Action of CMG with strand-specific DNA blocks supports an internal unwinding mode for the eukaryotic replicative helicase

open access: yeseLife, 2017
Replicative helicases are ring-shaped hexamers that encircle DNA for duplex unwinding. The currently accepted view of hexameric helicase function is by steric exclusion, where the helicase encircles one DNA strand and excludes the other, acting as a ...

DNA helicase and helicase-nuclease enzymes with a conserved iron-sulfur cluster [PDF]

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2012
Conserved Iron-Sulfur (Fe-S) clusters are found in a growing family of metalloproteins that are implicated in prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA replication and repair. Among these are DNA helicase and helicase-nuclease enzymes that preserve chromosomal stability and are genetically linked to diseases characterized by DNA repair defects and/or a poor ...

Double-strand break repair and homologous recombination in Schizosaccharomyces pombe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
In recent years our understanding of double strand break repair and homologous recombination in Schizosaccharomyces pombe has increased significantly, and the identification of novel pathways and genes with homologues in higher eukaryotes has increased ...

Fusidic Acid Reverses Chemoresistance in Breast Cancer via Targeting DDX6 to Downregulate GSK‐3β/β‐Catenin Signaling

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
FA directly binds to residue H378 of DDX6 and promotes its interaction with HSC70, leading to CMA degradation of DDX6, thereby impairing GSK‐3β/β‐catenin signaling, inhibiting ABC transporter proteins, and enhancing chemosensitivity. Abstract ABC transporter protein‐mediated drug efflux is a significant contributor to induced resistance in breast ...

In the absence of ATPase activity, pre-RC formation is blocked prior to MCM2-7 hexamer dimerization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The origin recognition complex (ORC) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae binds origin DNA and cooperates with Cdc6 and Cdt1 to load the replicative helicase MCM2–7 onto DNA. Helicase loading involves two MCM2–7 hexamers that assemble into a double hexamer around

eIF4E Enriched Extracellular Vesicles Induce Immunosuppressive Macrophages through HMGCR‐Mediated Metabolic Rewiring

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Here, it is revealed that ovarian cancer cells release extracellular vesicles enriched with eIF4E, which alters protein production in macrophages. This leads to increased expression of 3‐hydroxy‐3‐methyl‐glutaryl‐coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR), boosting cholesterol synthesis and activating an immunosuppressive pathway through X‐box binding protein 1 and ...

Novel Tetrazolium-Based Colorimetric Assay for Helicase nsp13 in SARS-CoV-2

open access: yesBioChem
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a human pathogenic virus that encodes for a helicase (SC2Hel) that is essential for viral replication. SC2Hel has the ability to unravel dsRNA or dsDNA in an NTP-dependent manner from the 5′

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

open access: yesCell 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.

Mechanism of DNA loading by the DNA repair helicase XPD

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2016
The xeroderma pigmentosum group D (XPD) helicase is a component of the transcription factor IIH complex in eukaryotes and plays an essential role in DNA repair in the nucleotide excision repair pathway.
