Journal ArticleDOI
Development of series of gateway binary vectors, pGWBs, for realizing efficient construction of fusion genes for plant transformation
Tsuyoshi Nakagawa,Takayuki Kurose,Takeshi Hino,Katsunori Tanaka,Makoto Kawamukai,Yasuo Niwa,Kiminori Toyooka,Ken Matsuoka,Tetsuro Jinbo,Tetsuya Kimura +9 more
TL;DR: A new series of binary vectors useful for Gateway cloning to facilitate transgenic experiments in plant biotechnology realized efficient cloning, constitutive expression using the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter and the construction of fusion genes by simple clonase reaction with an entry clone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved Gateway binary vectors: high-performance vectors for creation of fusion constructs in transgenic analysis of plants.
Tsuyoshi Nakagawa,Takamasa Suzuki,Satoko Murata,Shinya Nakamura,Takeshi Hino,Kenichiro Maeo,Ryo Tabata,Tsutae Kawai,Katsunori Tanaka,Yasuo Niwa,Yuichiro Watanabe,Kenzo Nakamura,Tetsuya Kimura,Sumie Ishiguro +13 more
TL;DR: Improved pGWBs should be a powerful tool for transgenic research in plants because of their small size and high-copy number in Escherichia coli make possible easier handling at plasmid preparation and sequencing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mrc1 channels the DNA replication arrest signal to checkpoint kinase Cds1
Katsunori Tanaka,Paul Russell +1 more
TL;DR: A novel checkpoint gene in fission yeast, mrc1 (mediator of replication checkpoint), is described that confers activation of the checkpoint kinase Cds1 to DNA synthesis (S) phase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of a fission yeast SUMO-1 homologue, pmt3p, required for multiple nuclear events, including the control of telomere length and chromosome segregation.
Katsunori Tanaka,Junko Nishide,Koei Okazaki,Hiroaki Kato,Osami Niwa,Tsuyoshi Nakagawa,Hideyuki Matsuda,Makoto Kawamukai,Yota Murakami +8 more
TL;DR: The identification of the SUMO-1 homologue of fission yeast, which is shown to be required for a number of nuclear events including the control of telomere length and chromosome segregation, suggests that several nuclear proteins are regulated by Pmt3p conjugation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serine-345 is required for Rad3-dependent phosphorylation and function of checkpoint kinase Chk1 in fission yeast
Antonia Lopez-Girona,Katsunori Tanaka,Xiao-Bo Chen,Beth A. Baber,Clare H. McGowan,Paul Russell +5 more
TL;DR: Evidence is strengthened that transduction of the DNA damage checkpoint signal requires direct phosphorylation of Chk1 by Rad3, a protein kinase related to human ATM and ATR, and that mutations of serine-367 and other SQ/TQ sites do not substantially impair the checkpoint or cause damage sensitivity.
