Inhibition of Aspartate Chemotaxis of Escherichia coli by Site-Directed Sulfhydryl Modification of the Receptor (1993)

Gomi, Sumiko, Lee, Lan, Iwama, Tomonori, Imae, Yasuo

Thr-154 of the chemoreceptor Tar in Escherichia coli is important for aspartate sensing. Taking advantage of the fact that Tar has no Cys residues, we have further investigated the role of Thr-154 by...

Roles of the Respiratory Na+ Pump in Bioenergetics of Vibrio alginolyticus (1988)

Tokuda, Hajime, Asano, Makoto, Shimamura, Yoshiki, Unemoto, Tsutomu, Sugiyama, Shigeru, Imae, Yasuo

Bioenergetic characteristics of Na+ pump-defective mutants of a marine bacterium Vibrio alginolyticus were compared with those of the wild type and revertant. Generation of membrane potential and...

Purification and Properties of Uridine Diphosphoglucose 4-epimerase from Escherichia coli (1964)

IMAE, YASUO, MORIKAWA, NOBUKO, KURAHASHI, KIYOSHI

A method for purification of UDPglucose 4-epimerase from Escherichia coli was described. An overall purification of 80-fold above the crude extract was achieved. With the use of this partially...

Isolation of Uridine Diphosphogalactose from Escherichia coli Mutant Cells (1964)

MORIKAWA, NOBUKO, IMAE, YASUO, NIKAIDO, HIROSHI

An improved method for the isolation of UDPgalactose from a mutant of Escherichia coli is described. The purity of the preparation is about 95% when it is measured enzymatically and...

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...

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...
