Molecular basis for modulation of the p53 target selectivity by KLF4 [PDF]
The tumour suppressor p53 controls transcription of various genes involved in apoptosis, cell-cycle arrest, DNA repair and metabolism. However, its DNA-recognition specificity is not nearly sufficient to explain binding to specific locations in vivo ...

Calculation of complex DNA damage induced by ions
This paper is devoted to the analysis of the complex damage of DNA irradiated by ions. The analysis and assessment of complex damage is important because cells in which it occurs are less likely to survive because the DNA repair mechanisms may not be ...

Expression profiling of key pathways in rat liver after a one-year feeding trial with transgenic maize MON810 [PDF]
In a recent one-year feeding study, we observed no adverse effects on tissue level in organs of rats fed with the genetically-modified maize MON810. Here, we assessed RNA expression levels of 86 key genes of the apoptosis-, NF-кB-, DNA-damage response ...

Dissociation Dynamics of XPC-RAD23B from Damaged DNA Is a Determining Factor of NER Efficiency. [PDF]
XPC-RAD23B (XPC) plays a critical role in human nucleotide excision repair (hNER) as this complex recognizes DNA adducts to initiate NER. To determine the mutagenic potential of structurally different bulky DNA damages, various studies have been ...

Chemical Aspects of Clustered DNA Damage Induction by Ionising Radiation
Ionising radiation induces a variety of chemical modifications to DNA, ranging from simple, isolated lesions to clustered DNA damage, in which two or more lesions are formed within a few tens of base pairs by a single radiation track. Multiple lesions, e.g. tandem lesions and amplification of damage, may also be induced in DNA by reaction with a single

Analysis of acid-stressed Bacillus cereus reveals a major oxidative response and inactivation-associated radical formation [PDF]
Acid stress resistance of the food-borne human pathogen Bacillus cereus may contribute to its survival in acidic environments, such as encountered in soil, food and the human gastrointestinal tract. The acid stress responses of B.

Significance of DNA polymerase I in in vivo processing of clustered DNA damage
We examined the biological consequences of bi-stranded clustered damage sites, consisting of a combination of DNA lesions, such as a 1-nucleotide gap (GAP), an apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) site, and an 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG), using a bacterial plasmid-based assay.
