Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the

The insertion of a mitochondrial selfish element into the nuclear genome and its consequences

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Homing endonucleases (HE) are enzymes capable of cutting DNA at highly specific target sequences, the repair of the generated double‐strand break resulting in the insertion of the HE‐encoding gene (“homing” mechanism).

Complete mitochondrial genome of the endangered Prunus pedunculata (Prunoideae, Rosaceae) in China: characterization and phylogenetic analysis

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
IntroductionPrunus pedunculata (Prunoideae: Rosaceae), a relic shrub with strong resistance and multiple application values, is endangered in China. Extensive research had been devoted to gene expression, molecular markers, plastid genome analysis, and ...

Endosymbiotic Gene Transfer and Transcriptional Regulation of Transferred Genes in Paulinella chromatophora [PDF]

Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2010
Paulinella chromatophora is a cercozoan amoeba that contains "chromatophores," which are photosynthetic inclusions of cyanobacterial origin. The recent discovery that chromatophores evolved independently of plastids, underwent major genome reduction, and transferred at least two genes to the host nucleus has highlighted P.

Characterization of Ku70(2)-NLS as bipartite nuclear localization sequence for non-viral gene delivery. [PDF]

, 2012
Several barriers have to be overcome in order to achieve gene expression in target cells, e.g. cellular uptake, endosomal release and translocation to the nucleus.

The human gut microbiome across the life course

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

The magnetofection method: Using magnetic force to enhance gene delivery [PDF]

, 2003
In order to enhance and target gene delivery we have previously established a novel method, termed magnetofection, which uses magnetic force acting on gene vectors that are associated with magnetic particles.

Septin 9 PB domains coordinate centrosome positioning and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...

Rab14 regulates the transport of human papillomavirus to the trans‐Golgi network for infectious cell entry

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals that the small GTPase Rab14 is necessary for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and plays an essential role in the transport of virions to the trans‐Golgi network (TGN). HPV in the early endosome (EE), which harbors GTP‐bound Rab14, is transported to the TGN through the switch of Rab14 from its GTP‐bound to GDP‐bound form.
