Abstract
The flagellar axial proteins are transported across the cytoplasmic membrane into the central channel of the growing flagellum via the flagellar protein export apparatus, a member of the type III secretion system (T3SS). To reveal the molecular mechanism of protein transport by the T3SS, accurate measurement of protein transport under various conditions is essential. In this chapter, we describe an in vitro method for flagellar protein transport assay using inverted membrane vesicles (IMVs) prepared from Salmonella cells. This method can easily and precisely control the condition around the T3SS and be applied to other T3SSs.

Abstract
The bacterial flagellum employs a rotary motor embedded on the cell surface. The motor consists of the stator and rotor elements and is driven by ion influx (typically H+ or Na+) through an ion channel of the stator. Ion influx induces conformational changes in the stator, followed by changes in the interactions between the stator and rotor. The driving force to rotate the flagellum is thought to be generated by changing the stator-rotor interactions. In this chapter, we describe two methods for investigating the interactions between the stator and rotor: site-directed in vivo photo-crosslinking and site-directed in vivo cysteine disulfide crosslinking.

Abstract
Abscisic acid (2-cis,4-trans-abscisic acid) is a plant hormone that has an asymmetric carbon atom. We tried to separate the enantiomers of native abscisic acid by HPLC using a phenyl column and a chiral mobile phase containing γ-cyclodextrin. The optimum mobile phase conditions were found to be 0.8% (w/v) γ-cyclodextrin, 4% (v/v) acetonitrile, and 20 mM phosphate buffer (pH 6.0). It was found that (R)-abscisic acid was earlier detected than (S)-abscisic acid. Since γ-cyclodextrin is hardly retained on a phenyl column, it was suggested that (R)-abscisic acid formed a more stable complex with γ-cyclodextrin than the (S)-abscisic acid. Abscisic acid in an acacia honey sample was successfully enantioseparated with the proposed method and only (S)-abscisic acid was detected. A biologically inactive 2-trans,4-trans-abscisic acid, which was prepared by irradiation of abscisic acid with a light-emitting diode lamp at 365 nm, was partially enantioseparated by the proposed method. Since the irradiation of (S)-abscisic acid-induced cis-to-trans isomerization to produce one 2-trans,4-trans-abscisic acid enantiomer, it is reasonable that racemization did not proceed during the cis-to-trans isomerization. (S)-Abscisic acid and probably (S)-2-trans,4-trans-abscisic acid were detected in a honey sample, where the peak area of (S)-abscisic acid was 7 times larger than that of (S)-2-trans,4-trans-abscisic acid.

Abstract
Vibrio has a polar flagellum driven by sodium ions for swimming. The force-generating stator unit consists of PomA and PomB. PomA contains four-transmembrane regions and a cytoplasmic domain of approximately 100 residues which interacts with the rotor protein, FliG, to be important for the force generation of rotation. The three-dimensional structure of the stator shows that the cytosolic interface (CI) helix of PomA is located parallel to the inner membrane. In this study, we investigated the function of CI helix and its role as stator. Systematic proline mutagenesis showed that residues K64, F66, and M67 were important for this function. The mutant stators did not assemble around the rotor. Moreover, the growth defect caused by PomB plug deletion was suppressed by these mutations. We speculate that the mutations affect the structure of the helices extending from TM3 and TM4 and reduce the structural stability of the stator complex. This study suggests that the helices parallel to the inner membrane play important roles in various processes, such as the hoop-like function in securing the stability of the stator complex and the ion conduction pathway, which may lead to the elucidation of the ion permeation and assembly mechanism of the stator.

