Nucleases and Their Inhibitors: Exploring Biological Roles, Industrial Applications, and Challenges in Heterologous Expression

Biotechnology Journal, Volume 21, Issue 9, September 2026.
Graphical Abstract and Lay Summary Intracellular nucleases, depicted as blue circles in a nucleosome, hydrolyze phosphodiester bonds, repair damaged DNA using DNA base excision repair (BER), mismatch repair (MMR), and homologous recombination (HR), and are involved in DNA replication.

Structural basis of the T4 bacteriophage primosome assembly and primer synthesis

Nature Communications, 2023
The T4 bacteriophage gp41 helicase and gp61 primase assemble into a primosome to couple DNA unwinding with RNA primer synthesis for DNA replication. How the primosome is assembled and how the primer length is defined are unclear.

Genetic diversity among five T4-like bacteriophages

Virology Journal, 2006
Background Bacteriophages are an important repository of genetic diversity. As one of the major constituents of terrestrial biomass, they exert profound effects on the earth's ecology and microbial evolution by mediating horizontal gene transfer between ...

Evolutionary insights into bilin biosynthesis: Functional characterization of pre‐PcyA enzymes

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Biosynthesis of the linear tetrapyrrole phycocyanobilin (PCB) by the ferredoxin‐dependent bilin reductase (FDBR) PcyA is essential for light‐harvesting and regulatory processes in diverse photosynthetic organisms, yet its evolutionary origins are not fully understood. PcyA evolved from pre‐PcyA proteins found in diverse bacteria.
