TOP1MT rs2293925 is an enhancer‐active regulatory SNP that shapes mitochondrial R‐loop dynamics
This study shows how a common genetic variant of mitochondrial topoisomerase 1 (TOP1MT rs2293925) can influence mitochondrial gene regulation, DNA topology, and formation of noncanonical nucleic acid structures such as R‐loops. By linking this enhancer‐active variant to mitochondrial nucleic acid stress in cellular contexts relevant to amyotrophic ...

Clonal Hematopoiesis and CAR T Cell Therapy: From Biological Crosstalk to Clinical Implications
ABSTRACT Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) is increasingly recognized as a significant biological phenomenon in aging and cancer, marked by the expansion of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells harboring somatic mutations in genes associated with myeloid neoplasms.

MYC modulates TOP2A diffusion to promote substrate detection and activity
Topoisomerases alleviate DNA supercoiling by cleaving and resealing DNA strands. Previously, we showed that the oncoprotein MYC recruits and stimulates topoisomerases to remove DNA entanglements generated by oncogenic transcription.

ABSTRACT Monitoring antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in fish pathogens is essential for supporting sustainable aquaculture. In this study, susceptibility testing and genome sequencing were used to characterize the AMR profile of seven Flavobacterium psychrophilum originating from Danish rainbow trout farms (2019–2022).

ATXR5 and ATXR6 restrict meiotic crossover formation within heterochromatin in Arabidopsis
The Arabidopsis H3K27 mono‐methyltransferases ATXR5 and ATXR6 repress crossovers within meiotic heterochromatin, are required for heterochromatin condensation and H3K27me1 establishment, and specifically influence the maintenance of DNA methylation in meiocytes.

Cell‐Specific Expression and Cellular Compartmental Regulation in Camptothecin Biosynthesis
ABSTRACT Plant secondary metabolites such as monoterpenoid indole alkaloids (MIAs) show tightly regulated biosynthesis and accumulation in specific organelles of distinct cell types. However, the cell‐specific expression patterns of anticancer MIA camptothecin biosynthetic genes in Ophiorrhiza pumila and the regulatory mechanisms of camptothecin ...

RAD51 and RAD51 paralog inhibition sensitizes nonreplicating quiescent keratinocytes to UV radiation
UV radiation and other compounds generate DNA adducts that block transcription and induce cell death if not removed by the nucleotide excision repair system. In this work, we used a small‐scale pharmacological screen to discover that inhibition of the recombinase RAD51 sensitized nonreplicating quiescent keratinocytes to both UVR and other agents that ...

Antibiotic‐mediated immune modulation in periodontitis
Abstract Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the supporting structures of the teeth. Although initiated by dysbiotic microbial communities, its progression is largely driven by the host's uncontrolled inflammatory response. While antibiotics have conventionally been employed in periodontitis therapy for their antimicrobial ...
