Developmental expression of Pax1/9 genes in urochordate and hemichordate gills: insight into function and evolution of the pharyngeal epitheliumM Ogasawara
Department of Zoology, Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University, Sakyo ku, Kyoto 606 8502, Japan
Development 126:2539-50. 1999..The Pax1/9 genes therefore might provide the first developmental genetic corroboration of hypotheses of organ-level homology that unifies hemichordates, urochordates and cephalochordates...
Ascidian homologs of mammalian thyroid peroxidase genes are expressed in the thyroid-equivalent region of the endostyleM Ogasawara
Department of Zoology, Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University, Sakyo ku, Kyoto 606 8502, Japan
J Exp Zool 285:158-69. 1999..These results provide the first evidence at the gene expression level for shared function between a part of the ascidian endostyle and the vertebrate follicular thyroid gland. J. Exp. Zool. ( Mol. Dev. Evol. ) 285:158-169, 1999...
Overlapping expression of amphioxus homologs of the thyroid transcription factor-1 gene and thyroid peroxidase gene in the endostyle: insight into evolution of the thyroid glandM Ogasawara
Department of Zoology, Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University, Kyoto 606 8502, Japan
Dev Genes Evol 210:231-42. 2000..The coexpression of these genes in amphioxus suggests that regulation of TPO by TTF-1 was present in the common ancestor of cephalochordates (acraniates) and craniates...
Isolation and characterization of endostyle-specific genes in the ascidian Ciona intestinalisM Ogasawara
Department of Zoology, Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University, Japan
Biol Bull 195:60-9. 1998....
Large-scale cDNA analysis of the maternal genetic information in the egg of Halocynthia roretzi for a gene expression catalog of ascidian developmentK W Makabe
Department of Zoology, Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University, Kyoto 606 8502, Japan
Development 128:2555-67. 2001..9% of the clones were exclusively maternal, while 40.6% of the maternal clones showed expression in the later stages. This study provides global insights about the genes expressed during early development...
Expression patterns of musashi homologs of the ascidians, Halocynthia roretzi and Ciona intestinalisT Kawashima
Department of Zoology, Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University, Kyoto 606 8502, Japan
Dev Genes Evol 210:162-5. 2000..Ascidian musashi had three domains of zygotic expression: the brain, nerve cord, and mesenchyma. The temporal order of the onset in these domains was highly divergent between the two species of ascidian examined...
Purification and cloning of a brefeldin A-inhibited guanine nucleotide-exchange protein for ADP-ribosylation factorsA Togawa
Pulmonary Critical Care Medicine Branch, NHLBI, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland 20892, USA
J Biol Chem 274:12308-15. 1999....
Similarities in function and gene structure of cytohesin-4 and cytohesin-1, guanine nucleotide-exchange proteins for ADP-ribosylation factorsM Ogasawara
Pulmonary Critical Care Medicine Branch, NHLBI, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland 20892 1434, USA
J Biol Chem 275:3221-30. 2000..Thus, in gene structure and brefeldin A-insensitive GEP activity, cytohesin-4 resembles other cytohesins, but its tissue distribution differs considerably, consistent with a different specific function...
Molecular defect in familial lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) deficiency: a single nucleotide insertion in LCAT gene causes a complete deficient type of the diseaseH Bujo
Second Department of Internal Medicine, School of Medicine, Chiba University, Japan
Biochem Biophys Res Commun 181:933-40. 1991..These results indicate that the clinical and biochemical feature of the patient is mainly caused by a complete deficiency of the enzyme based on a homozygous abnormality of LCAT gene...
Familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in Japan associated with H46R mutation in Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase gene: a possible new subtype of familial ALSM Aoki
Department of Neurology, Tohoku, University School of Medicine, Sendai, Japan
J Neurol Sci 126:77-83. 1994..These findings suggest that the H46R mutation in Cu/Zn SOD gene is highly related to this unique subtype of FALS...
A novel point mutation in the Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase gene in a patient with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosisM Ikeda
Department of Neurology, Gunma University School of Medicine, Maebashi, Japan
Hum Mol Genet 4:491-2. 1995
The membrane-type collectin CL-P1 is a scavenger receptor on vascular endothelial cellsK Ohtani
Department of Microbiology, Asahikawa Medical College, Midorigaoka Higashi, Asahikawa 078 8510, Japan
J Biol Chem 276:44222-8. 2001..These results indicate that CL-P1 might play important roles in host defenses that are different from those of soluble collectins in innate immunity...
