Fueki S, Kaneko T, Matsuki H, Hashimoto Y, Yoshida M, Isu A, et al.
Cytoskeleton (Hoboken) . 2024 Mar; 81(11):578-585. PMID: 38426808
Temperature is a critical factor for living organisms. Many microorganisms migrate toward preferable temperatures, and this behavior is called thermotaxis. In this study, the molecular and physiological bases for thermotaxis...

Oshima D, Yoshida M, Saga K, Ito N, Tsuji M, Isu A, et al.
iScience . 2023 Oct; 26(10):107926. PMID: 37790279
Cilia are organelles involved in motility and sensory transduction, but how these two functions coexist has not been elucidated in depth. Here, the involvement of the ciliary transient receptor potential...

Nelson G, Strain A, Isu A, Rahnama A, Wakabayashi K, Melvin A, et al.
Sci Rep . 2023 Jul; 13(1):10781. PMID: 37402785
The mechanisms governing chemotaxis in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii are largely unknown compared to those regulating phototaxis despite equal importance on the migratory response in the ciliated microalga. To study chemotaxis, we...

Ueki N, Isu A, Wakabayashi K
J Vis Exp . 2022 May; (183). PMID: 35604171
Since the historical experiment on the contraction of glycerinated muscle by adding ATP, which Szent-Györgyi demonstrated in the mid-20th century, in vitro reactivation of demembranated cells has been a traditional...

Ueki N, Isu A, Kyuji A, Asahina Y, So S, Takahashi R, et al.
J Vis Exp . 2022 May; (183). PMID: 35604154
For the survival of the motile phototrophic microorganisms, being under proper light conditions is crucial. Consequently, they show photo-induced behaviors (or photobehavior) and alter their direction of movement in response...

Wakabayashi K, Isu A, Ueki N
Adv Exp Med Biol . 2021 Jan; 1293:21-33. PMID: 33398805
Channelrhodopsins (ChRs) are the light-gated ion channels that have opened the research field of optogenetics. They were originally identified in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a biciliated unicellular alga that...

Kondo K, Takeyama Y, Sunamura E, Madoka Y, Fukaya Y, Isu A, et al.
Biochim Biophys Acta Bioenerg . 2018 Feb; 1859(5):319-325. PMID: 29470949
F is a soluble part of FF-ATP synthase and performs a catalytic process of ATP hydrolysis and synthesis. The γ subunit, which is the rotary shaft of F motor, is...

Higo A, Isu A, Fukaya Y, Ehira S, Hisabori T
Plant Cell Physiol . 2017 Nov; 59(1):119-127. PMID: 29112727
Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 (A. 7120) is a heterocyst-forming multicellular cyanobacterium that performs nitrogen fixation. This cyanobacterium has been extensively studied as a model for multicellularity in prokaryotic cells. We...

Higo A, Isu A, Fukaya Y, Hisabori T
Plant Cell Physiol . 2017 Nov; 59(1):82-89. PMID: 29088489
In the last decade, much progress has been made in the photosynthetic production of valuable products using unicellular cyanobacteria. However, production of some products requires dark, anaerobic incubation, which prevents...

Higo A, Isu A, Fukaya Y, Hisabori T
ACS Synth Biol . 2016 Sep; 6(1):55-61. PMID: 27636301
In recent years, studies on the development of gene regulation tools in cyanobacteria have been extensively conducted toward efficient production of valuable chemicals. However, there is considerable scope for improving...