Abstract
Cyclodextrins and their derivatives have been used for chiral high-performance liquid chromatography selectors, while they are costly to use as mobile phase additives in high-performance liquid chromatography. Here, we report application of phenyl column coated permanently with methylated β-cyclodextrin for chiral high-performance liquid chromatography. A 0.1% (v/v) phosphoric acid solution containing 1 M NaCl and 0.5% (w/v) methylated β-cyclodextrin was subjected to a phenyl column at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min at 30°C for 2 h. Using the precoating phenyl column, all the enantiomers of the four phenethylamines (norepinephrine, epinephrine, octopamine, and synephrine) were successfully separated simultaneously by high-performance liquid chromatography with a mobile phase without methylated β-cyclodextrin at a flow rate of 0.2 mL/min at 30°C. The enantioseparation ability was retained for successive analyses during 1 week. It is suggested that inclusion complex of methylated β-cyclodextrin with a phenyl group on the surface of the stationary phase could be formed and that the inclusion complex could form the ternary complex with the injected analytes. The longer retention time of (S)-enantiomers of analytes than corresponding (R)-enantiomers for high-performance liquid chromatography could be explained from the higher stability of the methylated β-cyclodextrin complexes with (S)-enantiomers, which were confirmed by capillary electrophoresis and 1 H NMR spectroscopy experiments.

Abstract
The MS ring is a part of the flagellar basal body and formed by 34 subunits of FliF, which consists of a large periplasmic region and two transmembrane segments connected to the N- and C-terminal regions facing the cytoplasm. A cytoplasmic protein, FlhF, which determines the position and number of the basal body, supports MS ring formation in the membrane in Vibrio species. In this study, we constructed FliF deletion mutants that lack 30 or 50 residues from the N-terminus (ΔN30 and ΔN50), and 83 (ΔC83) or 110 residues (ΔC110) at the C-terminus. The N-terminal deletions were functional and conferred motility of Vibrio cells, whereas the C-terminal deletions were nonfunctional. The mutants were expressed in Escherichia coli to determine whether an MS ring could still be assembled. When co-expressing ΔN30FliF or ΔN50FliF with FlhF, fewer MS rings were observed than with the expression of wild-type FliF, in the MS ring fraction, suggesting that the N-terminus interacts with FlhF. MS ring formation is probably inefficient without FlhF. The deletion of the C-terminal cytoplasmic region did not affect the ability of FliF to form an MS ring because a similar number of MS rings were observed for ΔC83FliF as with wild-type FliF, although further deletion of the second transmembrane segment (ΔC110FliF) abolished it. These results suggest that the terminal regions of FliF have distinct roles; the N-terminal region for efficient MS ring formation and the C-terminal region for MS ring function. The second transmembrane segment is indispensable for MS ring assembly.ImportanceThe bacterial flagellum is a supramolecular architecture involved in cell motility. At the base of the flagella, a rotary motor that begins to construct an MS ring in the cytoplasmic membrane comprises 34 transmembrane proteins (FliF). Here, we investigated the roles of the N and C terminal regions of FliF, which are MS rings. Unexpectedly, the cytoplasmic regions of FliF are not indispensable for the formation of the MS ring, but the N-terminus appears to assist in ring formation through recruitment of FlhF, which is essential for flagellar formation. The C-terminus is essential for motor formation or function.

Abstract
The bacterial flagellum is an organelle responsible for motility and has a rotary motor comprising the rotor and the stator. Flagellar biogenesis is initiated by the assembly of the MS-ring, a supramolecular complex embedded in the cytoplasmic membrane. The MS-ring consists of a few dozen copies of the transmembrane FliF protein, and is an essential core structure which is a part of the rotor. The number and location of the flagella are controlled by the FlhF and FlhG proteins in some species. However, there is no clarity on the factors initiating MS-ring assembly, and contribution of FlhF/FlhG to this process. Here, we show that FlhF and a C-ring component FliG facilitate Vibrio MS-ring formation. When Vibrio FliF alone was expressed in Escherichia coli cells, MS-ring formation rarely occurred, indicating the requirement of other factors for MS-ring assembly. Consequently, we investigated if FlhF aided FliF in MS-ring assembly. We found that FlhF allowed GFP-fused FliF to localize at the cell pole in a Vibrio cell, suggesting that it increases local concentration of FliF at the pole. When FliF was co-expressed with FlhF in E. coli cells, the MS-ring was effectively formed, indicating that FlhF somehow contributes to MS-ring formation. The isolated MS-ring structure was similar to the MS-ring formed by Salmonella FliF. Interestingly, FliG facilitates MS-ring formation, suggesting that FliF and FliG assist in each other's assembly into the MS-ring and C-ring. This study aids in understanding the mechanism behind MS-ring assembly using appropriate spatial/temporal regulations.Importance Flagellar formation is initiated by the assembly of the FliF protein into the MS-ring complex, embedded in the cytoplasmic membrane. The appropriate spatial/temporal control of MS-ring formation is important for the morphogenesis of the bacterial flagellum. Here, we focus on the assembly mechanism of Vibrio FliF into the MS-ring. FlhF, a positive regulator of the number and location of flagella, recruits the FliF molecules at the cell pole and facilitates MS-ring formation. FliG also facilitates MS-ring formation. Our study showed that these factors control flagellar biogenesis in Vibrio, by initiating the MS-ring assembly. Furthermore, it also implies that flagellar biogenesis is a sophisticated system linked with the expression of certain genes, protein localization and a supramolecular complex assembly.

