DNA chains were purified from phage T7 Infected E. coll cells and 5′ ends were labeled with 32P. By an alkali-treatment, pNp's rich In pAp and pCp were liberated from the T7 short DNA chains....

RNA-linked nascent DNA pieces in phage T7-infected Escherichia coli. III. Detection of intact primer RNA (1979)

Ogawa, Tohm, Okazaki, Tuneko

RNA-linked DNA fragments of T7-lnfected Escherlchla coli were labeled with [32P]orthophosphate In vivo. The RNA segments of the labeled fragments were Isolated by degrading the DNA portion with the...

Human centromere protein A (CENP-A) can replace histone H3 in nucleosome reconstitution in vitro

Yoda, Kinya, Ando, Satoshi, Morishita, Setsuo, Houmura, Kenichi, Hashimoto, Keiji, Takeyasu, Kunio, ...

Centromere protein A (CENP-A) is a variant of histone H3 with more than 60% sequence identity at the C-terminal histone fold domain. CENP-A specifically locates to active centromeres of animal...

CENP-A, -B, and -C Chromatin Complex That Contains the I-Type α-Satellite Array Constitutes the Prekinetochore in HeLa Cells

Ando, Satoshi, Yang, Hua, Nozaki, Naohito, Okazaki, Tuneko, Yoda, Kinya

CENP-A is a component of centromeric chromatin and defines active centromere regions by forming centromere-specific nucleosomes. We have isolated centromeric chromatin containing the CENP-A...

MECHANISM OF DNA CHAIN GROWTH, IV. DIRECTION OF SYNTHESIS OF T4 SHORT DNA CHAINS AS REVEALED BY EXONUCLEOLYTIC DEGRADATION*

Okazaki, Tuneko, Okazaki, Reiji

T4 nascent short chains labeled at their growing ends with H3-thymidine and uniformly with C14-thymidine were prepared, separated into complementary strands, and degraded by E. coli exonuclease I in...

MECHANISM OF DNA CHAIN GROWTH, III. EQUAL ANNEALING OF T4 NASCENT SHORT DNA CHAINS WITH THE SEPARATED COMPLEMENTARY STRANDS OF THE PHAGE DNA*

Sugimoto, Kazunori, Okazaki, Tuneko, Imae, Yasuo, Okazaki, Reiji

Nascent short DNA chains isolated from T4-infected E. coli under a variety of conditions anneal equally to the separated complementary phage DNA strands. The samples examined include: pulse-labeled...
