Quantifying complexity in DNA structures with high resolution Atomic Force Microscopy
Nature CommunicationsDNA topology is essential for regulating cellular processes and maintaining genome stability, yet it is challenging to quantify due to the size and complexity of topologically constrained DNA molecules.

Molecular characterization of covRS mutations in M1UK Streptococcus pyogenes
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Group A Streptococcus (GAS) acquires covRS mutations driving a hypervirulent bacterial state, frequently associated with invasive disease‐like necrotizing fasciitis. We demonstrate that the newly emerged M1UK GAS lineage can also acquire these mutations.

The unique DNA topology and DNA topoisomerases of hyperthermophilic archaea [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 1996 Hyperthermophilic archaea exhibit a unique pattern of DNA topoisomerase activities. They have a peculiar enzyme, reverse gyrase, which introduces positive superturns into DNA at the expense of ATP. This enzyme has been found in all hyperthermophiles tested so far (including Bacteria) but never in mesophiles.

Importin 7 mediates the nuclear import of HIV‐1 integrase via a specific interacting interface
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.HIV‐1 integrase enables viral DNA integration into the host genome. By binding to the core domain of the host protein Importin 7 via its C‐terminal domain, the integrase is transported across the nuclear membrane into the nucleus, where integration of the viral genome into host DNA takes place. This translocation is a critical step for subsequent viral

Increasing the activity of DNAzyme based on the telomeric sequence: 2’-OMe-RNA and LNA modifications
Open Chemistry, 2019 2’-OMe-RNA analogues and LNA point modifications of DNA oligonucleotides were applied for the modulation of the G-quadruplex topology and enhancement of peroxidase activity of the resulting DNAzymes.

A Depolarizing Leak in Sodium Bicarbonate Cotransporter NBCe1 Causes Brain Edema
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objectives SLC4A4 encodes electrogenic sodium bicarbonate cotransporter NBCe1, prominently expressed in kidney and brain. Recessive loss‐of‐function variants in SLC4A4 cause proximal renal tubular acidosis, no brain edema. In the brain, NBCe1 is expressed by astrocytes, where it regulates pH and mediates astrocyte volume changes.

A benzothiazolium salt fluorophore for topology-specific discrimination of non-B DNA structures
Results in ChemistryAccurate detection of non-B DNA structures remains challenging yet critical for understanding their roles in gene regulation, genome stability, and disease mechanisms.

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Variants in SLC6A1, encoding the GABA transporter 1 (GAT‐1), cause epilepsy, autism spectrum disorder, and developmental delay via loss of GABA uptake, impaired trafficking, and ER retention. We previously found that 4‐Phenylbutyrate (PBA), an FDA‐approved drug, restores GABA uptake and reduces seizures in SLC6A1‐related disorders ...

Reversal of terminal differentiation and control of DNA replication [PDF]
, 1993 DNA replication in mammalian cells occurs in discrete nuclear foci. Here we show that terminally differentiated myotubes can be induced to reenter S phase and show the same pattern of replication foci as cycling cells.
