KU80 suppresses endonuclease G activity to preserve genomic integrity

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Under normal conditions, EndoG remains restricted to mitochondria and the genome remains intact. When KU80 is absent, EndoG translocates into the nucleus, where it promotes DNA fragmentation and genomic instability. Thus, this work highlights the importance of KU80 in tightly controlling EndoG localization to preserve genome stability.

Contrasting effects of different molecular crowding environments on base‐pair opening/closing dynamics of DNA triplex structures

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Base‐pair opening and closing regulate nucleic‐acid structure, stability, and function, but how these motions behave under intracellular molecular crowding remains unclear. Using NMR, we quantified these dynamics in a DNA triplex under two crowder‐reconstituted environments that mimic cellular crowding.

Gene Editing for Haemophilia—The Next Frontier

Haemophilia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The recently approved haemophilia A and B gene therapies via adeno‐associated virus (AAV) showed a promising therapeutic response after a single injection, but there are still limitations, including the potential loss of transgene expression and restriction in adults.

Integrative taxonomy reveals four new species of the armoured catfish genus Pareiorhina (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) from the upper Paraná River basin, Brazil

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Four new species of the small‐sized armoured catfish genus Pareiorhina are described from mountain ranges in the Grande River drainage, upper Paraná River basin, based on morphological and molecular species delimitation methods. Molecular analyses based on the cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) marker recovered Pareiorhina as polyphyletic ...

DNA extracted from boiled archival fish bones yields high‐quality whole‐genome sequencing data

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Archival samples provide a unique source of organismal DNA, offering the potential to extend the temporal scale of genetic studies by decades to centuries. Fish hard structures, such as otoliths and scales, serve as records for fish collected during fisheries monitoring across a large spatiotemporal scale.

DNA Methylation: Its Role and Interaction with Epigenetic Modifications in Cancer

Progress in Microbes and Molecular Biology
DNA methylation is an epigenetic mark involving the addition of a methyl group to DNA, particularly at cytosine residues. This methylation plays an important role in regulating gene expression through direct gene repression or through the control of ...

Cytosine base editing inhibits hepatitis B virus replication and reduces HBsAg expression in vitro and in vivo

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a global health problem due to the lack of treatments that prevent viral rebound from HBV covalently closed circular (ccc)DNA.

Stem microanatomical phenomic uncovers a potential role for ZmLSM2 in regulating maize stem bending strength

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Maize ZmLSM2 (U6 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein specific Sm‐like 2) controls maize stem strength by affecting vascular bundle structure. Using advanced computed tomography imaging and artificial intelligence identified key stem traits linked to lodging resistance and developed a predictive model.

Coupling of both a transactivation module and a double‐stranded DNA‐binding domain boosts Cas12i3 variant‐based cytosine and adenine editing in plants

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Fusions of a transactivation module and a double‐stranded DNA‐binding domain produced effective Cas12i3 variant‐based cytosine and adenine base editors, with improved C‐to‐T and A‐to‐G base editing efficiency and expanded editing window. Generated herbicide‐resistant rice germplasm by using these base editors demonstrates their potential for precise ...