Abstract
The bacterial flagellar motor is a unique supramolecular complex which converts ion flow into rotational force. Many biological devices mainly use two types of ions, proton and sodium ion. This is probably because of the fact that life originated in seawater, which is rich in protons and sodium ions. The polar flagellar motor in Vibrio is coupled with sodium ion and the energy converting unit of the motor is composed of two membrane proteins, PomA and PomB. It has been shown that the ion binding residue essential for ion transduction is the conserved aspartic acid residue (PomB-D24) in the PomB transmembrane region. To reveal the mechanism of ion selectivity, we identified essential residues, PomA-T158 and PomA-T186, other than PomB-D24, in the Na+-driven flagellar motor. It has been shown that the side chain of threonine contacts Na+ in Na+-coupled transporters. We monitored the Na+-binding specific structural changes using ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. The signals were abolished in PomA-T158A and -T186A, as well as in PomB-D24N. Molecular dynamics simulations further confirmed the strong binding of Na+ to D24 and showed that T158A and T186A hindered the Na+ binding and transportation. The data indicate that two threonine residues (PomA-T158 and PomA-T186), together with PomB-D24, are important for Na+ conduction in the Vibrio flagellar motor. The results contribute to clarify the mechanism of ion recognition and conversion of ion flow into mechanical force.

Abstract
Type III secretion system (T3SS) is a protein translocator complex family including pathogenic injectisome or bacterial flagellum. The inejectisomal T3SS serves to deliver virulence proteins into host cell and the flagellar T3SS constructs the flagellar axial structure. Although earlier studies have provided many findings on the molecular mechanism of the Type III protein export, they were not sufficient to reveal energy transduction mechanism due to difficulties in controlling measurement conditions in vivo. Recently, we developed an in vitro flagellar Type III protein transport assay system using inverted membrane vesicles (IMVs), and analyzed protein export by using the in vitro method. We reproduced protein export of the flagellar T3SS, hook assembly and substrate specificity switch in IMV to a similar extent to what is seen in living cell. Furthermore, we demonstrated that ATP-hydrolysis energy can drive protein transport even in the absence of proton-motive force (PMF). In this mini-review, we will summarize our new in vitro Type III transport assay method and our findings on the molecular mechanism of Type III protein export.

Abstract
The bacterial flagellum is a supramolecular motility machine consisting of the basal body as a rotary motor, the hook as a universal joint, and the filament as a helical propeller. Intact structures of the bacterial flagella have been observed for different bacterial species by electron cryotomography and subtomogram averaging. The core structures of the basal body consisting of the C ring, the MS ring, the rod and the protein export apparatus, and their organization are well conserved, but novel and divergent structures have also been visualized to surround the conserved structure of the basal body. This suggests that the flagellar motors have adapted to function in various environments where bacteria live and survive. In this review, we will summarize our current findings on the divergent structures of the bacterial flagellar motor.

