  • Research Highlights
    Vol. 16, November 2016 Research Highlights Fishy approach reveals how things taste sweet or umami Okayama University have identified the protein conformational changes associated with sweet and umami taste recognition. Taste recognition occurs as specific protein receptors in the mouth interact with molecules in eaten food. The proteins responsible for tasting sweet and umami molecules are described as taste receptor type 1 (T1r) and are common to vertebrates in general, including fish, birds and mammals. It is known that the T1r family of variants interact with food molecules in paired up structures - “heterodimers” – Yamashita and colleagues identified the structure and to allow the distinction between umami, sweet, and other conformational changes in type 1 taste receptor proteins tastes. However, difficulties in producing and purifying these during the recognition of sweet and umami tastes proteins have inhibited attempts to directly investigate what interactions occur during sweet and umami taste recognition. Atsuko Yamashita and a team of researchers at RIKEN SPring-8 Center, the National Institute of Natural Science, the Graduate University for Advanced Studies (SOKENDAI), the Food Research Institute, Osaka University, Okazaki Institute for Integrative Biosciences, and Okayama University have now successfully demonstrated a way around these difficulties. They identified a fish known as medaka or “Japanese rice fish” as a suitable vertebrate model for investigating umami and sweet tastes. The researchers found they could produce – “express” – the ligand binding domain of the T1r2 and T1r3 proteins in medaka fish as functional heterodimeric proteins. They express the proteins in a glycosylated form, which is closer to the physiological state. The study identifies the conformational changes the proteins undergo during sweet and umami taste recognition for the first time.

The IAAF World Athletics Championships Doha 2019 is a great stageA for you to challenge the “power and skill” of the world, and it has an important meaning as a prelude to 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games which is quickly approaching. Expand your athletic ability you have gained through competition experiences and years of hard training here in Doha and make a huge step towards the grand stage. Along with your athletic ability, human quality is also very important. Athletics is an individual sport except for relays, but it is necessary to have Team JAPAN awareness. The consciousness of competing as a team will also enhance your human quality, and that rise helps to improve individual competitiveness.

I hope you are doing well in the new academic year. AATJ launched our “J-CAN initiative” at the beginning of this year. J-CAN stands for Japanese-Core Practices, Articulation/Advocacy and Network. In addition to articulation, advocacy, and networking activities, AATJ is now promoting ACTFL’s Core Practices* – that is, high-leverage teaching practices – to promote Japanese language and cultural education. As part of our efforts, AATJ and the Japan Foundation, Los Angeles, sponsored a “J-CAN Workshop at Old Dominion College in Virginia in July. Representatives of four of AATJ’s affiliate organizations gathered and explored what core practices mean, and each organization planned short-term and long-term action plans for each organization and their J-CAN activities. Please see a more detailed report of the workshop in this newsletter. In addition, AATJ and the Japan Foundation are co-organizing and planning a J-CAN workshop in November in Boston. The theme of the workshop is “New Pedagogy Across the US,” and it will be held at MIT on November 20, right after the ACTFL Convention/AATJ Fall Conference in Boston.

  • Joint Press Release
    Joint Press Release For immediate release Learning for a Brighter Future Meeting an Atomic Bomb Survivor Japan and UNITAR successfully conclude South Sudan Fellowship Programme 2015 Cycle and launch the next 2016 Cycle 10 March 2016, Juba, South Sudan – The United Nations Institute of Research and Training (UNITAR) Hiroshima Office and the Embassy of Japan in South Sudan, together with the Government of South Sudan, jointly announced the successful conclusion of the inaugural 2015 Cycle of the UNITAR South Sudan Fellowship Programme, a five-month specialized capacity building training programme for South Sudan, at the completion ceremony held in Juba today. The launch of the next 2016 Cycle was also proclaimed on that occasion. Outcome of the 2015 Cycle Focusing on project development and implementation, the 2015 Cycle trained twenty South Sudanese participants (Fellows), including eight women, who were chosen from twenty public sector and civil society organizations. The programme used blended learning methodology, including three workshops, asynchronous training modules and assignments. Each Fellow undertook an Organizational Needs Assessment and developed, throughout the programme, a project proposal that addresses contemporary challenges and problems in South Sudan. In a South-South cooperation initiative, senior professionals from Afghanistan mentored the Fellows as they developed the project proposals. The 2015 Cycle began with Workshop I, held in Juba, South Sudan, in November 2015, which introduced the Fellows to theory and best practice for needs assessment and analysis. Workshop II was held in Tokyo and Hiroshima, Japan, in January 2016 and focused on the tools and processes for 1 the successful implementation of projects.
