Novel genome-editing tools to model and correct primary immunodeficiencies
Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) and other severe non-SCID primary immunodeficiencies (non-SCID PID) can be treated by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, but when HLA-matched donors are lacking, this can be a high-risk procedure ...

Saturated free fatty acids and apoptosis in microvascular mesangial cells: palmitate activates pro-apoptotic signaling involving caspase 9 and mitochondrial release of endonuclease G [PDF]
BACKGROUND: In type 2 diabetes, free fatty acids (FFA) accumulate in microvascular cells, but the phenotypic consequences of FFA accumulation in the microvasculature are incompletely understood. Here we investigated whether saturated FFA induce apoptosis

Human MutLγ, the MLH1–MLH3 heterodimer, is an endonuclease that promotes DNA expansion
Significance Triplet repeat expansion causes multiple neurological disorders, but the mechanisms of triplet repeat expansion are not well understood.

DNA interrogation by the CRISPR RNA-guided endonuclease Cas9
The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-associated enzyme Cas9 is an RNA-guided endonuclease that uses RNA–DNA base-pairing to target foreign DNA in bacteria.

Discovery of macrocyclic inhibitors of apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 [PDF]
Apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) is an essential base excision repair enzyme that is upregulated in a number of cancers, contributes to resistance of tumors treated with DNA-alkylating or -oxidizing agents, and has recently been identified as ...

Introns interrupt the continuity of many eukaryal genes, and therefore their removal by splicing is a crucial step in gene expression. Interestingly, even within Eukarya there are at least four splicing mechanisms.

IRE1β negatively regulates IRE1α signaling in response to endoplasmic reticulum stress [PDF]
IRE1β is an ER stress sensor uniquely expressed in epithelial cells lining mucosal surfaces. Here, we show that intestinal epithelial cells expressing IRE1β have an attenuated unfolded protein response to ER stress.

Dna2 is a structure-specific nuclease, with affinity for 5'-flap intermediates [PDF]
Dna2 is a nuclease/helicase with proposed roles in DNA replication, double-strand break repair and telomere maintenance. For each role Dna2 is proposed to process DNA substrates with a 5'-flap.
