Higher FIB-4 index at baseline predicts development of liver cancer in a community-based cohort with viral hepatitis Open

Makiko Kimura, Tomoki Nishikawa, Tetsuro Shimakami, Takeshi Terashima, Rika Horii , et al. · 2024

Hepatitis B and C (HBV and HCV) testing has been performed in Japan since 2002 and is subsidized by central and prefectural governments. A follow-up program for HBV- or HCV-infected persons was started at that time in Ishikawa Prefecture. …

Agrobacterium-mediated Transformation of Japonica Rice Using Mature Embryos and Regenerated Transgenic Plants Open

Ammar Elakhdar, M Fukuda, Takahiko Kubo · 2021

Identification of novel genes and their functions in rice is a critical step to improve economic traits. Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation is a proven method in many laboratories and widely adopted for genetic engine…

Zipcode RNA-Binding Proteins and Membrane Trafficking Proteins Cooperate to Transport Glutelin mRNAs in Rice Endosperm Open

Li Tian, Kelly A. Doroshenk, Laining Zhang, M Fukuda, Haruhiko Washida , et al. · 2020

In rice (Oryza sativa) endosperm cells, mRNAs encoding glutelin and prolamine are translated on distinct cortical-endoplasmic reticulum (ER) subdomains (the cisternal-ER and protein body-ER), a process that facilitates targeting of …

mRNA Localization in Plant Cells Open

Li Tian, Hong‐Li Chou, M Fukuda, Toshihiro Kumamaru, Thomas W. Okita · 2019

Localization of mRNAs at the subcellular level is an essential mechanism for specific protein targeting and local control of protein synthesis in both eukaryotes and bacteria. While mRNA localization is well documented in metazoans, somati…

Regulation of intracellular transport of the glutelin in the rice endosperm cell Open

M Fukuda, Toshihiro Kumamaru · 2019

コメにはデンプンのみならず，約7～8％の貯蔵タンパク質が含まれている．コメ貯蔵タンパク質は溶媒溶解性の違いによってグルテリン，プロラミン，グロブリンの3種類に分類され，これらは澱粉性胚乳に存在する2種のプロテインボディ（PB）に蓄積されている．グルテリンとグロブリンは液胞由来のII型プロテインボディ（PBII）に，一方プロラミンは小胞体由来のI型プロテインボディ（PBI）にそれぞれ蓄積されている．コメ貯蔵タンパク質は日本酒の醸造特性やコメの製パン特性等に大きく寄与することか…

Cytological and Ultrastructural Findings of Mucinous Tubular and Spindle Cell Carcinoma: A Case Report Open

Mami Takahashi, M Fukuda, Munehiro Yamada, Kazuhiko Yuzawa, Mark T. Yoshino , et al. · 2019

The 2016 World Health Organization Classification of Tumors recognized mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma (MTSCC) as a rare histological variant of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). To date, a limited number of studies have reported thi…

Chloroplast Accumulation Response Enhances Leaf Photosynthesis and Plant Biomass Production Open

Eiji Gotoh, Noriyuki Suetsugu, Wataru Yamori, Kazuhiro Ishishita, Ryota Kiyabu , et al. · 2018

Under high light intensity, chloroplasts avoid absorbing excess light by moving to anticlinal cell walls (avoidance response), but under low light intensity, chloroplasts accumulate along periclinal cell walls (accumulation response). In m…

Selective sets of mRNAs localize to extracellular paramural bodies in a rice glup6 mutant Open

Yongil Yang, Hong‐Li Chou, Andrew J. Crofts, Laining Zhang, Li Tian , et al. · 2018

The transport of rice glutelin storage proteins to the storage vacuoles requires the Rab5 GTPase and its related guanine nucleotide exchange factor (Rab5-GEF). Loss of function of these membrane vesicular trafficking factors results in the…

A conserved motif is essential for the correct assembly of proglutelins and for their export from the endoplasmic reticulum in rice endosperm Open

Lihong Tian, Yanping Xing, M Fukuda, Rong Li, Toshihiro Kumamaru , et al. · 2018

Rice glutelins are initially synthesized as 57-kDa precursors at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and are ultimately transported into protein storage vacuoles. However, the sequence motifs that affect proglutelin folding, assembly, and their…

The Dual Roles of the Golgi Transport 1 (GOT1B): RNA Localization to the Cortical Endoplasmic Reticulum and the Export of Proglutelin and α-Globulin from the Cortical ER to the Golgi Open

M Fukuda, Yasushi Kawagoe, Takahiro Murakami, Haruhiko Washida, Aya Sugino , et al. · 2016

The rice glup2 lines are characterized by their abnormally high levels of endosperm 57 kDa proglutelins and of the luminal chaperone binding protein (BiP), features characteristic of a defect within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). To eluci…

Deficiency of Starch Synthase IIIa and IVb Alters Starch Granule Morphology from Polyhedral to Spherical in Rice Endosperm Open

Yoshiko Toyosawa, Yasushi Kawagoe, Ryo Matsushima, Naoko Crofts, Masahiro Ogawa , et al. · 2016

Starch granule morphology differs markedly among plant species. However, the mechanisms controlling starch granule morphology have not been elucidated. Rice (Oryza sativa) endosperm produces characteristic compound-type granules containing…

Guanine nucleotide exchange factor 2 for Rab5 proteins coordinated with GLUP6/GEF regulates the intracellular transport of the proglutelin from the Golgi apparatus to the protein storage vacuole in rice endosperm Open

Liuying Wen, M Fukuda, Mariko Sunada, Sonoko Ishino, Yoshizumi Ishino , et al. · 2015

Rice glutelin polypeptides are initially synthesized on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane as a proglutelin, which are then transported to the protein storage vacuole (PSV) via the Golgi apparatus. Rab5 and its cognate activator guani…
