Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

The Electronic Property Differences between dA::dG and dA::dGoxo. A Theoretical Approach
Molecules, 2020 The dA::dGoxo pair appearing in nucleic ds-DNA can lead to a mutation in the genetic information. Depending on the dGoxo source, an AT→GC and GC→AC transversion might be observed.

DNA Repair by Reversal of DNA Damage [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2013 Endogenous and exogenous factors constantly challenge cellular DNA, generating cytotoxic and/or mutagenic DNA adducts. As a result, organisms have evolved different mechanisms to defend against the deleterious effects of DNA damage. Among these diverse repair pathways, direct DNA-repair systems provide cells with simple yet efficient solutions to ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

Cells, 2020 Approximately 3 × 1017 DNA damage events take place per hour in the human body. Within clustered DNA lesions, they pose a serious problem for repair proteins, especially for iron−sulfur glycosylases (MutyH), which can recognize them by the ...

Hyperosmotic stress induces PARP1‐mediated HPF1‐dependent mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Sorbitol‐induced hyperosmotic stress rapidly induces reversible mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation (MARylation) on PARP1 without the signs of genotoxic signaling. We show that PARP1 autoMARylation is HPF1 dependent and forms hydroxylamine‐resistant O‐glycosidic linkages.

Specialized interfaces of Smc5/6 control hinge stability and DNA association
Nature Communications, 2017 Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes (SMC) complexes maintain genome integrity by regulating the segregation of chromosomes. Here, Altet al. describe the structure of the heterodimeric Smc5/6-hinge from fission yeast and define functional features ...

, 2004 Author(s): Guliaev, Anton B.; Singer, B. | Abstract: Alkylation is the reaction of electrophilic chemical compounds or alkylating agents with the nucleophilic centers in organic macromolecules. Alkylating agents include a large variety of chemicals, some of which are potent mutagens or carcinogens.

DNA Damage, Mutagenesis, and DNA Repair [PDF]
Journal of Nucleic Acids, 2010 This special issue of the Journal of Nucleic Acids is dedicated to DNA damage and two important biological consequences provoked by such damage: lesion repair and lesion-induced mutagenesis. These phenomena have attracted broad interest among a large community of scientists that cross disciplines from mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology to ...
