Journal ArticleDOI
The Phototropin Family of Photoreceptors
Winslow R. Briggs,Christoph F. Beck,Anthony R. Cashmore,John M. Christie,Jon Hughes,Jose A. Jarillo,Takatoshi Kagawa,Hiromi Kanegae,Emmanuel Liscum,Akira Nagatani,Kiyotaka Okada,Michael Salomon,Wolfhart Rüdiger,Tatsuya Sakai,Makoto Takano,Masamitsu Wada,J.C. Watson +16 more
TL;DR: The past decade has seen dramatic advances in knowledge of plant photoreceptors and in the understanding of the signal transduction pathways that they activate, and a major part of these advances has been the identification and characterization of photoreceptor types that are now understood.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distinct and Cooperative Functions of Phytochromes A, B, and C in the Control of Deetiolation and Flowering in Rice
Makoto Takano,Noritoshi Inagaki,Xianzhi Xie,Natsu Yuzurihara,Fukiko Hihara,Toru Ishizuka,Masahiro Yano,Minoru Nishimura,Akio Miyao,Hirohiko Hirochika,Tomoko Shinomura +10 more
TL;DR: Rice is a short-day plant, and it is found that mutation in either phyB or phyC caused moderate early flowering under the long-day photoperiod, while monogenic phyA mutation had little effect on the flowering time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Characterization of the Hyperpolarization-activated Cation Channel in Rabbit Heart Sinoatrial Node
TL;DR: Results indicate that HAC4 formsI f in rabbit heart SA node, which encodes the hyperpolarization-activated cation channel (I for I h) by screening a rabbit sinoatrial node cDNA library using a fragment of rat brain cDNA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photochemical properties of the flavin mononucleotide-binding domains of the phototropins from Arabidopsis, rice, and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
Masahiro Kasahara,Trevor E. Swartz,Margaret A. Olney,Akihiko Onodera,Nobuyoshi Mochizuki,Hideya Fukuzawa,Erika Asamizu,Satoshi Tabata,Hiromi Kanegae,Makoto Takano,John M. Christie,Akira Nagatani,Winslow R. Briggs +12 more
TL;DR: The phototropin family extends over a wide evolutionary range from unicellular algae to higher plants, and the LOV domains of phot1 differ from those of phot2 in their reaction kinetic properties and relative quantum efficiencies.
Journal ArticleDOI
NRSF regulates the fetal cardiac gene program and maintains normal cardiac structure and function
Koichiro Kuwahara,Yoshihiko Saito,Makoto Takano,Yuji Arai,Shinji Yasuno,Yasuaki Nakagawa,Nobuki Takahashi,Yuichiro Adachi,Genzo Takemura,Minoru Horie,Yoshihiro Miyamoto,Takayuki Morisaki,Shinobu Kuratomi,Akinori Noma,Hisayoshi Fujiwara,Yasunao Yoshimasa,Hideyuki Kinoshita,Rika Kawakami,Ichiro Kishimoto,Michio Nakanishi,Satoru Usami,Y. Saito,Masaki Harada,Kazuwa Nakao +23 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that genes encoding two ion channels that carry the fetal cardiac currents If and ICa,T, which are induced in these mice and are potentially responsible for both the cardiac dysfunction and the arrhythmogenesis, are regulated by NRSF.
