Functional proteomic screens reveal an essential extracellular role for hsp90α in cancer cell invasiveness

BK Eustace, T Sakurai, JK Stewart, D Yimlamai… - Nature cell …, 2004 - nature.com
Tumour cell invasiveness is crucial for cancer metastasis and is not yet understood. Here we
describe two functional screens for proteins required for the invasion of fibrosarcoma cells …

Observations of X-ray jets using Yohkoh soft X-ray telescope

…, S Tsuneta, T Shimizu, H Hara, T Sakurai… - International …, 1993 - cambridge.org
Time series of SXT (Soft X-ray Telescope) images have revealed many jet-like features in the
solar corona. Typical size of the “jet” is 5 × 103 – 4 × 105 km, the typical projected velocity …

Immunochemical identification and subcellular distribution of the alpha 1A subunits of brain calcium channels

RE Westenbroek, T Sakurai, EM Elliott… - Journal of …, 1995 - Soc Neuroscience
A site-directed anti-peptide antibody (anti-CNA1) directed against the alpha 1 subunit of

[HTML][HTML] Association of γ-secretase with lipid rafts in post-Golgi and endosome membranes

KS Vetrivel, H Cheng, W Lin, T Sakurai, T Li… - Journal of Biological …, 2004 - ASBMB
Alzheimer's disease-associated β-amyloid peptides (Aβ) are generated by the sequential
proteolytic processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) by β- and γ-secretases. There is …

Chromogranin-mediated secretion of mutant superoxide dismutase proteins linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

M Urushitani, A Sik, T Sakurai, N Nukina… - Nature …, 2006 - nature.com
Here we report that chromogranins, components of neurosecretory vesicles, interact with
mutant forms of superoxide dismutase (SOD1) that are linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (…

Preprocessing of vector magnetograph data for a nonlinear force-free magnetic field reconstruction

T Wiegelmann, B Inhester, T Sakurai - Solar Physics, 2006 - Springer
Abstract Knowledge regarding the coronal magnetic field is important for the understanding
of many phenomena, like flares and coronal mass ejections. Because of the low plasma beta …

Molecular basis of the shish-kebab morphology in polymer crystallization

S Kimata, T Sakurai, Y Nozue, T Kasahara… - Science, 2007 - science.org
In the rich and long-standing literature on the flow-induced formation of oriented precursors
to polymer crystallization, it is often asserted that the longest, most extended chains are the …

[HTML][HTML] Solar force-free magnetic fields

T Wiegelmann, T Sakurai - Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2021 - Springer
The structure and dynamics of the solar corona is dominated by the magnetic field. In most
areas in the corona magnetic forces are so dominant that all non-magnetic forces such as …

[HTML][HTML] β Subunits of voltage-gated sodium channels are novel substrates of β-site amyloid precursor protein-cleaving enzyme (BACE1) and γ-secretase

HK Wong, T Sakurai, F Oyama, K Kaneko… - Journal of Biological …, 2005 - ASBMB
Sequential processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) by membrane-bound proteases,
BACE1 and γ-secretase, plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease. Much …
