Comparison of methods for the quantification of cell-free DNA isolated from cell culture supernatant

open access: yesTumor Biology, 2019
Gaining a better understanding of the biological properties of cell-free DNA constitutes an important step in the development of clinically meaningful cell-free DNA–based tests.

Circulating cell-free DNA levels correlate with postresuscitation survival rates in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients

open access: yes, 2014
Early prediction of prognosis is helpful in cardiac arrest patients. Plasma cell-free DNA, which increases rapidly after cell death, is a novel biomarker for the prognosis of critical ill patients.

DNA replication is required for the checkpoint response to damaged DNA in Xenopus egg extracts. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Alkylating agents, such as methyl methanesulfonate (MMS), damage DNA and activate the DNA damage checkpoint. Although many of the checkpoint proteins that transduce damage signals have been identified and characterized, the mechanism that senses the ...

Cancer Detection from Plasma Cell-Free DNA [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2020
Liquid biopsy of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has attracted much attention for its promise to realize pan-cancer detection in a non-invasive way. The whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) is widely used in cfDNA sequencing analysis and lays the foundation ...

Cell-free DNA and outcome in sepsis.

open access: yes, 2012
Severe sepsis can be a catastrophic condition that is often associated with poor outcomes. The early diagnosis and management of the condition are vital in order to improve the chances of survival. However, owing to the syndromal nature of its definition

A targeting sequence directs DNA methyltransferase to sites of DNA replication in mammalian nuclei [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
Tissue-specific patterns of methylated deoxycytidine residues in the mammalian genome are preserved by postreplicative methylation of newly synthesized DNA. DNA methyltransferase (MTase) is here shown to associate with replication foci during S phase but

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Single Cell Analysis of Human RAD18-Dependent DNA Post-Replication Repair by Alkaline Bromodeoxyuridine Comet Assay

open access: yes, 2013
Damage to DNA can block replication progression resulting in gaps in the newly synthesized DNA. Cells utilize a number of post-replication repair (PRR) mechanisms such as the RAD18 controlled translesion synthesis or template switching to overcome the ...