Abstract
We developed a reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography method with ultraviolet detection using on-line complexation with Cu(II) ion for analysis of five alcohols including diols and triol (methanol, ethanol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol, and glycerol). The Cu(II) ion concentration in the mobile phase had a great influence on the peak areas of these alcohols, but not on their retention times. Column temperature (25-40°C) and pH of the mobile phase did not affect the separation of analytes. The optimum separation conditions were determined as 5 mM CuSO4 , 3 mM H2 SO4 , and 3 mM NaOH at 30°C. The ratio of the peak areas for three alcohols (methanol, 1,2-propanediol, and glycerol) was in good agreement with that calculated from the obtained stability constants, molar absorption coefficients for the 1:1 Cu(II) complexes with the three alcohols, and the injected molar quantities. This fact strongly suggests that the observed high-performance liquid chromatography signals resulted from formation of the 1:1 Cu(II)-alcohol complexes. Using the proposed method, these five alcohols in spirit, liquid for electronic cigarette, mouthwash, and nail enamel remover samples were successfully analyzed with only a simple pretreatment.

Abstract
Racemic sulforaphane, which was derivatized with (S)-leucine (l-leucine), was resolved by reversed phase HPLC with UV detection. The optimum mobile phase conditions were found to be 10 mM citric acid (pH 2.8) containing 22% methanol at 35 °C using detection at 254 nm. Sulforaphane enantiomers in florets and stems of five brands of broccoli and leaves and stems of three brands of broccoli sprouts were analyzed by the proposed HPLC method. Both sulforaphane enantiomers were detected in all of the samples. The S/R ratios of sulforaphane in broccoli samples were 1.5-2.6/97.4-98.5% for florets and 5.0-12.1/87.9-95.0% for stems. The S/R ratios in broccoli sprout samples were higher than those in broccoli samples and were found to be 8.3-19.7/80.3-91.7% for leaves and 37.0-41.8/58.2-63.0% for stems. (S)-Sulforaphane detected in the broccoli and its sprout samples was positively identified by separately using an HPLC with a chiral column (Chiralpak AD-RH) and mass spectrometry.

Abstract
Febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES), or acute encephalitis with refractory, repetitive partial seizures (AERRPS), is an epileptic encephalopathy beginning with fever-mediated seizures. The etiology remains unclear. To elucidate the genetic background of FIRES/AERRPS (hereafter FIRES), we recruited 19 Japanese patients, genotyped polymorphisms of the IL1B, IL6, IL10, TNFA, IL1RN, SCN1A and SCN2A genes, and compared their frequency between the patients and controls. For IL1RN, the frequency of a variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) allele, RN2, was significantly higher in the patients than in controls (p=0.0067), and A allele at rs4251981 in 5' upstream of IL1RN with borderline significance (p=0.015). Haplotype containing RN2 was associated with an increased risk of FIRES (OR 3.88, 95%CI 1.40-10.8, p=0.0057). For SCN1A, no polymorphisms showed a significant association, whereas a missense mutation, R1575C, was found in two patients. For SCN2A, the minor allele frequency of G allele at rs1864885 was higher in patients with borderline significance (p=0.011). We demonstrated the association of IL1RN haplotype containing RN2 with FIRES, and showed a possible association of IL1RN rs4251981 G>A and SCN2A rs1864885 A>G, in Japanese patients. These preliminary findings suggest the involvement of multiple genetic factors in FIRES, which needs to be confirmed by future studies in a larger number of FIRES cases.

Abstract
Mutations in SPATA5 have recently been shown to result in a phenotype of microcephaly, intellectual disability, seizures, and hearing loss in childhood. Our aim in this report is to delineate the SPATA5 syndrome as a clinical entity, including the facial appearance, neurophysiological, and neuroimaging findings. Using whole-exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing, we identified three children with SPATA5 mutations from two families. Two siblings carried compound heterozygous mutations, c.989_991del (p.Thr330del) and c.2130_2133del (p.Glu711Profs*21), and the third child had c.967T>A (p.Phe323Ile) and c.2146G>C (p.Ala716Pro) mutations. The three patients manifested microcephaly, psychomotor retardation, hypotonus or hypertonus, and bilateral hearing loss from early infancy. Common facies were a depressed nasal bridge/ridge, broad eyebrows, and retrognathia. Epileptic spasms or tonic seizures emerged at 6-12 months of age. Interictal electroencephalography showed multifocal spikes and bursts of asynchronous diffuse spike-wave complexes. Augmented amplitudes of visually evoked potentials were detected in two patients. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed hypomyelination, thin corpus callosum, and progressive cerebral atrophy. Blood copper levels were also elevated or close to the upper normal levels in these children. Clinical delineation of the SPATA5-related encephalopathy should improve diagnosis, facilitating further clinical and molecular investigation.

