Left-handedly curved DNA regulates accessibility to cis-DNA elements in chromatin (2003)

Nishikawa, Jun-ichi, Amano, Miho, Fukue, Yoshiro, Tanaka, Shigeo, Kishi, Haruka, Hirota, Yoshiko, ...

There is little information on chromatin structure that allows access of trans‐acting transcription factors. Logically, the target DNA elements become accessible by either exposing themselves...

A possible function of DNA curvature in a vector system that allows efficient expression of heterologous proteins in CHO cells (1999)

Hirota, Yoshiko, Maeda, Takuji, Yan, Hua, Nakamichi, Noboru, Matsumura, Toshiharu

A cis-acting element derived from the nontranscribed spacer region of murine rDNA allows efficient expression of heterologous proteins in transformed Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Analysis of...

Alteration of the curved helical structure located in the upstream region of the {beta}-lactamase promoter of plasmid pUC 19 and its effect on transcription (1992)

Ohyama, Takashi, Nagumo, Masahiko, Hirota, Yoshiko, Sakuma, Sadatoshi

The region preceding the β-lactamase promoter of Escherichia coli plasmid pUC19 has a curved DNA (bent DNA) structure. The center of the curvature was revealed to exist around nucleotide position...
