Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of a gene conferring resistance to zinc and cadmium ions in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
TL;DR: A DNA fragment conferring resistance to zinc and cadmium ions in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was isolated from a library of yeast genomic DNA and named the ZRC1 (zinc resistance conferring) gene, indicating the ORF is required for resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular cloning of a new class of cartilage-specific matrix, chondromodulin-I, which stimulates growth of cultured chondrocytes.
TL;DR: Bovine chondromodulin-I cDNA revealed that the mature protein consists of 121 amino acids with three possible glycosylation sites and is coded as the C-terminal part of a larger precursor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation of Zn2+ as an Endogenous Agonist of GPR39 from Fetal Bovine Serum
Shin-ichiro Yasuda,Takahiro Miyazaki,Kouji Munechika,Masami Yamashita,Ikeda Yoshitaka,Akihito Kamizono +5 more
TL;DR: This study is the first exploration of G PR39 agonists in FBS and indicates that GPR39 functions as a Gq-coupled Zn2 +-sensing receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Novel Growth-Promoting Factor Derived from Fetal Bovine Cartilage, Chondromodulin II: PURIFICATION AND AMINO ACID SEQUENCE
Yuji Hiraki,Hiroyuki Inoue,Jun Kondo,Akihito Kamizono,Yoshino Yoshitake,Chisa Shukunami,Fujio Suzuki +6 more
TL;DR: A novel growth-promoting component, chondromodulin II, which has a lower heparin affinity, is isolated from the dissociative extracts of fetal bovine epiphyseal cartilage, suggesting that the growth and differentiation of chondrocytes are regulated by multiple components in the cartilage matrix.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular cloning of mouse and bovine chondromodulin-II cDNAs and the growth-promoting actions of bovine recombinant protein
Chisa Shukunami,Jun Kondo,Hiromichi Wakai,Kazuhiro Takahashi,Hiroyuki Inoue,Akihito Kamizono,Yuji Hiraki +6 more
TL;DR: The nucleotide sequences of bovine and mouse ChM-II cDNAs each contained an open-reading frame corresponding to the chondromodulin-II precursor with 151 amino acid residues, indicating that chondrocytes and osteoblasts were encoded as a gene product distinct from MIM-1.
