Prophage Activation Triggers Extracellular Synthesis of DNA in Bacterial Biofilms via Rolling Circle Replication

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Shewanella oneidensis and Bacillus subtilis, both harboring prophages, reveal a novel biosynthetic route to scalable and programmable DNA superstructures in flower‐ and wire‐like shapes, respectively. Activation of prophages is achieved via 3‐hour starvation and monitored using reporter strains.

Guanine nucleotides modulate the ligand binding properties of cell surface folate receptors in Dictyostelium discoideum [PDF]

, 1985
Dictyostelium discoideum cells show 2 distinct classes of cell surface binding sites for folates. One type is non-specific, i.e., binds folic acid (FA), 2-deaminofolic acid (DAFA), and methotrexate (MTX) with similar affinity (K0.5 ⋍ 140 nM).

A Pentaradial and Bilateral Combined Photoreception System in the Sea Cucumber is Mediated by a Blue Light‐Sensitive R‐Opsin

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota detects blue and adjacent wavelengths of light via an r‐opsin with a maximum absorption at 459 nm. In the oral tentacles, papillae, and tube feet, distinct light‐sensing structures with specialized morphologies are formed, constituting a unique pentaradial and bilateral combined photoreception system.

Live-cell analysis of IMPDH protein levels during yeast colony growth provides insights into the regulation of GTP synthesis

mBio
The purine nucleotides ATP and GTP are made from the common precursor inosine monophosphate (IMP). Maintaining the correct balance of these nucleotides for optimal cell growth is controlled in part by the enzyme IMP dehydrogenase (IMPDH), which catalyzes

lnteraction of ribonuclease F1 with various guanine nucleotides as studied by differential absorption spectra

, 2009
lnteraction of various guanine and related nucleotides with ribonuclease Fl was studied by means of difference absorption spectra. Spectrophotometric titrations were carried out on a total of 16 nucleotides which were classined into three groups; (A ...

Enhancing Maturation of Human Neuromuscular Organoids via Electrical Stimulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A framework for on‐demand and non‐invasive exposure of human neuromuscular organoids (NMOs) to electrical stimuli is established to promote their maturation. The robustness and effectiveness of different stimulation regimes are evaluated via thorough characterization of organoid tissue structure and contraction capacity. Chronic electrical stimulation,

Guanine nucleotide biosynthesis blockade impairs MLL complex formation and sensitizes leukemias to menin inhibition

Nature Communications
Targeting the dependency of MLL-rearranged (MLLr) leukemias on menin with small molecule inhibitors has opened new therapeutic strategies for these poor-prognosis diseases.

Guanine nucleotides in the meiotic maturation of starfish oocytes: regulation of the actin cytoskeleton and of Ca(2+) signaling. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND:Starfish oocytes are arrested at the first prophase of meiosis until they are stimulated by 1-methyladenine (1-MA). The two most immediate responses to the maturation-inducing hormone are the quick release of intracellular Ca(2+) and the ...

Compartmentation of guanine nucleotide precursors for DNA synthesis [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1986
We have studied the kinetics of guanine incorporation into DNA in mouse T-lymphoma (S-49) mutant cells [PNPase (purine-nucleoside phosphorylase)- and HGPRTase (hypoxanthine: guanine phosphoribosyltransferase)-deficient] that are incapable of converting dGuo (deoxyguanosine) to Gua (guanine) ribonucleotides. Of the two possible pathways for an exogenous
