Regulation of gene expression is fundamental for cellular function. Upon manipulation of
the mechanism of gene expression in Escherichia coli, various bioproducts have been …

… Tomo Kondo performed all of the experiments except for the generation of Wt-MRLC–…
Tomo Kondo and Hiroshi Hosoya. Makiko Morita helped with the analysis of FRAP results. …

We previously showed that insertion of Dictyostelium gene sequences, such as mlcR,
upstream of the Shine–Dalgarno sequence, positively impacts downstream gene expression in …

Cyclic guanosine 3′,5′-monophosphate (cGMP) is a ubiquitous important second
messenger involved in various physiological functions. Here, intracellular cGMP (cGMPi) was …

The intracellular positioning of the centrosome, a major microtubule-organizing center, is
important for cellular functions. One of the features of centrosome positioning is the spacing …

The centrosome is a major microtubule-organizing center in animal cells. The intracellular
positioning of the centrosomes is important for proper cellular function. One of the features of …

Cytokinesis D is known as the midwife mechanism in which neighboring cells facilitate cell
division by crossing the cleavage furrow of dividing cells. Cytokinesis D is thought to be …

The anaphase-promoting complex (APC) is a major regulator of chromosome segregation
and is implicated in centriole engagement, whose de-regulation causes abnormal number of …

Myosin II is activated by the monophosphorylation of its regulatory light chain (MRLC) at Ser19
(1P-MRLC). Its ATPase activity is further enhanced by MRLC diphosphorylation at Thr18/…

Excessive centrosomes often lead to multipolar spindles, and thus probably to multipolar
mitosis and aneuploidy. In Caenorhabditis elegans, ∼70% of the paternal emb-27 APC6 …
