Altered Conformational Landscape upon Sensing Guanine Nucleotides in a Disease Mutant of Elongation Factor-like 1 (EFL1) GTPase [PDF]
The final maturation step of the 60S ribosomal subunit requires the release of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 6 (human eIF6, yeast Tif6) to enter the pool of mature ribosomes capable of engaging in translation.

Different effects of guanine nucleotides (GDP and GTP) on protein-mediated mitochondrial proton leak. [PDF]
In this study, we compared the influence of GDP and GTP on isolated mitochondria respiring under conditions favoring oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and under conditions excluding this process, i.e., in the presence of carboxyatractyloside, an adenine

Determination of the Global Pattern of Gene Expression in Yeast Cells by Intracellular Levels of Guanine Nucleotides [PDF]
Correlations between gene transcription and the abundance of high-energy purine nucleotides in Saccharomyces cerevisiae have often been noted. However, there has been no systematic investigation of this phenomenon in the absence of confounding factors ...

Guanine nucleotide biosynthesis blockade impairs MLL complex formation and sensitizes leukemias to menin inhibition [PDF]
Targeting the dependency of MLL-rearranged (MLLr) leukemias on menin with small molecule inhibitors has opened new therapeutic strategies for these poor-prognosis diseases.

Novel Mutation at Cys225 in GNAO1‐Associated Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathies: Clinical, Molecular, and Pharmacological Profiling of Case Studies [PDF]
GNAO1‐associated disorders have a large spectrum of neurological symptoms, from early‐onset developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEE) to late‐onset movement disorders. First reported in 2013 and now identified in around 400 cases worldwide, this

A single nucleotide polymorphism produces different transcription profiles in Campylobacter jejuni’s cysM [PDF]
A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the 126 bp untranslated region (UTR) directly upstream of Campylobacter jejuni’s cysM (cysteine synthase) results in significant effects on gene transcription.

Novel riboswitch ligand analogs as selective inhibitors of guanine-related metabolic pathways. [PDF]
Riboswitches are regulatory elements modulating gene expression in response to specific metabolite binding. It has been recently reported that riboswitch agonists may exhibit antimicrobial properties by binding to the riboswitch domain.

Probing the microscopic structure and flexibility of oxidized DNA by molecular simulations [PDF]
The oxidative damage of DNA is a compelling issue in molecular biophysics as it plays a vital role in the epigenetic control of gene expression and is believed to be associated with mutagenesis, carcinogenesis, and ageing. To understand the microscopic structural changes in physical properties of DNA and the resulting influence on its function due to ...
