How Cations Can Assist DNase I in DNA Binding and Hydrolysis [PDF]
DNase I requires Ca2+ and Mg2+ for hydrolyzing double-stranded DNA. However, the number and the location of DNase I ion-binding sites remain unclear, as well as the role of these counter-ions.

Characterization of mouse polycystic kidney disease and receptor for egg jelly gene and protein in heterologous and native system [PDF]
The mammalian polycystic kidney disease (PKD) gene family comprises eight members whose role in cell physiology is still poorly understood. Two of the founding members of the family, PKD1 and PKD2, are responsible for the majority of cases of autosomal ...

Coiled-coil irregularities of the M1 protein structure promote M1-fibrinogen interaction and influence group A Streptococcus host cell interactions and virulence [PDF]
Group A Streptococcus (GAS) is a human pathogen causing a wide range of mild to severe and life-threatening diseases. The GAS M1 protein is a major virulence factor promoting GAS invasiveness and resistance to host innate immune clearance. M1 displays an

Drought-induced site-specific DNA methylation and its association with drought tolerance in rice (Oryza sativa L.) [PDF]
An indica pyramiding line, DK151, and its recurrent parent, IR64, were evaluated under drought stress and non-stress conditions for three consecutive seasons. DK151 showed significantly improved tolerance to drought.

Salt Effects on Protein-DNA Interactions: The λcI Repressor and EcoRI Endonuclease
In this paper, finite-difference solutions to the nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann (NLPB) equation are used to calculate the salt dependent contribution to the electrostatic DNA binding free energy for both the λcI repressor and the EcoRI endonuclease.
