Journal ArticleDOI

Mineo Iseki,Shigeru Matsunaga,Akio Murakami,Kaoru Ohno,Kiyoshi Shiga,Kazuichi Yoshida,Michizo Sugai,Tetsuo Takahashi,Terumitsu Hori,Masakatsu Watanabe,Masakatsu Watanabe +10 more
TL;DR: A new type of blue-light receptor flavoprotein, photoactivated adenylyl cyclase, is found in the photoreceptor organelle of Euglena gracilis, with molecular genetic evidence that it mediates the step-up photophobic response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Archaeal-type rhodopsins in Chlamydomonas: model structure and intracellular localization.
Takeshi Suzuki,Kenta Yamasaki,Satoshi Fujita,Kazushi Oda,Mineo Iseki,Kazuichi Yoshida,Masakatsu Watanabe,Hiromi Daiyasu,Hiroyuki Toh,Eriko Asamizu,Satoshi Tabata,Kenji Miura,Hideya Fukuzawa,Shogo Nakamura,Tetsuo Takahashi +14 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that one rhodopsin is located near the eyespot, wherein the photoreceptor(s) has long been thought to be enriched, along with the results of bioinformatic analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification and characterization of a fluorescent flagellar protein from the brown alga Scytosiphon lomentaria (Scytosiphonales, Phaeophyceae): A flavoprotein homologous to Old Yellow Enzyme
Satoshi Fujita,Mineo Iseki,Shinya Yoshikawa,Yumiko Makino,Masakatsu Watanabe,Taizo Motomura,Hiroshi Kawai,Akio Murakami +7 more
TL;DR: Spectrofluorometric and chromatographic analyses showed that the flavoprotein had an apparent molecular mass of 41 kDa and a non-covalently bound flavin mononucleotide as a chromophore and was homologous to that of the Old Yellow Enzyme family distributed in proteobacteria, yeasts and vascular plants.
Book ChapterDOI
Discovery and Characterization of Photoactivated Adenylyl Cyclase (PAC), a Novel Blue‐Light Receptor Flavoprotein, from Euglena gracilis
Book ChapterDOI
Phototaxis Photoreceptor in Euglena gracilis
TL;DR: The photosynthetic, unicellular flagellate Euglena gracilis primarily uses light and gravity for its motile responses controlled by external stimuli.
