Microorganisms, 2023 The aim of this work was to study the genetic diversity of the gonococcal genetic island (GGI) responsible for the type IV secretion system (T4SS) and the association of a functionally active GGI with antimicrobial resistance. An analysis of the GGI in a

Proceedings, 2020 Current antiretroviral therapy efficiently suppresses viral replication but cannot eliminate latent HIV reservoirs. Moreover, the associated high costs, side effects, and drug resistance have stimulated a need for the development of alternative methods ...

Is abundant A-to-I RNA editing primate-specific? [PDF]
Trends in Genetics, Vol. 21, 77-81 (2005), 2004 A-To-I RNA editing is common to all eukaryotes, associated with various neurological functions. Recently, A-to-I editing was found to occur abundantly in the human transcriptome. Here we show that the frequency of A-to-I editing in humans is at least an order of magnitude higher as that of mouse, rat, chicken or fly.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Low‐density lipoprotein receptor‐related protein 6 (LRP6) is a key receptor for the Wnt antagonist Dickkopf1 (DKK1). DKK1 protein expression is induced in a bleomycin (BLM)‐induced lung injury model. We show that DKK1 induces proinflammatory and profibrotic genes in lung fibroblasts.

Characteristics of the Kelch domain containing (KLHDC) subfamily and relationships with diseases
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The Kelch protein superfamily includes 63 members, with the KLHDC subfamily having 10 proteins. While their functions are not fully understood, recent advances in KLHDC2's structure and role in protein degradation have highlighted its potential for drug development, especially in PROTAC therapies.

A transient inflammatory response contributes to oxaliplatin neurotoxicity in mice
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 9, Issue 12, Page 1985-1998, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Objectives Peripheral neuropathy is a relevant dose‐limiting adverse event that can affect up to 90% of oncologic patients with colorectal cancer receiving oxaliplatin treatment. The severity of neurotoxicity often leads to dose reduction or even premature cessation of chemotherapy.

Unified theory of human genome reveals a constrained spatial chromosomal arrangement in interphase nuclei [PDF]
, 2015 We investigate a densely packed, non-random arrangement of forty-six chromosomes (46,XY) in human nuclei. Here, we model systems-level chromosomal crosstalk by unifying intrinsic parameters (chromosomal length and number of genes) across all pairs of chromosomes in the genome to derive an extrinsic parameter called effective gene density.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The NlpC_P60 superfamily of peptidases is recognised by its key role in bacterial cell wall homeostasis. Recently, studies have also described the involvement of NlpC_P60‐like enzymes in bacterial competitive mechanisms and pathogenesis across several lineages.

Expanded base editing in rice and wheat using a Cas9-adenosine deaminase fusion
Genome Biology, 2018 Nucleotide base editors in plants have been limited to conversion of cytosine to thymine. Here, we describe a new plant adenine base editor based on an evolved tRNA adenosine deaminase fused to the nickase CRISPR/Cas9, enabling A•T to G•C conversion at ...
