ABSTRACT Precise genome editing has transformed plant biology and crop improvement by enabling targeted modification of endogenous loci. Beyond gene knockout and base editing, the site‐specific insertion of exogenous DNA, particularly large DNA fragments, has become a central goal for engineering complex traits, reconstructing metabolic pathways and ...

Mechanisms of evolutionary optimized complex folding reactions [PDF]
The mechanisms and speed limits of evolutionary optimized complex folding reactions were investigated in this study. The two viral model proteins, foldon and SFVP, have evolved under selective pressure for fast and efficient folding and association.

Contribution of bacterial outer membrane vesicles to innate bacterial defense
Background Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are constitutively produced by Gram-negative bacteria throughout growth and have proposed roles in virulence, inflammation, and the response to envelope stress.

Function of bacteriophage orf recombinasesin genetic exchange [PDF]
Recombination events in bacteriophages frequently occur by illegitimate exchange at short tracts of sequence homology, enabling these viruses to acquire novel genes and serve as vehicles for horizontal gene transfer.

Spontaneous deletion of an "ORFanage" region facilitates host adaptation in a "photosynthetic" cyanophage [PDF]
Viruses have been suggested to be the largest source of genetic diversity on Earth. Genome sequencing and metagenomic surveys reveal that novel genes with unknown functions are abundant in viral genomes.

Microarray Analysis of Gene Expression during Bacteriophage T4 Infection [PDF]
Genomic microarrays were used to examine the complex temporal program of gene expression exhibited by bacteriophage T4 during the course of development. The microarray data confirm the existence of distinct early, middle, and late transcriptional classes

Calibration of Surface Plasmon Resonance Imager for Biochemical Detection
We present a new Surface Plasmon Resonance imager (SPRi) based on immobilized T4-phage for bacteria detection. First, we present the sensitivity of the SPR imager towards refractive index variation for biosensor application.

Systematic mutation of bacteriophage T4 lysozyme
Amber mutations were introduced into every codon (except the initiating AUG) of the bacteriophage T4 lysozyme gene. The amber alleles were introduced into a bacteriophage P22 hybrid, called P22 e416, in which the normal P22 lysozyme gene is replaced by ...
