Mutations that Separate the Functions of the Proofreading Subunit of the Escherichia coli Replicase

, 2015
The dnaQ gene of Escherichia coli encodes the Ɛ subunit of DNA polymerase III, which provides the 3\u27 - 5\u27 exonuclease proofreading activity of the replicative polymerase.

Developments in the tools and methodologies of synthetic biology. [PDF]

, 2014
Synthetic biology is principally concerned with the rational design and engineering of biologically based parts, devices, or systems. However, biological systems are generally complex and unpredictable, and are therefore, intrinsically difficult to ...

RanBP2-Mediated SUMOylation Promotes Human DNA Polymerase Lambda Nuclear Localization and DNA Repair [PDF]

, 2020
Cellular DNA is under constant attack by a wide variety of agents, both endogenous and exogenous. To counteract DNA damage, human cells have a large collection of DNA repair factors. Among them, DNA polymerase lambda (Polλ) stands out for its versatility,

TRPM8 levels determine tumor vulnerability to channel agonists

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
TRPM8 is a Ca2+ permissive channel. Regardless of the amount of its transcript, high levels of TRPM8 protein mark different tumors, including prostate, breast, colorectal, and lung carcinomas. Targeting TRPM8 with channel agonists stimulates inward calcium currents followed by emptying of cytosolic Ca2+ stores in cancer cells.

The developmental regulator PKL is required to maintain correct DNA methylation patterns at RNA-directed DNA methylation loci

Genome Biology, 2017
Background The chromodomain helicase DNA-binding family of ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling factors play essential roles during eukaryote growth and development.

Recent advances in DNA nanomaterials for cancer diagnosis and treatment

Nanotechnology Reviews, 2023
The elucidation of the structural characteristics of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) by Watson and Crick, the advent of polymerase chain reaction technology, and the development of primer-synthesis methods, enable DNA to be replicated and transformed in an ...

Reaction mechanisms of Pol IV, RDR2 and DCL3 drive RNA channeling in the siRNA-directed DNA methylation pathway

bioRxiv, 2019
In eukaryotes with multiple small RNA pathways the mechanisms that channel RNAs within specific pathways are unclear. Here, we reveal the reactions that account for channeling in the siRNA biogenesis phase of the Arabidopsis RNA-directed DNA methylation ...

Systematic profiling of cancer‐fibroblast interactions reveals drug combinations in ovarian cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Fibroblasts, cells in the tumor environment, support ovarian cancer cell growth and alter morphology and drug response. We used fibroblast and cancer cell co‐culture models to test 528 drugs and discovered new drugs for combination treatment. We showed that adding Vorinostat or Birinapant to standard chemotherapy may improve drug response, suggesting ...

New insights into the QuikChangeTM process guide the use of Phusion DNA polymerase for site-directed mutagenesis

Nucleic Acids Research, 2014
The QuikChangeTM site-directed mutagenesis method is popular but imperfect. An improvement by using partially overlapping primers has been reported several times; however, it is incompatible with the proposed mechanism.

RNA polymerase II stalling promotes nucleosome occlusion and pTEFb recruitment to drive immortalization by Epstein-Barr virus [PDF]

, 2011
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) immortalizes resting B-cells and is a key etiologic agent in the development of numerous cancers. The essential EBV-encoded protein EBNA 2 activates the viral C promoter (Cp) producing a message of ~120 kb that is differentially ...
