Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • DNA
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in DNA polymerase, Molecular biology, Polymerase, Nucleotide excision repair and DNA damage. The study incorporates disciplines such as DNA polymerase II and DNA replication in addition to DNA polymerase. He combines subjects such as DNA clamp and DNA polymerase I with his study of DNA polymerase II.

His Molecular biology research incorporates themes from Mutation and Base pair. As part of one scientific family, Chikahide Masutani deals mainly with the area of Nucleotide excision repair, narrowing it down to issues related to the Xeroderma pigmentosum, and often Nucleic acid sequence. His research in DNA polymerase eta intersects with topics in Processivity, DNA polymerase delta and Pyrimidine dimer.

His most cited work include:

  • The XPV (xeroderma pigmentosum variant) gene encodes human DNA polymerase eta. (1143 citations)
  • Xeroderma Pigmentosum Group C Protein Complex Is the Initiator of Global Genome Nucleotide Excision Repair (759 citations)
  • Mechanisms of accurate translesion synthesis by human DNA polymerase η (423 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of study are Molecular biology, DNA polymerase, Polymerase, DNA and Biochemistry. His Molecular biology research incorporates elements of Genetics, Xeroderma pigmentosum, DNA repair, Mutation and DNA polymerase delta. His Xeroderma pigmentosum research includes themes of Pyrimidine dimer, Chromatin, Nucleotide excision repair and Complementation.

His studies deal with areas such as DNA polymerase II, DNA damage and DNA replication as well as DNA polymerase. His work on REV1 as part of general Polymerase study is frequently connected to Lesion, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His DNA research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cell, Nucleotide and Recombinant DNA.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Molecular biology (60.66%)
  • DNA polymerase (53.28%)
  • Polymerase (37.70%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2019)?

  • Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (12.30%)
  • DNA polymerase (53.28%)
  • DNA damage (27.87%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Proliferating cell nuclear antigen, DNA polymerase, DNA damage, Cell biology and Molecular biology are his primary areas of study. His DNA polymerase research integrates issues from Pyrimidine dimer and DNA replication. The various areas that Chikahide Masutani examines in his DNA replication study include DNA clamp, Mutagenesis, DNA polymerase II and DNA mismatch repair.

His study in DNA polymerase II is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both DNA polymerase mu and DNA polymerase delta. His DNA damage research includes elements of Posttranslational modification and DNA repair. His research investigates the connection between Molecular biology and topics such as Mutation that intersect with problems in Xeroderma pigmentosum and Transition.

Between 2012 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Different types of interaction between PCNA and PIP boxes contribute to distinct cellular functions of Y-family DNA polymerases (36 citations)
  • USP7 Is a Suppressor of PCNA Ubiquitination and Oxidative-Stress-Induced Mutagenesis in Human Cells (31 citations)
  • Regulation of DNA damage tolerance in mammalian cells by post-translational modifications of PCNA (30 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

His scientific interests lie mostly in DNA polymerase, DNA damage, DNA repair, DNA replication and Molecular biology. DNA polymerase is a subfield of DNA that he tackles. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Ubiquitin and Cell biology.

He interconnects RFC2, Genome instability and Transfection in the investigation of issues within Mutagenesis. His DNA mismatch repair study incorporates themes from Base pair, DNA clamp, DNA polymerase II and Eukaryotic DNA replication. Chikahide Masutani has included themes like Pyrimidine dimer, Thymine, Xeroderma pigmentosum and Transition in his Mutation study.
