Journal ArticleDOI
Hepatitis C virus particle detected by immunoelectron microscopic study
Masahiko Kaito,Shozo Watanabe,Kyoko Tsukiyama-Kohara,Kenjiro Yamaguchi,Yoshinao Kobayashi,Masayoshi Konishi,Masato Yokoi,Satoshi Ishida,Shiro Suzuki,Michinori Kohara +9 more
TL;DR: To clarify the morphology of hepatitis C virus (HCV), an indirect immunogold electron microscopic study was carried out on two plasma samples with high HCV RNA titres using polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies specific to the putative HCV envelope protein.
Journal ArticleDOI
The cellulose synthase gene superfamily and biochemical functions of xylem-specific cellulose synthase-like genes in Populus trichocarpa.
TL;DR: Using Populus trichocarpa as a model angiosperm tree, a systematic analysis in various tissues of the absolute transcript copy numbers of cellulose synthase superfamily genes, the cellulose synthetase (CesA) and the hemicellulose-related cellulOSE synthase-like (Csl) genes is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biosynthesis of lignans and norlignans
Shiro Suzuki,Toshiaki Umezawa +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors outline the recent advances in the study of lignan and norlignan biosynthesis and present a model for biomimetic chemistry and its application.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-throughput determination of thioglycolic acid lignin from rice
Shiro Suzuki,Yoshie Suzuki,Naoki Yamamoto,Takefumi Hattori,Masahiro Sakamoto,Toshiaki Umezawa +5 more
TL;DR: A straightforward, high-throughput method as thioglycolic acid lignin from rice straw using disposable plastic microtubes, TissueLyser, and a UV microplate reader is described, confirming that 20 mg of dried material from rice plants is adequate for stable determination of the lignIn content.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of Arabidopsis thaliana pinoresinol reductase, a new type of enzyme involved in lignan biosynthesis.
TL;DR: It was demonstrated conclusively for the first time that differential expression of PrR isoforms that have distinct selectivities of substrate enantiomers can determine enantiomeric compositions of the product, lariciresinol.
