<p>Toki Taira: </p> <hr /> <div>[[File:Toki Taira.jpg|150px|right]]<br /> Toki Taira is an associate professor at Department of Bioscience and Biotechnology, Faculty of Agriculture, University of the Ryukyus located in Okinawa island, Japan. He received PhD degree in 2001 from Graduate School of Agriculture in Kyushu University. His research program currently focuses on the structures and functions of plant chitinases ([[GH18]] and [[GH19]]), including their CBMs ([[CBM18]] and [[CBM50]]), which are involved in plant self-defense against fungal pathogens. He contributed enzymatic characterization of various plant chitinases &lt;cite&gt;Taira2005a Onaga2008 Taira2009 Taira2011&lt;/cite&gt; and analysis of their antifungal action by using combination of biochemical experiment and bio-assay &lt;cite&gt;Taira2001 Taira2002 Taira2005b Arakane2012&lt;/cite&gt;. He and his colabolater found a new type chitinase consisting of GH18 and LysM domains ([[CBM50]]) from fern plant &lt;cite&gt;Onaga2008&lt;/cite&gt;. They reported LysM domain of the chitinase could bind to a chitin and contribute significantly to the antifungal activity of the protein through their binding activity &lt;cite&gt;Onaga2008 Ohnuma2008&lt;/cite&gt;. CBM50 has been established by these reports.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> References<br /> &lt;biblio&gt;<br /> #Taira2005a pmid=15665484<br /> #Taira2005b pmid=15849422<br /> #Onaga2008 pmid=18310304<br /> #Taira2009 pmid=19696236<br /> #Taira2011 pmid=21367878<br /> #Taira2001 pmid=11826968<br /> #Taira2002 pmid=12092848<br /> #Arakane2012 pmid=22280343<br /> #Ohnuma2008 pmid=18083709<br /> &lt;/biblio&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Contributors|Taira,Toki]]</div>