Abstract
In order to analyze trigonelline, caffeine, chlorogenic acid, and their related compounds simultaneously, an HPLC method using an InertSustain C18 column and a mobile phase containing octanesulfonate as an ion-pairing reagent under an acidic condition was developed. The optimum mobile phase conditions were determined to be 0.1% phosphoric acid, 4 mM octanesulfonate, and 15% methanol at 35°C. Using the proposed method, trigonelline, nicotinic acid, caffeine, theophylline, chlorogenic acid, and caffeic acid in ten instant coffee samples were analyzed. These analytes except for theophylline were detected in all samples. An increase in the caffeine content in instant coffee samples tended to decrease in both trigonelline and chlorogenic acid contents, and the trigonelline content was found to be correlated well with the chlorogenic acid content (R(2) = 0.887).

Abstract
Three aldohexoses, glucose, galactose, and mannose, and three aldopentoses, arabinose, xylose, and ribose, were derivatized with L-tryptophanamide (L-TrpNH2 ) under alkaline conditions. Using a basic mobile phase (pH 9.2), the three aldohexoses or the three aldopentoses were simultaneously enantioseparated, respectively, but all the six monosaccharides could not be simultaneously enantioseparated. A large amount of nonreacted L-TrpNH2 was detected after the derivatized monosaccharides. In order to widen the separation window, a large portion of nonreacted L-TrpNH2 could be eliminated by liquid-liquid extraction with ethylacetate, and elution order of the derivatized monosaccharides and nonreacted L-TrpNH2 was found to be reversed using a neutral mobile phase. All of the six monosaccharides were simultaneously enantioseparated by reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using InertSustainSwift C18 column (4.6 mm i.d. × 150 mm) and a mobile phase containing 180 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.6), 1.5 mM butylboronic acid, and 5% acetonitrile at 40 °C. Nomenclature of D and L for monosaccharides is based on the configurations of the asymmetric C4 center for aldopentoses and C5 center for aldohexoses. It was found that the enantiomer elution order of these six monosaccharides and fucose in the proposed method conformed to be the absolute configuration of the C2 center.

Abstract
Phospholipid scramblases disrupt the lipid asymmetry of the plasma membrane, externalizing phosphatidylserine to trigger blood coagulation and mark apoptotic cells. Recently, members of the TMEM16 family of Ca2+-gated channels have been shown to be involved in Ca2+-dependent scrambling. It is however controversial whether they are scramblases or channels regulating scrambling. Here we show that purified afTMEM16, from Aspergillus fumigatus, is a dual-function protein: it is a Ca2+-gated channel, with characteristics of other TMEM16 homologues, and a Ca2+-dependent scramblase, with the expected properties of mammalian phospholipid scramblases. Remarkably, we find that a single Ca2+ site regulates separate transmembrane pathways for ions and lipids. Two other purified TMEM16-channel homologues do not mediate scrambling, suggesting that the family diverged into channels and channel/scramblases. We propose that the spatial separation of the ion and lipid pathways underlies the evolutionary divergence of the TMEM16 family, and that other homologues, such as TMEM16F, might also be dual-function channel/scramblases.

