TL;DR: Investigation of many newly identified gene products, including the 70 putative virulence factors, will greatly improve the understanding of the biology of staphylococci and the processes of infectious diseases caused by S aureus.
Journal ArticleDOI
A protein secretion system linked to bacteroidete gliding motility and pathogenesis
Keiko Sato,Mariko Naito,Hideharu Yukitake,Hideki Hirakawa,Mikio Shoji,Mark J. McBride,Ryan G. Rhodes,Koji Nakayama +7 more
TL;DR: Real-time RT-PCR analysis revealed that porK, porL, porM, porN, porP, porT, and sov were down-regulated in P. gingivalis porX and porY mutants, providing a link between a unique protein translocation system and a motility apparatus in members of the Bacteroidetes phylum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Whole genome sequence of Staphylococcus saprophyticus reveals the pathogenesis of uncomplicated urinary tract infection
Makoto Kuroda,Atsushi Yamashita,Hideki Hirakawa,Miyuki Kumano,Kazuya Morikawa,Masato Higashide,Atsushi Maruyama,Yumiko Inose,Kimio Matoba,Hidehiro Toh,Satoru Kuhara,Masahira Hattori,Toshiko Ohta +12 more
TL;DR: The uropathogenicity of S. saprophyticus can be attributed to its genome that is needed for its survival in the human urinary tract by means of novel cell wall-anchored adhesin and redundant uro-adaptive transport systems, together with urease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dissection of the Octoploid Strawberry Genome by Deep Sequencing of the Genomes of Fragaria Species
Hideki Hirakawa,Kenta Shirasawa,Shunichi Kosugi,Kosuke Tashiro,Shinobu Nakayama,Manabu Yamada,Mistuyo Kohara,Akiko Watanabe,Yoshie Kishida,Tsunakazu Fujishiro,Hisano Tsuruoka,Chiharu Minami,Shigemi Sasamoto,Midori Kato,Keiko Nanri,Akiko Komaki,Tomohiro Yanagi,Qin Guoxin,Fumi Maeda,Masami Ishikawa,Satoru Kuhara,Shusei Sato,Satoshi Tabata,Sachiko Isobe +23 more
TL;DR: The strategy adopted in this study has turned out to be successful in dissecting the genome of octoploid F. x ananassa and appears promising when applied to the analysis of other polyploid plant species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of whole genome sequences of Chlamydia pneumoniae J138 from Japan and CWL029 from USA
Mutsunori Shirai,Hideki Hirakawa,Mitsuaki Kimoto,Mitsuaki Tabuchi,Fumio Kishi,Kazunobu Ouchi,Tadayoshi Shiba,Kazuo Ishii,Masahira Hattori,Satoru Kuhara,Teruko Nakazawa +10 more
TL;DR: The overall genomic organization, gene order and predicted proteomes of the two strains are very similar, suggesting a high level of structural and functional conservation between the two unrelated isolates.
