Expression of catalytic mutants of the mtDNA helicase Twinkle and polymerase POLG causes distinct replication stalling phenotypes. [PDF]
, 2007 The mechanism of mitochondrial DNA replication is a subject of intense debate. One model proposes a strand-asynchronous replication in which both strands of the circular genome are replicated semi-independently while the other model proposes both a ...

The Role of miRNAs in Chicken Immune Regulation and Prospects for Disease‐Resistant Breeding
Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.A schematic workflow illustrating the screening of disease‐resistant miRNAs and the generation of miRNA‐based disease‐resistant chickens via PGC‐mediated germline genome editing. ABSTRACT MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging as pivotal regulators of the immune system, playing a decisive role in shaping disease resistance in chicken.

DciA is an ancestral replicative helicase operator essential for bacterial replication initiation
Nature Communications, 2016 DNA replication requires the loading of the replicative helicase onto the DNA molecule; in bacteria this was believed to be solely accomplished by DnaC and DnaI.

A conserved MCM single-stranded DNA binding element is essential for replication initiation
eLife, 2014 The ring-shaped MCM helicase is essential to all phases of DNA replication. The complex loads at replication origins as an inactive double-hexamer encircling duplex DNA.

Unwinding and Rewinding: Double Faces of Helicase?
Journal of Nucleic Acids, 2012 Helicases are enzymes that use ATP-driven motor force to unwind double-stranded DNA or RNA. Recently, increasing evidence demonstrates that some helicases also possess rewinding activity—in other words, they can anneal two complementary single-stranded ...

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.Objective The association between skeletal muscle gene expression and knee osteoarthritis (OA) was examined among older adult participants of the Study of Muscle, Mobility and Aging (SOMMA). Methods Inclusion criteria included knee radiographs and bulk RNA sequencing in vastus lateralis muscle, resulting in 523 participants (56% female).

Structural and functional investigation of DinG containing a 3′–5′ exonuclease domain
mBioDamage-inducible gene G (DinG), a bacterial homolog of SF2 helicase, has been extensively studied in Escherichia coli. However, the structural and functional characteristics of DinG homologs fused with an N-terminal 3′–5′ exonuclease domain, such as ...

DNA helicases involved in DNA repair and their roles in cancer [PDF]
Nature Reviews Cancer, 2013 Helicases have major roles in genome maintenance by unwinding structured nucleic acids. Their prominence is marked by various cancers and genetic disorders that are linked to helicase defects. Although considerable effort has been made to understand the functions of DNA helicases that are important for genomic stability and cellular homeostasis, the ...

ruvA Mutants that resolve Holliday junctions but do not reverse replication forks [PDF]
, 2008 RuvAB and RuvABC complexes catalyze branch migration and resolution of Holliday junctions (HJs) respectively. In addition to their action in the last steps of homologous recombination, they process HJs made by replication fork reversal, a reaction which ...