Abstract
Bacterial flagellar motors exploit the electrochemical potential gradient of a coupling ion as energy source and are composed of stator and rotor proteins. Vibrio alginolyticus has a Na(+)-driven motor and its stator is composed of PomA and PomB. Recently, we isolated increased motility strains (sp1-sp4) from the PomA-N194D/PomB-D24N mutant whose motility was quite weak. To detect the responsible mutation, we have used a next-generation sequencer and determined the entire genome sequences of the sp1 and sp2 strains. Candidate mutations were identified in the gene encoding the a-subunit of F1Fo-ATPase (uncB). To confirm this, we constructed a deletion strain, which gave the increased motility phenotype. The amount of membrane-bound ATPase was reduced in the sp2 and ΔuncB mutants. From these results, we conclude that a mutation in the uncB gene causes the increased motility phenotype in V. alginolyticus. They confer faster motility in low concentrations of sodium than in the parental strain and this phenotype is suppressed in the presence of KCN. Those results may suggest that the proton gradient generated by the respiratory chain is increased by the uncB mutation, consequently the sodium motive force is increased and causes the increased motility phenotype.

Abstract
Bacterial flagellar motors exploit the electrochemical potential gradient of a coupling ion (H+ or Na+) as their energy source, and are composed of stator and rotor proteins. Sodium-driven and proton-driven motors have the stator proteins PomA and PomB or MotA and MotB, respectively, which interact with each other in their transmembrane (TM) regions to form an ion channel. The single TM region of PomB or MotB, which forms the ion-conduction pathway together with TM3 and TM4 of PomA or MotA, respectively, has a highly conserved aspartate residue that is the ion binding site and is essential for rotation. To investigate the ion conductivity and selectivity of the Na+-driven PomA/PomB stator complex, we replaced conserved residues predicted to be near the conserved aspartate with H+-type residues, PomA-N194Y, PomB-F22Y and/or PomB-S27T. Motility analysis revealed that the ion specificity was not changed by either of the PomB mutations. PomB-F22Y required a higher concentration of Na+ to exhibit swimming, but this effect was suppressed by additional mutations, PomA-N194Y or PomB-S27T. Moreover, the motility of the PomB-F22Y mutant was resistant to phenamil, a specific inhibitor for the Na+ channel. When PomB-F22 was changed to other amino acids and the effects on swimming ability were investigated, replacement with a hydrophilic residue decreased the maximum swimming speed and conferred strong resistance to phenamil. From these results, we speculate that the Na+ flux is reduced by the PomB-F22Y mutation, and that PomB-F22 is important for the effective release of Na+ from PomB-D24.

Abstract
AbstractThe kinetics of adsorption of polyvinyl acetate at the solid-liquid interface has been studied to verify the correctness of a description in a paper [Peterson and Kwel, J.Phys.Chem. 65, 1330(1961)] : “the initial rate of adsorption of polyvinyl acetate was found to be rapid”. This is inconsistent with the widely accepted knowledge that polymer adsorption is a slow process. Polyvinyl acetate (Mw = 124,800) was adsorbed from benzene (0.001 to 0.05 mg ml−1) onto mica at 295.5 K. The adsorbed amount per unit area i.e. adsorbance has been determined as a function of incubation time using an ultramicrobalance [Mettler UM3]. The results obtained show that the adsorbance rises rapidly at the beginning of adsorption and then reaches an apparent plateau, where the adsorbance still increases at negligibly slow rate in comparison with the initial rate. The Peterson and Kwei's results have been confirmed to be correct. We regarded the plateau as an adsorption equilibrium and constructed adsorption isotherms, in which the Peterson and Kwei's results were incorporated. These isotherms are found to be less dependent on concentration in the dilute region concerned. This dependency is in agreement with the prediction of the Scheutjens and Fleer theory based on the loop-train-tail model.

