In cancer metastasis, various environmental stressors attack the disseminating cells. The
successful colonization of cancer cells in secondary sites therefore requires the ability of the …

The activities of the two types of starch debranching enzymes, isoamylase and pullulanase,
were greatly reduced in endosperms of allelic sugary-1 mutants of rice (Oryza sativa), with …

Four amino acids were variable between the 'active'indica-type and 'inactive'japonica-type
soluble starch synthase Ha (SSIIa) of rice plants; Glu-88 and Gly-604 in SSIIa of indica …

Abstract Haem oxygenase (HO)-1/carbon monoxide (CO) protects cancer cells from
oxidative stress, but the gas-responsive signalling mechanisms remain unknown. Here we …

This is the first report on regulation of the isoamylase1 gene to modify the structure of
amylopectin and properties of starch by using antisense technology in plants. The reduction …

In comparison with the amino acid sequences of seven species of glucosyltransferases and
six species of galactosyltransferases, glutamine and histidine are highly conserved as the …

The biochemical lesion of the sugary‐1 mutation was examined in five different mutants of
rice with varying phenotypes but with mutations at the same locus. The cells in the inner part …

Starch debranching enzyme (DBE)-deficient, sugary-1 mutations of rice caused the
biosynthesis of more highly branched α-glucan in the form of phytoglycogen and sugary …

Amyloplast‐targeted green fluorescent protein (GFP) was used to monitor amyloplast
division and starch granule synthesis in the developing endosperm of transgenic rice. Two …

Isoamylase (EC 3.2. 1.68) in rice (Oryza sativa L.) was efficiently purified within a day to
homogeneity, as confirmed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis …
