CRISPR applications for Duchenne muscular dystrophy: From animal models to potential therapies
WIREs Mechanisms of Disease, Volume 15, Issue 1, January/February 2023., 2023 CRISPR‐Cas9 gene‐editing technology enables the rapid generation of animal models for Duchenne muscular dystrophy research and has potential to be developed as CRISPR therapy for the long lasting genetic correction of causal mutations. Abstract CRISPR gene‐editing technology creates precise and permanent modifications to DNA.

Germinant receptor diversity and germination responses of four strains of the Bacillus cereus group [PDF]
, 2010 Four strains of the Bacillus cereus group were compared for their germinant receptor composition and spore germination capacity. Phylogenetic analysis of the germinant receptor encoding operons of the enterotoxic strains B.

The C. elegans neural editome reveals an ADAR target mRNA required for proper chemotaxis
eLife, 2017 ADAR proteins alter gene expression both by catalyzing adenosine (A) to inosine (I) RNA editing and binding to regulatory elements in target RNAs. Loss of ADARs affects neuronal function in all animals studied to date.

Evolutionarily conserved human targets of adenosine to inosine RNA editing [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, Vol. 33, 1162-1168 (2005), 2005 A-to-I RNA editing by ADARs is a post-transcriptional mechanism for expanding the proteomic repertoire. Genetic recoding by editing was so far observed for only a few mammalian RNAs that are predominantly expressed in nervous tissues. However, as these editing targets fail to explain the broad and severe phenotypes of ADAR1 knockout mice, additional ...

Upregulation of inducible NO synthase by exogenous adenosine in vascular smooth muscle cells activated by inflammatory stimuli in experimental diabetes [PDF]
, 2016 BACKGROUND: Adenosine has been shown to induce nitric oxide (NO) production via inducible NO synthase (iNOS) activation in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Although this is interpreted as a beneficial vasodilating pathway in vaso-occlusive disorders,

Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2014 Deamination of the nucleobases in DNA and RNA is a result of spontaneous hydrolysis, endogenous or environmental factors as well as deaminase enzymes. Adenosine is deaminated to inosine which is miscoding and preferentially base pairs with cytosine. In the case of DNA, this is a premutagenic event that is counteracted by DNA repair enzymes specifically

Comparative analysis of Bacillus weihenstephanensis KBAB4 spores obtained at different temperatures [PDF]
, 2010 The impact of Bacillus weihenstephanensis KBAB4 sporulation temperature history was assessed on spore heat resistance, germination and outgrowth capacity at a temperature range from 7 to 30 °C. Sporulation rate and efficiency decreased at low temperature,

Structural Probes in Quadruplex Nucleic Acid Structure Determination by NMR
Molecules, 2012 Traditionally, isotope-labelled DNA and RNA have been fundamental to nucleic acid structural studies by NMR. Four-stranded nucleic acid architectures studies increasingly benefit from a plethora of nucleotide conjugates for resonance assignments, the ...

Systematic identification of abundant A-to-I editing sites in the human transcriptome [PDF]
Nature Biotechnology 22, 1001-1005 (2004), 2004 RNA editing by members of the double-stranded RNA-specific ADAR family leads to site-specific conversion of adenosine to inosine (A-to-I) in precursor messenger RNAs. Editing by ADARs is believed to occur in all metazoa, and is essential for mammalian development.

Impact of sorbic acid on germinant receptor-dependent and -independent germination pathways in Bacillus cereus [PDF]
, 2011 Amino acid- and inosine-induced germination of Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579 spores was reversibly inhibited in the presence of 3 mM undissociated sorbic acid. Exposure to high hydrostatic pressure, Ca-dipicolinic acid (DPA), and bryostatin, an activator of
