Protein expression and purification 87(1) 5-10 2013年1月 [査読有り]
Many biologically important factors are composed of multiple subunits. To study the structure and function of the protein complexes and the role of each subunit, a rapid and efficient method to prepare recombinant protein complexes is needed. In t...

The eukaryotic cytosolic chaperonin CCT (chaperonin-containing TCP-1) assists folding of newly synthesized polypeptides. The fully functional CCT is built from two identical rings, each composed of single copies of eight distinct subunits. To stud...
Virus particles are used in vaccination, drug delivery, and material sciences. Here we devised a system where the RNA virus encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) is synthesized from DNA templates in vitro. When a plasmid or a PCR product harboring the...

To study the relationship between translation and replication of encephalomyocarditisvirus (EMCV) RNA, we established a cell-free RNA replication system by employing a human cell extracts-based in vitro translation system. In this system, a cis-EM...
Aeropyrum pernix K1, an aerobic hyperthermophilic archaeon, produces a cambialistic superoxide dismutase that is active in the presence of either of Mn or Fe. The crystal structures of the superoxide dismutase from A. pernix in the apo, Mn-bound a...
