Katsuki R, Kanuka M, Ohta R, Yoshida S, Tamura T
Genes Cells . 2024 Apr; 29(6):486-502. PMID: 38682256
Quality-based protein production and degradation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are essential for eukaryotic cell survival. During protein maturation in the ER, misfolded or unassembled proteins are destined for disposal...

Miura K, Katsuki R, Yoshida S, Ohta R, Tamura T
Int J Mol Sci . 2023 Aug; 24(15). PMID: 37569550
Secretory and membrane proteins are vital for cell activities, including intra- and intercellular communication. Therefore, protein quality control in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an essential and crucial process for...

Kanuka M, Ouchi F, Kato N, Katsuki R, Ito S, Miura K, et al.
Int J Mol Sci . 2020 Jun; 21(12). PMID: 32545905
Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is one of the most severe neurodegenerative diseases and is often associated with misfolded protein aggregates derived from the genetic mutation of related genes. Recently, mutations in...

Ando T, Masaki T, Kono M, Nagano Y, Sakamoto K, Tamura T, et al.
J Infect Chemother . 2020 May; 26(7):769-774. PMID: 32417263
Studies have shown that pneumococcal vaccination reduces the incidence of Streptococcus pneumoniae infections but does not change the prevalence of S. pneumoniae nasopharyngeal colonization. To comprehensively and longitudinally assess the...

Miyajima E, Harada D, Nakaminami H, Kitamura Y, Tamura T, Kawakubo T, et al.
Microb Drug Resist . 2019 Apr; 25(7):1032-1040. PMID: 30964376
Presence of methicillin-resistant (MRSA) strains carrying plasmid-borne multidrug efflux pump-encoding gene, , is a serious issue for infection control in hospitals, because they can survive hand hygiene. The genes are...

Lamriben L, Oster M, Tamura T, Tian W, Yang Z, Clausen H, et al.
J Biol Chem . 2018 Jul; 293(36):13932-13945. PMID: 30021839
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) degradation-enhancing α-mannosidase-like 1 protein (EDEM1) is a protein quality control factor that was initially proposed to recognize -linked glycans on misfolded proteins through its mannosidase-like domain (MLD)....

Yamawaki S, Naitoh M, Kubota H, Aya R, Katayama Y, Ishiko T, et al.
Int J Mol Sci . 2018 Apr; 19(5). PMID: 29695130
Keloids occur after failure of the wound healing process; inflammation persists, and various treatments are ineffective. Keloid pathogenesis is still unclear. We have previously analysed the gene expression profiles in...

Harada D, Nakaminami H, Miyajima E, Sugiyama T, Sasai N, Kitamura Y, et al.
J Infect Chemother . 2018 Apr; 24(7):563-569. PMID: 29628385
Recently, the dissemination of community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) into hospitals has frequently been reported worldwide. Hospital-acquired MRSA (HA-MRSA) strains exhibit high-level resistance to multiple antimicrobial agents, whereas CA-MRSA strains...

Tannous A, Patel N, Tamura T, Hebert D
Mol Biol Cell . 2014 Nov; 26(3):390-405. PMID: 25428988
UDP-glucose:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase 1 (UGT1) is a central quality control gatekeeper in the mammalian endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The reglucosylation of glycoproteins supports their rebinding to the carbohydrate-binding ER molecular chaperones calnexin...

Tamura T, Arai S, Nagaya H, Mizuguchi J, Wada I
PLoS One . 2013 Sep; 8(9):e74580. PMID: 24040290
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) plays essential roles in protein folding and assembly of secretory proteins. ER-resident molecular chaperones and related enzymes assist in protein maturation by co-operated interactions and modifications....
