CUTie2: The Attack of the Cyclic Nucleotide Sensor Clones
The detection of small molecules in living cells using genetically encoded FRET sensors has revolutionized our understanding of signaling pathways at the sub-cellular level. However, engineering fluorescent proteins and specific binding domains to create

On the role of cyclic nucleotides in the transmitter choice made by cultured sympathetic neurons [PDF]
Previous investigations have established that electrical activity or chronic depolarization influences the development of neonatal rat sympathetic neurons in dissociated cell culture.

A stepwise emergence of evolution in the RNA world
How did biological evolution emerge from chemical reactions? This perspective proposes a gradual scenario of self‐organization among RNA molecules, where catalytic feedback on random mixtures plays the central role. Short oligomers cross‐ligate, and self‐assembly enables heritable variations. An event of template‐externalization marks the transition to

Use of the KlADH3 promoter for the quantitative production of the murine PDE5A isoforms in the yeast Kluyveromyces lactis [PDF]
Background: Phosphodiesterases (PDE) are a superfamily of enzymes that hydrolyse cyclic nucleotides (cAMP/ cGMP), signal molecules in transduction pathways regulating crucial aspects of cell life.

Evolutionary interplay between viruses and R‐loops
Viruses interact with specialized nucleic acid structures called R‐loops to influence host transcription, epigenetic states, latency, and immune evasion. This Perspective examines the roles of R‐loops in viral replication, integration, and silencing, and how viruses co‐opt or avoid these structures.

Genetically-encoded tools for cAMP probing and modulation in living systems.
Intracellular 3'-5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is one of the principal second messengers downstream of a manifold of signal transduction pathways, including the ones triggered by G protein-coupled receptors.

Regulation of the G2/M Transition in Rodent Oocytes [PDF]
Regulation of maturation in meiotically competent mammalian oocytes is a complex process involving the carefully coordinated exchange of signals between the somatic and germ cell compartments of the ovarian follicle via paracrine and cell–cell coupling ...

Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs) are the only enzymes that degrade the cyclic nucleotides cAMP and cGMP, and play a key role in modulating the amplitude and duration of the signal delivered by these two key intracellular second messengers ...

Cyclic nucleotides and amphibian development
Summary Addition of 3′, 5′-cyclic AMP (cAMP), N 6 , O 2 dibutyryl cyclic AMP (db-cAMP) and 3′,5′-cyclic GMP (cGMP) to fertilized amphibian eggs ( Ambystoma mexicanum, Xenopus laevis ) exerted little effect on development. Theophylline, at a high concentration (10 mM), produced strong developmental abnormalities; it had no effect at lower ...
