Journal ArticleDOI

Structural basis for the spectral difference in luciferase bioluminescence.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the degree of molecular rigidity of the excited state of oxyluciferin, which is controlled by a transient movement of Ile 288, determines the colour of bioluminescence during the emission reaction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sensitive β-galactosidase-targeting fluorescence probe for visualizing small peritoneal metastatic tumours in vivo

TL;DR: The results clearly indicate preclinical potential value of the probe for fluorescence-guided diagnosis of peritoneal metastases from ovarian cancers and endoscopic fluorescence detection of metastases is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular Cloning and Characterization of Bifidobacterium bifidum 1,2-α-l-Fucosidase (AfcA), a Novel Inverting Glycosidase (Glycoside Hydrolase Family 95)

TL;DR: It was revealed that the AfcA protein constitutes a novel inverting GH family (GH family 95) and exhibited no similarity to those of any glycoside hydrolases (GHs) but showed high similarity to several hypothetical proteins in a database.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural basis for gating mechanisms of a eukaryotic P-glycoprotein homolog

TL;DR: The high-resolution crystal structures of a eukaryotic P-glycoprotein homolog are determined and revealed the detailed architecture of its transmembrane domains, which contain an exit gate for substrates that opens to the extracellular side and two entrance gates that open to the intramembranous region and the cytosolic side.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification and Molecular Cloning of a Novel Glycoside Hydrolase Family of Core 1 Type O-Glycan-specific Endo-α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase from Bifidobacterium longum

TL;DR: This is the first report for the isolation of a gene encoding endo-α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase from any organisms and for the establishment of a new glycoside hydrolase family (GH family 101).
