Rapid generation of chromosome-specific alphoid DNA probes using the polymerase chain reaction [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
Non-isotopic in situ hybridization of chromosome-specific alphoid DNA probes has become a potent tool in the study of numerical aberrations of specific human chromosomes at all stages of the cell cycle. In this paper, we describe approaches for the rapid

Polyamines stimulate DNA-directed DNA synthesis catalyzed by mammalian type C retroviral DNA polymerases.

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1981
In the presence of optimal concentrations of Mg2+, rates of activated (gapped) DNA-directed DNA synthesis by purified mammalian type C retroviral DNA polymerases are stimulated greater than 10-fold by the polyamines spermine and spermidine. Such stimulation was not observed using either similar concentrations of the polyamines cadaverine or putrescine ...

Antibodies to the DNA-directed RNA polymerase II subunit RPB1 occur with highest frequency in centenarians [PDF]

open access: yesImmunity & Ageing, 2016
Recently, phage display technology has made it possible to define the circulating repertoire of humoral immunity. This study was designed to define the circulating antibodies specific to centenarians.We used a phage-displayed combinatorial peptide library to screen for peptides (YSATLRY and YSPTLFY) that preferentially react with the IgG fraction of ...

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

An upstream open reading frame regulates expression of the mitochondrial protein Slm35 and mitophagy flux

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals how the mitochondrial protein Slm35 is regulated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The authors identify stress‐responsive DNA elements and two upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the 5′ untranslated region of SLM35. One uORF restricts translation, and its mutation increases Slm35 protein levels and mitophagy.

Hachimoji DNA and RNA: A genetic system with eight building blocks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Reported here are DNA and RNA-like systems built from eight (hachi-) nucleotide letters (-moji) that form four orthogonal pairs. This synthetic genetic biopolymer meets the structural requirements needed to support Darwinism, including a polyelectrolyte ...

DNA-directed termination of mammalian RNA polymerase II

open access: yesGenes & Development
ABSTRACTThe best-studied mechanism of eukaryotic RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcriptional termination involves polyadenylation site-directed cleavage of the nascent RNA. The RNAPII-associated cleavage product is then degraded by XRN2, dislodging RNAPII from the DNA template.

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

FANCM promotes PARP inhibitor resistance by minimizing ssDNA gap formation and counteracting resection inhibition

open access: yesCell Reports
Summary: Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPis) exhibit remarkable anticancer activity in tumors with homologous recombination (HR) gene mutations. However, the role of other DNA repair proteins in PARPi-induced lethality remains elusive.

Essential and non-essential DNA replication genes in the model halophilic Archaeon, Halobacterium sp. NRC-1

open access: yesBMC Genetics, 2007
Background Information transfer systems in Archaea, including many components of the DNA replication machinery, are similar to those found in eukaryotes.
