Extensive horizontal gene transfer during Staphylococcus aureus co-colonization in vivo. [PDF]

, 2014
Staphylococcus aureus is a commensal and major pathogen of humans and animals. Comparative genomics of S. aureus populations suggests that colonization of different host species is associated with carriage of mobile genetic elements (MGE), particularly ...

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

miR-454-3p and miR-194-5p targeting cardiac sarcolemma ion exchange transcripts are potential noninvasive diagnostic biomarkers for childhood dilated cardiomyopathy in Egyptian patients

The Egyptian Heart Journal, 2022
Background Childhood dilated cardiomyopathy (CDCM) is the most common cardiomyopathy in children and it is risk factor to heart failure and sudden death.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Substrate Nucleotide-Determined Non-Templated Addition of Adenine by Taq DNA Polymerase: Implications for PCR-Based Genotyping and Cloning

BioTechniques, 1996
The Applied Biosystems PRISMTM fluorescence-based genotyping system as well as the Invitrogen TA Cloning® vector system are influenced by the tendency of Taq DNA polymerase to add an adenine nucleotide to the 3′ end of PCR products after extension ...

Chromosome 9p terminal deletion in nine Egyptian patients and narrowing of the critical region for trigonocephaly

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2021
Background This study aimed to delineate the clinical phenotype of patients with 9p deletions, pinpoint the chromosomal breakpoints, and identify the critical region for trigonocephaly, which is a frequent finding in 9p terminal deletion.

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

Progressive pulmonary fibrosis in a murine model of Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome

Respiratory Research, 2022
Background HPS-1 is a genetic type of Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) with highly penetrant pulmonary fibrosis (HPSPF), a restrictive lung disease that is similar to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