Abstract
A well-known disadvantage of a radiofrequency-capacitive device for deep-seated tumours is preferential heating of the subcutaneous fat tissue. The authors previously developed the hyperthermia with their own external cooling unit and achieved strong superficial cooling, and reported its usefulness for the reduction of the preferential heating. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of hyperthermia with strong superficial cooling on the treatment results for unresectable or recurrent colorectal cancers. From 1986 to 2002, 44 patients with primary unresectable or locally recurrent colorectal cancer treated with thermoradiotherapy were analysed retrospectively. The patients with obesity as a subcutaneous fat thickness more than 3 cm, a high age or other serious complications did not undergo therapy. The results were compared between 17 cases with strong superficial cooling treated after 1997 (Group A) and 27 cases without strong superficial cooling treated before 1996 (Group B). Significant differences in thermometry data of T(max), T(ave) and T(min) were noted between Groups A (45.3, 44.4 and 43.6 degrees C, respectively) and B (42.9, 42.0 and 41.1 degrees C, respectively) (p<0.01). Complete response plus partial response rates were better for Group A than for Group B (59 versus 26%, p = 0.05). Multivariate analysis by logistic regression to evaluate the effects of certain factors on complete response plus partial response was strongly correlated with strong superficial cooling (p<0.05). The median survival times for overall survival were 24.3 months for Group A and 17.1 months for Group B (p<0.05). Eight-megahertz radiofrequency-capacitive regional hyperthermia with strong superficial cooling is potentially useful for improving treatment results in unresectable or recurrent colorectal cancers.

Abstract
Flagellar motor proteins, MotA/B and PomA/B, are essential for the motility of Escherichia coli and Vibrio alginolyticus, respectively. Those complexes work as a H+ and a Na+ channel, respectively and play important roles in torque generation as the stators of the flagellar motors. Although Asp32 of MotB and Asp24 of PomB are believed to function as ion binding site(s), the ion flux pathway from the periplasm to the cytoplasm is still unclear. Conserved residues, Ala39 of MotB and Cys31 of PomB, are located on the same sides as Asp32 of MotB and Asp24 of PomB, respectively, in a helical wheel diagram. In this study, a series of mutations were introduced into the Ala39 residue of MotB and the Cys31 residue of PomB. The motility of mutant cells were markedly decreased as the volume of the side chain increased. The loss of function due to the MotB(A39V) and PomB(L28A/C31A) mutations was suppressed by mutations of MotA(M206S) and PomA(L183F), respectively, and the increase in the volume caused by the MotB(A39V) mutation was close to the decrease in the volume caused by the MotA(M206S) mutation. These results demonstrate that Ala39 of MotB and Cys31 of PomB form part of the ion flux pathway and pore with Met206 of MotA and Leu183 of PomA in the MotA/B and PomA/B stator units, respectively.

Abstract
Flagellar motor proteins, PomA and PomB, are essential for converting the sodium motive force into rotational energy in the Na(+)-driven flagella motor of Vibrio alginolyticus. PomA and PomB, which are cytoplasmic membrane proteins, together comprise the stator complex of the motor and form a Na(+) channel. We tried to synthesize PomA and PomB by using the cell-free protein synthesis system, PURESYSTEM. We succeeded in doing so in the presence of liposomes, and showed an interaction between them using the pull-down assay. It seems likely that the proteins are inserted into liposomes and assembled spontaneously. The N-terminal region of in vitro synthesized PomB appeared to be lost, but this problem was suppressed by fusing GFP to the N-terminus of PomB or by mutagenesis at Pro-11 or Pro-12. A structural change of the N-terminal region of PomB by these modifications may prevent cleavage during protein synthesis in PURESYSTEM. The mutations did not affect the functioning of the motor. Using this system, biochemical analysis of PomA and PomB can be performed easily and efficiently.

Abstract
Precise regulation of the number and placement of flagella is critical for the mono-polar-flagellated bacterium Vibrio alginolyticus to swim efficiently. We have shown previously that the number of polar flagella is positively regulated by FlhF and negatively regulated by FlhG. We now show that DeltaflhF cells are non-flagellated as are most DeltaflhFG cells; however, some of the DeltaflhFG cells have several flagella at lateral positions. We found that FlhF-GFP was localized at the flagellated pole, and its polar localization was seen more intensely in DeltaflhFG cells. On the other hand, most of the FlhG-GFP was diffused throughout the cytoplasm, although some was localized at the pole. To investigate the FlhF-FlhG interaction, immunoprecipitation was performed by using an anti-FlhF antibody, and FlhG co-precipitated with FlhF. From these results we propose a model in which FlhF localization at the pole determines polar location and production of a flagellum, FlhG interacts with FlhF to prevent FlhF from localizing at the pole, and thus FlhG negatively regulates flagellar number in V. alginolyticus cells.

