Conserved Endonuclease Function of Hantavirus L Polymerase
Hantaviruses are important emerging pathogens belonging to the Bunyaviridae family. Like other segmented negative strand RNA viruses, the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) also known as L protein of hantaviruses lacks an intrinsic “capping activity ...

Plant-RRBS, a bisulfite and next-generation sequencing-based methylome profiling method enriching for coverage of cytosine positions [PDF]
Background: Cytosine methylation in plant genomes is important for the regulation of gene transcription and transposon activity. Genome-wide methylomes are studied upon mutation of the DNA methyltransferases, adaptation to environmental stresses or ...

DNA binding shifts the redox potential of the transcription factor SoxR [PDF]
Electrochemistry measurements on DNA-modified electrodes are used to probe the effects of binding to DNA on the redox potential of SoxR, a transcription factor that contains a [2Fe-2S] cluster and is activated through oxidation. A DNA-bound potential of +

Evidence That the DNA Endonuclease ARTEMIS also Has Intrinsic 5′-Exonuclease Activity*
Background: DNA-PKcs stimulates the endonucleolytic activities of ARTEMIS but not the 5′-exonuclease activity. Results: Point mutagenesis, small molecule inhibitors, and modulation of divalent cation concentrations all affect both the endonuclease and 5′-

Chapter 9 Gene Drive Strategies for Population Replacement [PDF]
Gene drive systems are selfish genetic elements capable of spreading into a population despite a fitness cost. A variety of these systems have been proposed for spreading disease-refractory genes into mosquito populations, thus reducing their ability to ...

Endonuclease G from mammalian nuclei is identical to the major endonuclease of mitochondria
Two Mg(2+)-dependent DNA endonucleases have been isolated from mammalian cells which have a strong preference to nick within long tracts of guanine residues in vitro. One endonuclease activity is mitochondrial (mt). The other endonuclease, called Endonuclease G, is associated with isolated nuclei, and is released when the nuclear chromatin is exposed ...
