Journal ArticleDOI
Eight Calves Cloned from Somatic Cells of a Single Adult
Yoko Kato,Tetsuya Tani,Yusuke Sotomaru,Kazuo Kurokawa,Jun-ya Kato,Hiroshi Doguchi,Hiroshi Yasue,Yukio Tsunoda +7 more
TL;DR: Results show that bovine cumulus and oviductal epithelial cells of the adult have the genetic content to direct the development of newborn calves.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activation of Rac and Cdc42 video imaged by fluorescent resonance energy transfer-based single-molecule probes in the membrane of living cells
Reina E. Itoh,Kazuo Kurokawa,Yusuke Ohba,Hisayoshi Yoshizaki,Naoki Mochizuki,Michiyuki Matsuda +5 more
TL;DR: Fluorescent resonance energy transfer-based probes which monitored the local balance between the activities of guanine nucleotide exchange factors and GTPase-activating proteins for Rac1 and Cdc42 at the membrane will accelerate the analysis of the spatiotemporal regulation of Rac and CDC42 in a living cell.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatio-temporal images of growth-factor-induced activation of Ras and Rap1.
Naoki Mochizuki,Shigeko Yamashita,Kazuo Kurokawa,Yusuke Ohba,Takeharu Nagai,Atsushi Miyawaki,Michiyuki Matsuda +6 more
TL;DR: It is found that Ras at the neurites turned over rapidly; therefore, the sustained Ras activity at neurites was due to high GTP/GDP exchange rate and/or low GTPase activity, but not to the retention of the active Ras.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activity of Rho-family GTPases during cell division as visualized with FRET-based probes
Hisayoshi Yoshizaki,Yusuke Ohba,Kazuo Kurokawa,Reina E. Itoh,Takeshi Nakamura,Naoki Mochizuki,Kazuo Nagashima,Michiyuki Matsuda +7 more
TL;DR: Two types of probes are added to monitor the activity balance between guanine nucleotide exchange factors and GTPase-activating proteins to visualize the complex spatio-temporal regulation of Rho-family GTPases during cell division.
Journal ArticleDOI
Roles played by a subset of integrin signaling molecules in cadherin-based cell-cell adhesion.
Hajime Yano,Yuichi Mazaki,Kazuo Kurokawa,Steven K. Hanks,Michiyuki Matsuda,Hisataka Sabe,Hisataka Sabe +6 more
TL;DR: It is found that a subset of integrin signaling molecules, namely Fak and paxillin, but not p130 Crk-associated substrate or proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2, participate in processes regulating N-cadherin–based cell–cell adhesion.
