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...

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,...

Isolation of Q nucleoside precursor present in tRNA of an E.coli mutant and its characterization as 7-(cyano)-7-deazaguanosine (1978)

Noguchi, Shigeru, Yamaizumi, Ziro, Ohgi, Tadaaki, Goto, Toshio, Nishimura, Yukinobu, Hirota, Yukinori, ...

One of the E. coli mutants selected for deficiency of modified nucleoside Q was found to contain an analogue of Q and normal guanosine in place of Q. The analogue of Q, designated as preQo, was...

Process of Cellular Division in Escherichia coli: Physiological Study on Thermosensitive Mutants Defective in Cell Division

Ricard, Matthieu, Hirota, Yukinori

Thermosensitive fts mutants of Escherichia coli belonging to seven previously identified genetic classes (ftsA to ftsG) were studied from a physiological standpoint. These mutants immediately stopped...

On the Process of Cellular Division in Escherichia coli, V. Incorporation of Deoxynucleoside Triphosphates by DNA Thermosensitive Mutants of Escherichia coli Also Lacking DNA Polymerase Activity*

Mordoh, José, Hirota, Yukinori, Jacob, François

Double mutants of Escherichia coli were constructed by combining DNA thermosensitive mutations affecting either DNA initiation (DnaA) or elongation (DnaB) with the Pol A1 mutation, which abolishes...

Impaired Transduction of R213 and Its Recovery by a Homologous Resident R Factor

Yoshikawa, Masanosuke, Hirota, Yukinori

Transduction by Plkc of drug-resistance markers of the factor R213 was shown to occur at an exceptionally low frequency (at less than 10−8 of the input phage), and they could not be transduced by...

Lindahl, Gunnar, Hirota, Yukinori, Jacob, François

The temperature-sensitive mutant CRT46 of Escherichia coli K12 is unable to initiate new rounds of DNA replication at 42°C. Mutants of bacteriophage P2 have been isolated, which, in the prophage...

Analysis of DNA Polymerases II and III in Mutants of Escherichia coli Thermosensitive for DNA Synthesis

Gefter, Malcolm L., Hirota, Yukinori, Kornberg, Thomas, Wechsler, James A., Barnoux, C.

A series of double mutants carrying one of the thermosensitive mutations for DNA synthesis (dnaA, B, C, D, E, F, and G) and the polA1 mutation of DeLucia and Cairns, were constructed. Enzyme...

A Mutant of Escherichia coli Defective in DNA Polymerase II Activity

Hirota, Yukinori, Gefter, Malcolm, Mindich, Leonard

A mutant of E. coli defective in DNA polymerase II activity was isolated. Extracts had about 0.1% of the normal activity of the DNA polymerase. The effect of the mutation on the ability of cells to...
