Comparative Genomics of Lactococcus spp. From Global Aquaculture Outbreaks Reveals Virulence Determinants, Antibiotic Resistance, and Phage Defence Mechanisms. [PDF]
Lactococcus petauri predominated in isolates from outbreaks of lactococcosis, suggesting a shift in disease aetiology. Genomic analysis revealed diverse virulence factors, prophage and resistance genes, while antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed uniform resistance to common antibiotics found in farming systems, emphasising the need for ...

A eubacterial origin for the human tRNA nucleotidyltransferase? [PDF]
tRNA CCA-termini are generated and maintained by tRNA nucleotidyltransferases. Together with poly(A) polymerases and other enzymes they belong to the nucleotidyltransferase superfamily.

Sequence motifs that distinguish ATP(CTP) : tRNA nucleotidyl transferases from eubacterial poly(A) polymerases [PDF]
ATP(CTP):tRNA nucleotidyl transferases, tRNA maturing enzymes found in all organisms, and eubacterial poly(A) polymerases, enzymes involved in mRNA degradation, are so similar that until now their biochemical functions could not be distinguished by their

The Role and Therapeutic Potential of the cGAS-STING Signaling Pathway in Alzheimer's Disease. [PDF]
This work reveals the relationship between the cGAS‐STING signaling pathway and the pathological mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease.The role of the cGAS‐STING signaling pathway in AD pathology. AD leads to the production of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and the release of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and nuclear ...

Primase-polymerases are a functionally diverse superfamily of replication and repair enzymes [PDF]
Until relatively recently, DNA primases were viewed simply as a class of proteins that synthesize short RNA primers requisite for the initiation of DNA replication.

The aminoglycosides are highly effective broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents. However, their efficacy is diminished due to enzyme-mediated covalent modification, which reduces affinity of the drug for the target ribosome.

NF45 dimerizes with NF90, Zfr and SPNR via a conserved domain that has a nucleotidyltransferase fold [PDF]
Nuclear factors NF90 and NF45 form a complex involved in a variety of cellular processes and are thought to affect gene expression both at the transcriptional and translational level.

MINTmap: fast and exhaustive profiling of nuclear and mitochondrial tRNA fragments from short RNA-seq data. [PDF]
Transfer RNA fragments (tRFs) are an established class of constitutive regulatory molecules that arise from precursor and mature tRNAs. RNA deep sequencing (RNA-seq) has greatly facilitated the study of tRFs.
