Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Molecular biology, Cell biology, Biochemistry, Heterochromatin and Genetics. His Molecular biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cancer epigenetics, Histone methylation, DNA methylation, Transfection and Complementary DNA. His work focuses on many connections between Histone methylation and other disciplines, such as CpG site, that overlap with his field of interest in Cancer research.

As a part of the same scientific family, Takeshi Urano mostly works in the field of Cell biology, focusing on INCENP and, on occasion, Aurora Kinase B and Kinase activity. His Heterochromatin research incorporates themes from Centromere, RNA interference and Small interfering RNA. Takeshi Urano works mostly in the field of Heterochromatin protein 1, limiting it down to concerns involving Euchromatin and, occasionally, Constitutive heterochromatin and Kinetochore assembly.

His most cited work include:

  • Gene silencing in cancer by histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation independent of promoter DNA methylation (534 citations)
  • Ral-GTPases mediate a distinct downstream signaling pathway from Ras that facilitates cellular transformation. (312 citations)
  • Identification and characterization of Ral-binding protein 1, a potential downstream target of Ral GTPases. (266 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Molecular biology, Cell biology, Cancer research, Biochemistry and Genetics. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Molecular biology, Histone methyltransferase is strongly linked to DNA methylation. His work carried out in the field of Cell biology brings together such families of science as Cell, Histone H3 and Cell growth.

His work in Cancer research addresses subjects such as Cancer, which are connected to disciplines such as Exon. His Heterochromatin research incorporates elements of Centromere and RNA interference. Takeshi Urano interconnects Ubiquitin ligase and Aurora B kinase, Cytokinesis in the investigation of issues within Mitosis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Molecular biology (35.38%)
  • Cell biology (30.77%)
  • Cancer research (18.46%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Cell biology (30.77%)
  • Genetics (13.33%)
  • Chromatin (8.21%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Cell biology, Genetics, Chromatin, Molecular biology and Nucleosome. The study incorporates disciplines such as Schizosaccharomyces pombe, RNA interference and Gene knockdown in addition to Cell biology. His Molecular biology research includes elements of Cell, Inflammasome, Peptide sequence, Interleukin and Monoclonal antibody.

His Nucleosome study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as In vivo, Minichromosome and Yeast. Takeshi Urano has researched Euchromatin in several fields, including Histone, Eukaryotic chromosome fine structure and Heterochromatin protein 1. Takeshi Urano has included themes like Cell culture and Cancer research in his Tyrosine kinase study.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A novel 3′ splice site recognition by the two zinc fingers in the U2AF small subunit (45 citations)
  • Molecular Landscape of the Ribosome Pre-initiation Complex during mRNA Scanning: Structural Role for eIF3c and Its Control by eIF5 (30 citations)
  • Global regulation of heterochromatin spreading by Leo1. (30 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Takeshi Urano spends much of his time researching Genetics, Cell cycle, Cancer, Euchromatin and Heterochromatin. Takeshi Urano regularly links together related areas like Cell biology in his Genetics studies. His work deals with themes such as RNA and Ribonucleoprotein, which intersect with Cell biology.

His studies in Cell cycle integrate themes in fields like Base excision repair, Ubiquitin, Pancreatic cancer and Cell growth. As part of one scientific family, Takeshi Urano deals mainly with the area of Cancer, narrowing it down to issues related to the Cancer research, and often Growth inhibition, Phenethyl isothiocyanate, DNA damage and Ovarian cancer. The various areas that Takeshi Urano examines in his Euchromatin study include Histone and Heterochromatin protein 1.
