C-Nap1, a novel centrosomal coiled-coil protein and candidate substrate of the cell cycle–regulated protein kinase Nek2

…, T Mayor, P Meraldi, YD Stierhof, K Tanaka… - The Journal of cell …, 1998 - rupress.org
Nek2 (for NIMA-related kinase 2) is a mammalian cell cycle–regulated kinase structurally
related to the mitotic regulator NIMA of Aspergillus nidulans. In human cells, Nek2 associates …

Selective elimination of messenger RNA prevents an incidence of untimely meiosis

Y Harigaya, H Tanaka, S Yamanaka, K Tanaka… - Nature, 2006 - nature.com
Much remains unknown about the molecular regulation of meiosis. Here we show that
meiosis-specific transcripts are selectively removed if expressed during vegetative growth in …

The centrosomal protein C-Nap1 is required for cell cycle–regulated centrosome cohesion

T Mayor, YD Stierhof, K Tanaka, AM Fry… - The Journal of cell …, 2000 - rupress.org
Duplicating centrosomes are paired during interphase, but are separated at the onset of
mitosis. Although the mechanisms controlling centrosome cohesion and separation are …

[HTML][HTML] The role of Plo1 kinase in mitotic commitment and septation in Schizosaccharomyces pombe

K Tanaka, J Petersen, F MacIver, DP Mulvihill… - The EMBO …, 2001 - embopress.org
Plo1‐associated casein kinase activity peaked during mitosis before septation. Phosphatase
treatment abolished this activity. Mitotic Plo1 activation had a requirement for prior …

Fission yeast autophagy induced by nitrogen starvation generates a nitrogen source that drives adaptation processes

TA Kohda, K Tanaka, M Konomi, M Sato… - Genes to …, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
Autophagy is a conserved bulk protein degradation process that is proposed to play a role
in events that arise when organisms are forced to radically change their fate, including …

Androgens modulate the morphological characteristics of human endometrial stromal cells decidualized in vitro

T Kajihara, K Tanaka, T Oguro, H Tochigi… - Reproductive …, 2014 - journals.sagepub.com
The activated androgen receptor (AR) in decidualizing human endometrial stromal cells (HESCs)
regulates genes involved in cytoskeletal organization, cell motility, and cell cycle …

Schizosaccharomyces pombe map3+ Encodes the Putative M-Factor Receptor

K Tanaka, J Davey, Y Imai… - Molecular and cellular …, 1993 - Taylor & Francis
A defect in the map3 gene of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe causes h +
mating-type-specific sterility. This gene was cloned by complementation. Nucleotide sequence …

K Hirota, K Tanaka, K Ohta… - Molecular biology of the …, 2003 - Am Soc Cell Biol
Fission yeast Cdc42p, a small GTPase of the Rho family, is essential for cell proliferation and
maintenance of the rod-like cell morphology. Scd1/Ral1p is a GDP-GTP exchange factor (…

Disruption of the murine intestinal alkaline phosphatase gene Akp3 impairs lipid transcytosis and induces visceral fat accumulation and hepatic steatosis

…, K Nakamura, S Narisawa, K Tanaka… - American Journal …, 2007 - journals.physiology.org
Intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP) is involved in the process of fat absorption, a conclusion
confirmed by an altered lipid transport and a faster body weight gain from 10 to 30 wk in …

Ultrastructural analysis of the paranodal junction of myelinated fibers in 31‐month‐old‐rats

I Sugiyama, K Tanaka, M Akita… - Journal of …, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
Recent studies have revealed a significant decrease in white matter volume, including loss
of myelin, with age but minimal decrease in gray matter volume (Guttmann et al.,[1998] …
