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...

Tanno A, Tokutsu R, Arakaki Y, Ueki N, Minagawa J, Yoshimura K, et al.
PLoS One . 2021 Oct; 16(10):e0259138. PMID: 34699573
Photo-induced behavioral responses (photobehaviors) are crucial to the survival of motile phototrophic organisms in changing light conditions. Volvocine green algae are excellent model organisms for studying the regulatory mechanisms of...

Yoshimura K, Iida K, Iida H
Nat Commun . 2021 Oct; 12(1):6074. PMID: 34667173
Mechanosensitive (MS) ion channels respond to mechanical stress and convert it into intracellular electric and ionic signals. Five MS channel families have been identified in plants, including the Mid1-Complementing Activity...

Yoshida M, Yamamiya R, Shimizu Y, Yoshimura K
Front Pharmacol . 2020 Oct; 11:578955. PMID: 33117171
Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) channel is an ion channel whose gating is controlled by agonists, such as allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), and temperature. Since TRPA1 is associated with various...

Wada M, Kaizuka I, Yoshimura K
Biol Open . 2020 Jul; 9(7). PMID: 32641289
Pungent substances, such as capsaicin and gingerol, activate the transient receptor potential (TRP)-V1 channel and affect the feeding behaviors of animals. To gain insight into how living organisms have acquired...

Fujii Y, Suhara Y, Sukikara Y, Teshima T, Hirota Y, Yoshimura K, et al.
Molecules . 2019 Oct; 24(20). PMID: 31614668
Flavan-3-ols (FLs), specifically catechin and its oligomer B-type procyanidins, are suggested to potently bind to bovine serum albumin (BSA). We examined the interaction between BSA and FLs by fluorescence quenching...

Owada N, Yoshida M, Morita K, Yoshimura K
J Biochem . 2019 May; 166(3):281-288. PMID: 31143940
MscL is a mechanosensitive channel that undergoes a global conformational change upon application of membrane stretching. To elucidate how the structural stability and flexibility occur, we isolated temperature-sensitive (Ts) mutants...

Sekiguchi M, Kameda S, Kurosawa S, Yoshida M, Yoshimura K
Sci Rep . 2018 Nov; 8(1):16114. PMID: 30382191
Temperature is physiologically critical for all living organisms, which cope with temperature stress using metabolic and behavioral responses. In unicellular and some multicellular organisms, thermotaxis is a behavioral response to...

Nomura T, Sokabe M, Yoshimura K
Biomed Res Int . 2017 Jan; 2016:2401657. PMID: 28101504
MscS (mechanosensitive channel of small conductance) is ubiquitously found among bacteria and plays a major role in avoiding cell lysis upon rapid osmotic downshock. The gating of MscS is modulated...
