CAF-1 is essential for heterochromatin organization in pluripotent embryonic cells. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2006
During mammalian development, chromatin dynamics and epigenetic marking are important for genome reprogramming. Recent data suggest an important role for the chromatin assembly machinery in this process. To analyze the role of chromatin assembly factor 1

H3K36 Di-Methylation Marks, Mediated by Ash1 in Complex with Caf1-55 and MRG15, Are Required during Drosophila Heart Development

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2023
Methyltransferases regulate transcriptome dynamics during development and aging, as well as in disease. Various methyltransferases have been linked to heart disease, through disrupted expression and activity, and genetic variants associated with ...

Pentatricopeptide repeat proteins in crops: Advances in functional mechanisms and breeding applications

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 7, Page 1973-2000, July 2026.
Pentatricopeptide repeat proteins coordinate nucleus‐organelle communication by modulating RNA metabolism within chloroplasts and mitochondria. This review highlights how they control critical processes like photosynthesis, seed development, fertility restoration, and stress survival in crops, and explores their potential as programmable tools for RNA ...

Biochemical and biophysical characterization of the deadenylase CrCaf1 from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The modulation of mRNA turnover has been increasingly recognized as a hotpoint for gene expression regulation at the post-transcriptional level. In eukaryotic cells, most mRNAs are degraded via the deadenylation-dependent pathway, in which the removal of

Comprehensive Integrated Single‐Cell and Spatial Transcriptomics Unveil the Dynamic Landscape of Betel Nut‐Associated Oral Mucosal Carcinogenesis and Its Tumor Microenvironment

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Betel nut chewing is a major etiological factor for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), yet its mechanistic underpinnings remain poorly defined. Here, we performed single‐cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics from six OSCC patients to comprehensively dissect the tumor microenvironment (TME) dynamics and cellular heterogeneity ...

Caf1 of Yersinia pestis Forms Complex Highly Stable Protein Polymers and Hydrogel Scaffolds [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 2016
Caf1 is a polymeric protein from the plague bacterium Y. pestis which is secreted via the chaperone-usher pathway and protects the pathogen from macrophages of the host's immune system by forming a protective layer around the cell. The 15.5kDa monomer has beta structure and resembles the extracellular matrix protein fibronectin.

Maintenance of cell fates and regulation of the histone variant H3.3 by TLK kinase in Caenorhabditis elegans

open access: yesBiology Open, 2019
Cell-fate maintenance is important to preserve the variety of cell types that are essential for the formation and function of tissues. We previously showed that the acetylated histone-binding protein BET-1 maintains cell fate by recruiting the histone ...

Ambient stable quantitative PCR reagents for the detection of Yersinia pestis. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2010
BACKGROUND: Although assays for detecting Yersinia pestis using TaqMan probe-based real-time PCR have been developed for years, little is reported on room-temperature-stable PCR reagents, which will be invaluable for field epidemic surveillance ...
