A Hyperthermophilic Argonaute From Ferroglobus placidus With Specificity on Guide Binding Pattern

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Argonaute proteins (Agos) from thermophilic archaea are involved in several important processes, such as host defense and DNA replication. The catalytic mechanism of Ago from different microbes with great diversity and genome editing potential is ...

Single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assays for high‐throughput DNA–protein interaction studies

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We describe an optimised single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assay that visualises DNA–protein interactions in real time. Linear DNA fragments are tethered to a surface and stretched by buffer flow for fluorescence imaging. Using λ and φX174 DNA, this protocol enhances reproducibility and accessibility, providing a versatile approach for studying diverse ...

TBK1‐Associated Primary Lateral Sclerosis Followed by Right Temporal Variant Frontotemporal Dementia

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We report a 58‐year‐old woman with a novel splice‐site variant in the TANK‐binding kinase 1 (TBK1:c.993–2A>C p.Ala332TyrfsTer39) who sequentially developed primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) followed by right temporal variant frontotemporal dementia (rtvFTD). Neuroimaging demonstrated right anterior temporal atrophy before cognitive symptoms, and

Methionine Restriction Differentially Modulates Expression of Genes in the Base Excision Repair Pathway in Rat Brain and Liver

Biomolecules
Methionine restriction (MetR) is a dietary intervention that extends mean and maximum life span in rodents, at least in part, by reducing oxidative stress and promoting DNA stability in different tissues. Regarding DNA stability, DNA repair pathways play

Assembling a True “Olympic Gel” From over 16 000 Combinatorial DNA Rings

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Olympic gels are an elusive class of soft matter, consisting of molecular networks held together purely by mechanically interlocked rings. Their topological structure promises unique properties and functions, but their synthesis has proven notoriously difficult.

Development of FRET-based cap-snatching endonuclease assay

Microbiology Spectrum
The order Bunyavirales consists of over 300 species of segmented, negative-strand RNA viruses. These viruses have a tri-segmented genome (S, M, and L segments) that encodes the nucleocapsid protein (N protein), glycoprotein precursor, and RNA-dependent ...

The Diversity of Ribonuclease P: Protein and RNA Catalysts with Analogous Biological Functions

Biomolecules, 2016
Ribonuclease P (RNase P) is an essential endonuclease responsible for catalyzing 5’ end maturation in precursor transfer RNAs. Since its discovery in the 1970s, RNase P enzymes have been identified and studied throughout the three domains of life ...
