Domain orientation in the RNA helicase YxiN and the role of conformational changes for RNA unwinding [PDF]

, 2010
The RNA helicase YxiN from Bacillus subtilis is a member of the family of DEAD box proteins. YxiN is able to unwind RNA double strands in an ATP-dependent manner. The ability to catalyse RNA rearrangement is in vivo presumably necessary for the bacterial

Disruption of the SNRPF–DDX24–E2F4 Feedback Loop Uncouples Splicing and Transcriptional Regulation to Suppress Ovarian Cancer Progression

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies SNRPF as a critical oncogenic driver in ovarian cancer. By regulating a self‐sustaining SNRPF–DDX24–E2F4 feedback loop through intron retention and nonsense‐mediated decay, SNRPF couples RNA splicing with transcriptional regulation to promote tumor progression.

Structural basis of the T4 bacteriophage primosome assembly and primer synthesis

Nature Communications, 2023
The T4 bacteriophage gp41 helicase and gp61 primase assemble into a primosome to couple DNA unwinding with RNA primer synthesis for DNA replication. How the primosome is assembled and how the primer length is defined are unclear.

Crystal structure of the UvrB dimer: insights into the nature and functioning of the UvrAB damage engagement and UvrB-DNA complexes [PDF]

, 2012
UvrB has a central role in the highly conserved UvrABC pathway functioning not only as a damage recognition element but also as an essential component of the lesion tracking machinery.

The Host Cell Factor Phosphatase‐2A Subunit PR130 Restricts Replication of Herpes Simplex Virus Type‐1

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Molecular, genetic, virological, and biochemical analysis in combination with global proteome and phosphoproteome profiling and functional assays were applied to study the role of PR130 in the context of HSV‐1 replication. The observations reveal that host‐intrinsic mechanisms regulate HSV‐1 replication and highlight PR130 as a susceptibility factor of

Mechanism of DNA loading by the DNA repair helicase XPD [PDF]

Nucleic Acids Research, 2016
The xeroderma pigmentosum group D (XPD) helicase is a component of the transcription factor IIH complex in eukaryotes and plays an essential role in DNA repair in the nucleotide excision repair pathway. XPD is a 5' to 3' helicase with an essential iron-sulfur cluster.

Differential Requirements for MCM Proteins in DNA Replication in Drosophila S2 Cells. [PDF]

, 2007
BACKGROUND: The MCM2-7 proteins are crucial components of the pre replication complex (preRC) in eukaryotes. Since they are significantly more abundant than other preRC components, we were interested in determining whether the entire cellular content was

SETD1A Regulates Glycolysis and Senescence of Nucleus Pulposus Cells via H3K4me3–HELZ2/PPARα‐HIF1α Axis to Drive Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
SETD1A is a key epigenetic regulator in NPCs during IDD. In normal NPCs, it sustains H3K4me3–HELZ2/PPARα–HIF1α signaling to maintain glycolytic energy metabolism and proliferation. In degenerated NPCs, reduced SETD1A disrupts this axis, impairing glycolysis and accelerating senescence, highlighting a promising therapeutic target for IDD.

Helicase: A genetic tool for providing stress tolerance in plants

Plant Stress, 2023
Alteration of stress (abiotic and biotic) constitutes one of the major problems for normal plants health. In the present scenario, new molecular tools are broadly utilized to improve stress tolerance and high-yielding crop plants.
