Intra-cellular transport of single-headed molecular motors KIF1A (2005)
Nishinari, Katsuhiro, Okada, Yasushi, Schadschneider, Andreas, Chowdhury, Debashish
Motivated by experiments on single-headed kinesin KIF1A, we develop a model of intra-cellular transport by interacting molecular motors. It captures explicitly not only the effects of ATP hydrolysis,...

A cDNA clone for phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) was isolated from nodules of pea (Pisum sativum L.). The levels of activity, the PEPC polypeptide and the mRNA for PEPC in effective nodules...
Microvascular basal lamina antigens disappear during cerebral ischemia and reperfusion (1995)
Hamann, Gerhard F., Okada, Yasushi, Fitridge, Robert A., Del Zoppo, Gregory J.
Background and Purpose Changes in vascular permeability are well-known and important consequences of cerebral ischemia. The development of edema and of petechial hemorrhage is connected to altered...

A motor-domain construct of KIF1A, a single-headed kinesin superfamily protein, was demonstrated to take more than 600 steps before detaching from a microtubule. However, its molecular mechanism...
Identification and classification of 16 new kinesin superfamily (KIF) proteins in mouse genome
Nakagawa, Terunaga, Tanaka, Yosuke, Matsuoka, Eiji, Kondo, Satoru, Okada, Yasushi, Noda, Yasuko, ...
KIF (kinesin superfamily) proteins are microtubule-dependent molecular motors that play important roles in intracellular transport and cell division. The extent to which KIFs are involved in various...
Binding of Murine Leukemia Virus Gag Polyproteins to KIF4, a Microtubule-Based Motor Protein
Kim, Wankee, Tang, Yao, Okada, Yasushi, Torrey, Ted A., Chattopadhyay, Sisir K., Pfleiderer, Michael, ...
A cDNA clone encoding a cellular protein that interacts with murine leukemia virus (MuLV) Gag proteins was isolated from a T-cell lymphoma library. The sequence of the clone is identical to the C...

Nodal cilia dynamics is a key factor for left/right axis determination in mouse embryos through the induction of a leftward fluid flow. So far it has not been clearly established how such dynamics is...

A standardized kinesin nomenclature
Lawrence, Carolyn J., Dawe, R. Kelly, Christie, Karen R., Cleveland, Don W., Dawson, Scott C., Endow, Sharyn A., ...
In recent years the kinesin superfamily has become so large that several different naming schemes have emerged, leading to confusion and miscommunication. Here, we set forth a standardized kinesin...

KIF3A is a classical member of the kinesin superfamily proteins (KIFs), ubiquitously expressed although predominantly in neural tissues, and which forms a heterotrimeric KIF3 complex with KIF3B or...

The nerve axon is a good model system for studying the molecular mechanism of organelle transport in cells. Recently, the new kinesin superfamily proteins (KIFs) have been identified as candidate...

We have identified and characterized a COOH-terminal motor domain–type kinesin superfamily protein (KIFC), KIFC3, in the kidney. KIFC3 is a minus end–directed microtubule motor protein, therefore...

Monetary and international factors behind Japan's lost decade
Hamada, Koichi, Okada, Yasushi
Most studies on Japan's "lost decade" have been broadly focused on its real and domestic aspects, such as total factory productivity (TPF), growth decline, non-performing loans, and governance. This...
Left–Right Determination: Involvement of Molecular Motor KIF3, Cilia, and Nodal Flow
Hirokawa, Nobutaka, Tanaka, Yosuke, Okada, Yasushi
Mammalian left–right determination is a good example for how multiple cell biological processes coordinate in the formation of a basic body plan. The leftward movement of fluid at the ventral node,...
