Toshio Hirano,Kiyoshi Yasukawa,Hisashi Harada,Tetsuya Taga,Yasuo Watanabe,Tadashi Matsuda,Shin-ichiro Kashiwamura,Koichi Nakajima,Koichi Koyama,Akihiro Iwamatsu,Susumu Tsunasawa,Fumio Sakiyama,Hiroshi Matsui,Yoshiyuki Takahara,Tadatsugu Taniguchi,Tadamitsu Kishimoto +15 more
TL;DR: The molecular cloning, structural analysis and functional expression of the cDNA encoding human B SF-2 indicated that BSF-2 is functionally and structurally unlike other known proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Further studies on the site-specific protein modification by microbial transglutaminase.
TL;DR: The results of this study expand the applicability of the TGase-catalyzed methodology for the preparation of protein conjugates for clinical use.
Patent
Modification of peptide and protein
TL;DR: In this paper, a process for modifying a physiologically active peptide or a protein which comprises reacting a peptide having at least a glutamine residue with a substance having an amino donor in the presence of a transglutaminase originating in a microorganism is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
High yield refolding and purification process for recombinant human interleukin‐6 expressed in Escherichia coli
TL;DR: Refolding and purification of recombinant human interleukin-6, a pleiotropic cytokine containing two intramolecular disulfide bonds, seem to be appropriate for the commercial scale production of hIL-6 for therapeutic use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gene transfer into hepatoma cells mediated by galactose-modified α-helical peptides
Takuro Niidome,Mamiko Urakawa,Haruya Sato,Yoshiyuki Takahara,Toyoaki Anai,Tomomitsu Hatakayama,Akihiro Wada,Toshiya Hirayama,Haruhiko Aoyagi +8 more
TL;DR: It was suggested that the translocation of the peptide-DNA complex from the endocytic compartments to the cytosol mainly occurred during an early endosome step, which could confirm that the internalization of the galactose-modified peptides occurred by the receptor-mediated endocytosis pathway.
