Structural basis of Zika virus helicase in recognizing its substrates

Protein & Cell, 2016
The recent explosive outbreak of Zika virus (ZIKV) infection has been reported in South and Central America and the Caribbean. Neonatal microcephaly associated with ZIKV infection has already caused a public health emergency of international concern.

Transcriptional profiling of colicin-induced cell death of Escherichia coli MG1655 identifies potential mechanisms by which bacteriocins promote bacterial diversity [PDF]

, 2004
We report the transcriptional response of Escherichia coli MG1655 to damage induced by colicins E3 and E9, bacteriocins that kill cells through inactivation of the ribosome and degradation of chromosomal DNA, respectively. Colicin E9 strongly induced the

Clinical Insights From a Case of Sifrim‐Hitz‐Weiss Syndrome With a CHD4 Variant: Expanding the Phenotypic Spectrum and Its Response to Growth Hormone Therapy

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To enhance clinicians' understanding of Sifrim‐Hitz‐Weiss syndrome (SIHIWES), this study investigated the clinical phenotypes, genetic characteristics, and response to growth hormone therapy in a patient. A case of a patient with global developmental delay and distinctive facial features is presented.

Extreme Kinetic Stability and RNase Resistance of Human Telomerase RNA G‐Quadruplexes Overcome by DHX36 Helicase

Advanced Science
RNA G‐quadruplexes (G4s) formed at the 5′‐end of the RNA component of human telomerase (hTR) are known to directly affect telomerase activity. However, the unfolding kinetics of hTR1–18 G4s at physiological K+ conditions have not been analyzed due to ...

Dissociation of Rad51 Presynaptic Complexes and Heteroduplex DNA Joints by Tandem Assemblies of Srs2

Cell Reports, 2017
Srs2 is a superfamily 1 (SF1) helicase and antirecombinase that is required for genome integrity. However, the mechanisms that regulate Srs2 remain poorly understood.

Biallelic Germline Inactivation of HROB Causes Primary Gonadal Insufficiency and is Potentially Associated with Colonic Polyposis Predisposition

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Homologous Recombination Factor With OB‐Fold (HROB) plays a role in homologous recombination and DNA replication, where it enhances the MCM8‐MCM9 helicase complex activity. Recent findings link biallelic germline HROB variants to primary gonadal insufficiency (hypergonadotropic hypogonadism), a phenotype also associated with MCM8/MCM9 ...

Helicases at Work: The Importance of Nucleic Acids Unwinding Under Cold Stress

DNA
Separation of duplex strands of nucleic acids is a vital process in the nucleic acid metabolism and survival of all living organisms. Helicases are defined as enzymes that are intended to unwind the double-stranded nucleic acids.

Velocity and processivity of helicase unwinding of double-stranded nucleic acids

, 2005
Helicases are molecular motors which unwind double-stranded nucleic acids (dsNA) in cells. Many helicases move with directional bias on single-stranded (ss) nucleic acids, and couple their directional translocation to strand separation.

ATPase mechanism of the 5'-3' DNA helicase, RecD2: evidence for a pre-hydrolysis conformation change [PDF]

, 2013
The superfamily 1 helicase, RecD2, is a monomeric, bacterial enzyme with a role in DNA repair, but with 5'-3' activity unlike most enzymes from this superfamily. Rate constants were determined for steps within the ATPase cycle of RecD2 in the presence of
