Role of RNA Interference (RNAi) in the Moss Physcomitrella patens [PDF]

, 2013
RNA interference (RNAi) is a mechanism that regulates genes by either transcriptional (TGS) or posttranscriptional gene silencing (PTGS), required for genome maintenance and proper development of an organism.

DNA-Directed Polymerase Subunits Play a Vital Role in Human Telomeric Overhang Processing [PDF]

Molecular Cancer Research, 2015
Abstract Telomeres consist of TTAGGG repeats bound by the shelterin complex and end with a 3′ overhang. In humans, telomeres shorten at each cell division, unless telomerase (TERT) is expressed and able to add telomeric repeats.

T4 DNA polymerase improves the efficiency of multiple site-directed mutagenesis

Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2016
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).

Chimerization of antibodies by isolation of rearranged genomic variable regions by the polymerase chain reaction [PDF]

, 1991
We describe a new method for amplification, by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), of rearranged segments encoding the variable part of light and heavy chains of an antibody (Ab) from the chromosomal DNA of hybridoma cells for the chimerization ofAbs.

Translesion synthesis in mammalian cells [PDF]

, 2006
DNA damage blocks the progression of the replication fork. In order to circumvent the damaged bases, cells employ specialized low stringency DNA polymerases, which are able to carry out translesion synthesis (TLS) past different types of damage. The five

DNA-directed DNA Polymerase and Strand Displacement Activity of the Reverse Transcriptase Encoded by the R2 Retrotransposon [PDF]

Journal of Molecular Biology, 2007
R2 elements are non-long terminal repeat (non-LTR) retrotransposons with a single open reading-frame encoding reverse transcriptase, DNA endonuclease and nucleic acid-binding domains. The elements are specialized for insertion into the 28 S rRNA genes of many animal phyla.

Investigation of Multi-Subunit Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA-Directed RNA Polymerase and Its Rifampicin Resistant Mutants

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
Emerging Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) resistant strains have continued to limit the efficacies of existing antitubercular therapies. More specifically, mutations in the RNA replicative machinery of Mtb, RNA polymerase (RNAP), have been widely linked to rifampicin (RIF) resistance, which has led to therapeutic failures in many clinical cases ...

Inhibitors of HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase—Associated Ribonuclease H Activity

Biology, 2012
HIV-1 enzyme reverse transcriptase (RT) is a major target for antiviral drug development, with over half of current FDA-approved therapeutics against HIV infection targeting the DNA polymerase activity of this enzyme. HIV-1 RT is a multifunctional enzyme

A DCL3 dicing code within Pol IV-RDR2 transcripts diversifies the siRNA pool guiding RNA-directed DNA methylation

eLife, 2022
In plants, selfish genetic elements, including retrotransposons and DNA viruses, are transcriptionally silenced by RNA-directed DNA methylation. Guiding the process are short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) cut by DICER-LIKE 3 (DCL3) from double-stranded ...

Structure and Function of a Mycobacterial NHEJ DNA Repair Polymerase [PDF]

, 2006
Non homologous end-joining (NHEJ)-mediated repair of DNA double-strand breaks in prokaryotes requires Ku and a specific multidomain DNA ligase (LigD).
