Journal ArticleDOI
Complete genome sequence of the alkaliphilic bacterium Bacillus halodurans and genomic sequence comparison with Bacillus subtilis
Hideto Takami,Kaoru Nakasone,Yoshihiro Takaki,Go Maeno,Rumie Sasaki,Noriaki Masui,Fumie Fuji,Chie Hirama,Yuka Nakamura,Naotake Ogasawara,Satoru Kuhara,Koki Horikoshi +11 more
TL;DR: Out of 11 sigma factors which belong to the extracytoplasmic function family, 10 are unique to B. halodurans, suggesting that they may have a role in the special mechanism of adaptation to an alkaline environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phage conversion of exfoliative toxin A production in Staphylococcus aureus.
Takayuki Yamaguchi,Tetsuya Hayashi,Hideto Takami,Kaoru Nakasone,Makoto Ohnishi,Keisuke Nakayama,Sakuo Yamada,Hitoshi Komatsuzawa,Motoyuki Sugai +8 more
TL;DR: A temperate phage that encodes ETA is isolated and the complete nucleotide sequence of the φETA genome is determined, which suggests that the eta gene is acquired by horizontal gene transfer in S. aureus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of carotenoids from the extremely halophilic archaeon Haloarcula japonica
Rie Yatsunami,Ai Ando,Ying Yang,Shinichi Takaichi,Masahiro Kohno,Yuriko Matsumura,Hiroshi Ikeda,Toshiaki Fukui,Kaoru Nakasone,Nobuyuki Fujita,Mitsuo Sekine,Tomonori Takashina,Satoshi Nakamura +12 more
TL;DR: The in vitro scavenging capacity of a carotenoid, bacterioruberin, extracted from Haloarcula japonica cells against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals was evaluated and was much higher than that of β -carotene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular cloning and functional characterization of α-humulene synthase, a possible key enzyme of zerumbone biosynthesis in shampoo ginger (Zingiber zerumbet Smith)
Fengnian Yu,Sho Okamto,Kaoru Nakasone,Kyoko Adachi,Satoru Matsuda,Hisashi Harada,Norihiko Misawa,Ryutaro Utsumi +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a cDNA clone encoding α-humulene synthase, a possible key enzyme of zerumbone biosynthesis, was reported, with an open reading frame of 1,644 bp and a calculated molecular mass of 64.5 kDa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of hydrostatic pressure effects on transcription in Escherichia coli by DNA microarray procedure.
Akihiro Ishii,Akihiro Ishii,Akihiro Ishii,Taku Oshima,Takako Sato,Kaoru Nakasone,Hirotada Mori,Chiaki Kato,Chiaki Kato +8 more
TL;DR: DNA microarray analysis of the entire E. coli genome suggested that the H-NS protein was a possible transcriptional regulator for adaptation of the high-pressure stress.
