Cloning of complementary DNA encoding a functional human interleukin-8 receptor.

open access: yesScience, 1991
Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is an inflammatory cytokine that activates neutrophil chemotaxis, degranulation, and the respiratory burst. Neutrophils express receptors for IL-8 that are coupled to guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins); binding of IL-8 ...

Colloidal Flying Carpets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
DNA plays a special role in polymer science not just because of the highly selective recognition of complementary single DNA strands but also because bacteria can express DNA chains that are very long yet perfectly monodisperse.

Bubble propagation in a helicoidal molecular chain

open access: yes, 2000
We study the propagation of very large amplitude localized excitations in a model of DNA that takes explicitly into account the helicoidal structure. These excitations represent the ``transcription bubble'', where the hydrogen bonds between complementary

Modifications in FLAP's second cytosolic loop influence 5‐LOX interaction, inhibitor binding, and leukotriene formation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The enzyme 5‐lipoxygenase (5‐LOX) catalyzes the first step in the biosynthesis of leukotrienes (LTs) involved in inflammatory pathophysiology. After cellular stimulation, 5‐LOX translocates to the nucleus, interacting with the 5‐LOX‐activating protein (FLAP) to form LTA4 from arachidonic acid (AA).

Non-homologous DNA end joining in normal and cancer cells and its dependence on break structures

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2010
DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are a serious threat to the cell, for if not or miss-repaired, they can lead to chromosomal aberration, mutation and cancer.

Experimental validation of determinants of UV sensitivity using synthetic DNA

open access: yesJournal of Photochemistry and Photobiology, 2022
Treatment with ultraviolet (UV) light has been shown to be effective for disinfection of pathogens. For pathogenic risk management, it would be effective to estimate the UV sensitivity of unknown pathogenic microorganisms from their nucleotide sequences.

Simulations Meet Experiment to Reveal New Insights into DNA Intrinsic Mechanics.

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2015
The accurate prediction of the structure and dynamics of DNA remains a major challenge in computational biology due to the dearth of precise experimental information on DNA free in solution and limitations in the DNA force-fields underpinning the ...

The process of infection with bacteriophage phiX174, XXX. Replication of double-stranded phiX DNA [PDF]

open access: yes, 1969
Intermediates involved in the replication of double-stranded phiX174 RF DNA have been identified and partially characterized. Analysis of pulse-labeled RF DNA suggests that the synthesis of progeny RF molecules involves, in part, the addition of ...

Sensitive detection of multiple pathogens using a single DNA probe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
A simple but promising electrochemical DNA nanosensor was designed, constructed and applied to differentiate a few food-borne pathogens. The DNA probe was initially designed to have a complementary region in Vibrio parahaemolyticus (VP) genome and to ...

The carboxylate “gripper” of the substrate is critical for C‐4 stereo‐inversion by UDP‐glucuronic acid 4‐epimerase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
UDP‐glucuronic acid 4‐epimerase (UGAepi) catalyzes NAD+‐dependent interconversion of UDP‐glucuronic acid (UDP‐GlcA) and UDP‐galacturonic acid (UDP‐GalA) via C4‐oxidation, 4‐keto‐intermediate rotation, and C4‐reduction. Here, Borg et al. examined the role of the substrate's carboxylate group in the enzymic mechanism by analyzing NADH‐dependent reduction