Abstract
Bacterial flagella are filamentous organelles that drive cell locomotion. They thrust cells in liquids (swimming) or on surfaces (swarming) so that cells can move toward favorable environments. At the base of each flagellum, a reversible rotary motor, which is powered by the proton- or the sodium-motive force, is embedded in the cell envelope. The motor consists of two parts: the rotating part, or rotor, that is connected to the hook and the filament, and the nonrotating part, or stator, that conducts coupling ion and is responsible for energy conversion. Intensive genetic and biochemical studies of the flagellum have been conducted in Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli, and more than 50 gene products are known to be involved in flagellar assembly and function. The energy-coupling mechanism, however, is still not known. In this chapter, we survey our current knowledge of the flagellar system, based mostly on studies from Salmonella, E. coli, and marine species Vibrio alginolyticus, supplemented with distinct aspects of other bacterial species revealed by recent studies.

Abstract
The number and location of bacterial flagella vary with the species. The Vibrio alginolyticus cell has a single polar flagellum, which is driven by sodium ions. We selected mutants on the basis of reduced swarming ability on soft agar plates. Among them, we found two mutants with multiple polar flagella, and named them KK148 and NMB155. In Pseudomonas species, it is known that FlhF and FleN, which are FtsY and MinD homologs, respectively, are involved in regulation of flagellar placement and number, respectively. We cloned homologous genes of V. alginolyticus, flhF and flhG. KK148 cells had a nonsense mutation in flhG; cells expressing transgenic flhG recovered the swarming ability and had a reduced number of polar flagella. NMB155 cells did not have a mutation in either flhF or flhG. In wild-type cells, expression of flhF increased the number of polar flagella; in contrast, expression of flhG reduced both the number of polar flagella and the swarming ability. These results suggest that FlhG negatively regulates the number of polar flagella in V. alginolyticus. KK148 cells expressing both flhF and flhG exhibited fewer polar flagella and better swarming ability than KK148 cells expressing flhG alone, suggesting that FlhG acts with FlhF.

Abstract
Recently environmental control is regarded as important for good human health conditions, and toxic substances, including carcinogens and endocrine disruptors should be eliminated from our living environment. Hence easy quantitative methods are expected for a high level of environmental control. Our previous paper describes an easy quantitative analysis of nitrosamines (NAs) by capillary electrophoresis with an untreated fused silica capillary installed in an ordinary apparatus. In this paper, utilizing a novel type capillary column having sulfonated inner wall was investigated for improvements of separation performance and reproducibility. A sulfonated capillary causes fast and stabile electroosmotic flow because its inner wall is strongly negative charged. On a performance comparison of a sulfonated capillary with an untreated fused silica, analysis time reduction of c.a. forty percent was achieved, and relative standard deviations of migration times and peak responses were less than one third. In addition sample concentrations giving detection and quantitation limits were also reduced to a half.

Abstract
The four motor proteins PomA, PomB, MotX and MotY, which are believed to be stator proteins, are essential for motility by the Na(+)-driven flagella of Vibrio alginolyticus. When we purified the flagellar basal bodies, MotX and MotY were detected in the basal body, which is the supramolecular complex comprised of the rotor and the bushing, but PomA and PomB were not. By antibody labelling, MotX and MotY were detected around the LP ring. These results indicate that MotX and MotY associate with the basal body. The basal body had a new ring structure beneath the LP ring, which was named the T ring. This structure was changed or lost in the basal body from a DeltamotX or DeltamotY strain. The T ring probably comprises MotX and MotY. In the absence of MotX or MotY, we demonstrated that PomA and PomB were not localized to a cell pole. From the above results, we suggest that MotX and MotY of the T ring are involved in the incorporation and/or stabilization of the PomA/PomB complex in the motor.
