Background: Atopic dermatitis is the most common chronic inflammatory skin disease. A complex interaction of both genetic and environmental factors is thought to contribute to the disease. Aims: To evaluate whether single nucleotide polymorphisms in the

Deconvoluting AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) adenine nucleotide binding and sensing
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a central cellular energy sensor that adapts metabolism and growth to the energy state of the cell. AMPK senses the ratio of adenine nucleotides (adenylate energy charge) by competitive binding of AMP, ADP, and ATP ...

Structure and stereochemistry of the base excision repair glycosylase MutY reveal a mechanism similar to retaining glycosidases. [PDF]
MutY adenine glycosylases prevent DNA mutations by excising adenine from promutagenic 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (OG):A mismatches. Here, we describe structural features of the MutY active site bound to an azaribose transition state analog which indicate a

Human adenine nucleotide translocases physically and functionally interact with respirasomes
A network of interactions for human adenine nucleotide translocases, required for oxidative phosphorylation, is reported. Of particular interest is an evolutionarily conserved and functionally important association with respiratory supercomplexes, which ...

Conformationally Restricted Adenine Nucleotide Analogs in Mitochondrial Adenine Nucleotide Transport
Abstract The conformationally restricted adenine nucleotide analogs 8,3′anhydro-8-oxy-9-(β-ᴅ-xylofurano-syl) adenine-5′-O-tri (di) -phosphate (I) , and 8,2′-anhydro-8-oxy-9-(β-ᴅ-arabinofuranosyl) adenine-5′-O-tri (di)-phosphate (II), were prepared chemically as their α-32P-labelled compounds and compared with syn-structured 8-bromo AT(D)

Cytosine, but not adenine, base editors induce genome-wide off-target mutations in rice
Spotting off-targets from gene editing Unintended genomic modifications limit the potential therapeutic use of gene-editing tools. Available methods to find off-targets generally do not work in vivo or detect single-nucleotide changes.

Nucleotides: Structure and Properties [PDF]
Nucleotides consist of a nitrogen-containing base, a five-carbon sugar, and one or more phosphate groups. Cells contain many types of nucleotides, which play a central role in a wide variety of cellular processes, including metabolic regulation and the ...

Improving cytidine and adenine base editors by expression optimization and ancestral reconstruction
Base editors enable targeted single-nucleotide conversions in genomic DNA. Here we show that expression levels are a bottleneck in base-editing efficiency.
