DNA methylation in chromatin - complexes and mechanisms

open access: yes, 2010
The DNA in the eukaryotic genome is packaged into chromatin whose basic repeating unit is the nucleosome consisting of 147bp of DNA wrapped around an octameric histone core.

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

An in vitro DNA phosphorothioate modification reaction [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, 2019
AbstractPhosphorothioation (PT) involves the replacement of a nonbridging phosphate oxygen on the DNA backbone with sulfur. In bacteria, the procedure is both sequence‐ and stereo‐specific. We reconstituted the PT reaction using purified DndCDE from Salmonella enterica and IscS from Escherichia coli.

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Development of Methods Derived from Iodine-Induced Specific Cleavage for Identification and Quantitation of DNA Phosphorothioate Modifications

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
DNA phosphorothioate (PT) modification is a novel modification that occurs on the DNA backbone, which refers to a non-bridging phosphate oxygen replaced by sulfur.

Interactions of DNA with a new Platinum(IV) Azide Dipyridine complex activated by UVA and visible light : relationship to toxicity in tumor cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The Pt IV diazido complex trans,trans,trans-[Pt(N 3) 2(OH) 2(pyridine) 2] (1) is unreactive in the dark but is cytotoxic when photoactivated by UVA and visible light.

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

DNA Methylation Modification Patterns Identify Distinct Prognosis and Responses to Immunotherapy and Targeted Therapy in Renal Cell Carcinoma

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2023
Background: Considering the remarkable heterogeneity of biological features of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), the current clinical classification that only relies on classic clinicopathological features is in urgent need of improvement.

Mapping DNA Methylation in Mammals: The State of the Art

open access: yes, 2021
A complete understanding of the dynamics and function of cytosine modifications in mammalian biology is lacking. Central to achieving this understanding is the availability of techniques that permit sensitive and specific genome-wide mapping of DNA ...

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.
