Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

His scientific interests lie mostly in Molecular biology, Gene, Signal transduction, Complementary DNA and Biochemistry. His Molecular biology research incorporates themes from Nucleic acid sequence, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, G alpha subunit and Molecular cloning, Peptide sequence. When carried out as part of a general Signal transduction research project, his work on G protein, Anti-apoptotic Ras signalling cascade and Tyrosine kinase is frequently linked to work in Proto-Oncogene Proteins p21, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

His specific area of interest is Complementary DNA, where Yoshito Kaziro studies cDNA library. His Biotin, Metabolism and Protein oligomerization study in the realm of Biochemistry connects with subjects such as Vitamin b complex. Yoshito Kaziro has included themes like Receptor and Genetics in his Cell biology study.

His most cited work include:

  • Molecular cloning and expression of cDNA for human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor. (781 citations)
  • Structure and Function of Signal-Transducing GTP-Binding Proteins (555 citations)
  • The role of guanosine 5'-triphosphate in polypeptide chain elongation. (481 citations)

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

Yoshito Kaziro mainly focuses on Biochemistry, Molecular biology, Cell biology, Gene and GTP'. The various areas that he examines in his Molecular biology study include Nucleic acid sequence, Mutant, Complementary DNA, Peptide sequence and G protein. His Peptide sequence research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Binding protein and G alpha subunit.

His Gene study introduces a deeper knowledge of Genetics. His GTP' research integrates issues from GTPase and Stereochemistry. His studies deal with areas such as Cancer research and Cellular differentiation as well as Signal transduction.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (42.51%)
  • Molecular biology (37.25%)
  • Cell biology (20.65%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1994-2016)?

  • Cell biology (20.65%)
  • Molecular biology (37.25%)
  • Signal transduction (14.57%)

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

Yoshito Kaziro mostly deals with Cell biology, Molecular biology, Signal transduction, Protein kinase A and G protein. The concepts of his Molecular biology study are interwoven with issues in Transfection, Phosphorylation, Tyrosine phosphorylation, Activator and Anti-apoptotic Ras signalling cascade. His Signal transduction research includes elements of Complementary DNA and Cellular differentiation.

The Protein kinase A study combines topics in areas such as HEK 293 cells and Immunology. His G protein study is related to the wider topic of Biochemistry. Biochemistry is closely attributed to Propionates in his work.

Between 1994 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Activation of p38 Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase by Signaling through G Protein-coupled Receptors INVOLVEMENT OF Gβγ AND Gαq/11 SUBUNITS (143 citations)
  • Formation of the Ras Dimer Is Essential for Raf-1 Activation (120 citations)
  • Involvement of Protein Kinase C and Src Family Tyrosine Kinase in Gαq/11-induced Activation of c-Jun N-terminal Kinase and p38 Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase (117 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Cell biology, Molecular biology, Signal transduction, Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase and Protein kinase A are his primary areas of study. His Cell biology study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Complementary DNA. His work often combines Molecular biology and Sf9 studies.

His Signal transduction study deals with the bigger picture of Genetics. His Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase research incorporates elements of MAP kinase kinase kinase and MAP2K7. His work carried out in the field of Protein kinase A brings together such families of science as Mitogen-activated protein kinase, Protein kinase B, MAPK/ERK pathway and Fetal bovine serum.
