The bacterial RNA polymerase-associated CarD protein couples promoter activity to DNA supercoiling

Nature Communications
RNA polymerase (RNAP) must unwind duplex DNA prior to transcription initiation. In bacteria, unwinding starts at a DNA motif called the promoter −10 element. Specifically, non-template strand bases interact with RNAP to trigger the process.

Chili pepper extracts, capsaicin, and dihydrocapsaicin as potential anticancer agents targeting topoisomerases

BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies
DNA topoisomerases regulate conformational changes in DNA topology during normal cell growth, such as replication, transcription, recombination, and repair, and may be targeted for anticancer drugs.

H2A.Z-nucleosomes are stabilized by the superhelicity-dependent DNA binding of the C-terminal tail of the histone variant

Nucleus
Using an in situ nucleosome stability assay based on salt extraction, we identified distinct stability features of H2A.Z-containing nucleosomes linked to alternative interactions of the histone variant’s C-terminal tail (Imre et al., Nat. Commun., 2024).

Molecular Mimics: How Viral Genomes Dupe Their Host by Usurping CTCF to Establish Infection

Viruses
The eukaryotic genome is organized into distinct structural units dictated by architectural proteins. The major host architectural protein CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) is usurped by DNA viruses to regulate viral gene expression.
