FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The protonated form of butyrate, as well as other short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs), is membrane permeable. In acidic extracellular environments, this can lead to intracellular accumulation of SCFAs and cytosolic acidification. This phenomenon will be particularly relevant in acidic environments such as the large intestine or tumor microenvironments ...

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.The enzyme 5‐lipoxygenase (5‐LOX) catalyzes the first step in the biosynthesis of leukotrienes (LTs) involved in inflammatory pathophysiology. After cellular stimulation, 5‐LOX translocates to the nucleus, interacting with the 5‐LOX‐activating protein (FLAP) to form LTA4 from arachidonic acid (AA).

DNA damage and carcinogenesis [PDF]
, 1980 A number of independent lines of evidence, other than cell biology ones, support the somatic mutation theory of cancer. They indicate that damage to DNA can lead to cancer and hence one should be concerned about environmental agents that react with DNA.

Oxyradicals and DNA damage [PDF]
Carcinogenesis, 2000 A major development of carcinogenesis research in the past 20 years has been the discovery of significant levels of DNA damage arising from endogenous cellular sources. Dramatic improvements in analytical chemistry have provided sensitive and specific methodology for identification and quantitation of DNA adducts. Application of these techniques to the

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 ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.UDP‐glucuronic acid 4‐epimerase (UGAepi) catalyzes NAD+‐dependent interconversion of UDP‐glucuronic acid (UDP‐GlcA) and UDP‐galacturonic acid (UDP‐GalA) via C4‐oxidation, 4‐keto‐intermediate rotation, and C4‐reduction. Here, Borg et al. examined the role of the substrate's carboxylate group in the enzymic mechanism by analyzing NADH‐dependent reduction

, 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.
