T4 DNA polymerase improves the efficiency of multiple site-directed mutagenesis [PDF]
Site-directed mutagenesis (SDM) is a useful tool to study the functions of regulatory sequences of DNA and RNA, and the structures and functions of proteins. Numerous methods have been developed for either single or multiple SDM (MSDM).

Human p53 interacts with the elongating RNAPII complex and is required for the release of actinomycin D induced transcription blockage [PDF]
The p53 tumour suppressor regulates the transcription initiation of selected genes by binding to specific DNA sequences at their promoters. Here we report a novel role of p53 in transcription elongation in human cells.

RNA-mediated in vivo Directed Evolution in Yeast
Directed evolution is a powerful approach to obtain genetically-encoded sought-for traits. Compared to the prolonged adaptation regimes to mutations occurring under natural selection, directed evolution unlocks rapid screening and selection of mutants ...

SHH1, a homeodomain protein required for DNA methylation, as well as RDR2, RDM4, and chromatin remodeling factors, associate with RNA polymerase IV. [PDF]
DNA methylation is an evolutionarily conserved epigenetic modification that is critical for gene silencing and the maintenance of genome integrity. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the de novo DNA methyltransferase, domains rearranged methyltransferase 2 (DRM2),

Dynamic regulation of ARGONAUTE4 within multiple nuclear bodies in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
DNA methylation directed by 24-nucleotide small RNAs involves the small RNA-binding protein ARGONAUTE4 (AGO4), and it was previously shown that AGO4 localizes to nucleolus-adjacent Cajal bodies, sites of snRNP complex maturation. Here we demonstrate that

Kinetic analysis of an efficient DNA-dependent TNA polymerase. [PDF]
alpha-l-Threofuranosyl nucleoside triphosphates (tNTPs) are tetrafuranose nucleoside derivatives and potential progenitors of present-day beta-d-2'-deoxyribofuranosyl nucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs).

Co-targeting RNA Polymerases IV and V Promotes Efficient De Novo DNA Methylation in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
The RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) pathway in plants controls gene expression via cytosine DNA methylation. The ability to manipulate RdDM would shed light on the mechanisms and applications of DNA methylation to control gene expression.
