Length-independent DNA packing into nanopore zero-mode waveguides for low-input DNA sequencing [PDF]
, 2017 Compared with conventional methods, single-molecule real-time (SMRT) DNA sequencing exhibits longer read lengths than conventional methods, less GC bias, and the ability to read DNA base modifications.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Fluorescence-Based, High-Throughput DNA Polymerase Assay
BioTechniques, 2002 The commonly used DNA polymerase assay is based on the detection of incorporated radiolabeled nucleotides in a DNA elongation reaction. It is laborious, radioactive, and can be highly variable.

Polymerase manager protein UmuD directly regulates Escherichia coli DNA polymerase III α binding to ssDNA [PDF]
, 2013 Replication by Escherichia coli DNA polymerase III is disrupted on encountering DNA damage. Consequently, specialized Y-family DNA polymerases are used to bypass DNA damage. The protein UmuD is extensively involved in modulating cellular responses to DNA

CCT4 promotes tunneling nanotube formation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) are membranous tunnel‐like structures that transport molecules and organelles between cells. They vary in thickness, and thick nanotubes often contain microtubules in addition to actin fibers. We found that cells expressing monomeric CCT4 generate many thick TNTs with tubulin.

Hamster leukemia virus: lack of endogenous DNA synthesis and unique structure of its DNA polymerase [PDF]
, 1974 Infectious hamster leukemia virus (HaLV) contains a DNA polymerase different from those of murine and avian viruses. No endogenous reaction directed by the 60 to 70S RNA of HaLV could be demonstrated in detergenttreated HaLV virions, nor could the ...

Rad27/FEN1 prevents accumulation of Okazaki fragments and ribosomal DNA copy number changes
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The budding yeast Rad27 is a structure‐specific endonuclease. Here, the authors reveal that Rad27 is crucial for maintaining the stability of the ribosomal RNA gene (rDNA) region. Rad27 deficiency leads to the accumulation of Okazaki fragments and changes in rDNA copy number.

Changes in the nuclear distribution of DNA polymerase alpha and PCNA/cyclin during the progress of the cell cycle, in a cell-free extract of Xenopus eggs [PDF]
, 1989 The nuclear distribution of DNA polymerase alpha and PCNA/cyclin in embryonic nuclei has been investigated, in a cell-free extract of Xenopus eggs that recapitulates a basic cell-cycle in vitro, by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy.

Inhibition of RNA polymerase II transcription in human cells by synthetic DNA-binding ligands [PDF]
, 1998 Sequence-specific DNA-binding small molecules that can permeate human cells potentially could regulate transcription of specific genes. Multiple cellular DNA-binding transcription factors are required by HIV type 1 for RNA synthesis.

A Cre‐dependent lentiviral vector for neuron subtype‐specific expression of large proteins
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We designed a versatile and modular lentivector comprising a Cre‐dependent switch and self‐cleaving 2A peptide and tested it for co‐expression of GFP and a 2.8 kb gene of interest (GOI) in mouse cortical parvalbumin (PV+) interneurons and midbrain dopamine (TH+) neurons.
