An orphan DNA (cytosine-5-)-methyltransferase in Vibrio cholerae [PDF]
5-Methyl cytosine (m5C) was detected in genomic DNA of the enteric pathogen Vibrio cholerae by HPLC analysis and immunoblotting with m5C-specific antibody. Although cleavage with the restriction endonuclease EcoRII revealed the absence of a Dcm homologue in V.

Fluorescent Method for the Detection of Biothiols Using an Ag+-Mediated Conformational Switch
In this work, a novel, simple, and time-saving fluorescence approach for the detection of biothiols (glutathione and cysteine) was developed by employing a DNA probe labeled with 2-aminopurine.

5-hydroxymethyl-cytosine enrichment of non-committed cells is not a universal feature of vertebrate development [PDF]
5-hydroxymethyl-cytosine (5-hmc) is a cytosine modification that is relatively abundant in mammalian pre-implantation embryos and embryonic stem cells (Esc) derived from mammalian blastocysts.

The epigenetic DNA modifications 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) in eukaryotes are recognized either in the context of double-stranded DNA (e.g., by the methyl-CpG binding domain of MeCP2), or in the flipped-out state (e.g., by ...

Analysis of early changes in DNA methylation in synovial fibroblasts of RA patients before diagnosis [PDF]
DNA methylation is an important epigenetic modification that is known to be altered in rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts (RASF). Here, we compared the status of promoter DNA methylation of SF from patients with very early RA with SF from patients

15N NMR study of a mixture of uniformly labeled tRNAs [PDF]
15N NMR spectra were taken of 15N-enriched tRNA extracted from bakers yeast; ammonium sulfate was used as a nitrogen source. The increase in the degree of denaturation of tRNA, which occurs with increase in temperature from 30 degrees C to 70 degrees C ...

Protein-facilitated base flipping in DNA by cytosine-5-methyltransferase [PDF]
DNA methylation, various DNA repair mechanisms, and possibly early events in the opening of DNA as required for transcription and replication are initiated by flipping of a DNA base out of the DNA double helix. The energetics and structural mechanism of base flipping in the presence of the DNA-processing enzyme, cytosine 5 ...

Human Amniocytes Are Receptive to Chemically Induced Reprogramming to Pluripotency [PDF]
Restoring pluripotency using chemical compounds alone would be a major step forward in developing clinical-grade pluripotent stem cells, but this has not yet been reported in human cells.
