Competitive binding of MatP and topoisomerase IV to the MukB dimerization hinge [PDF]
ABSTRACTSMC complexes have ubiquitous roles in chromosome organisation. InEscherichia coli,the interplay between the SMC complex, MukBEF, and matS-bound MatP in the replication termination region, ter, results in depletion of MukBEF from ter, thus promoting chromosome individualisation by directing replichores to separate cell halves.

Differential management of the replication terminus regions of the two Vibrio cholerae chromosomes during cell division. [PDF]
The replication terminus region (Ter) of the unique chromosome of most bacteria locates at mid-cell at the time of cell division. In several species, this localization participates in the necessary coordination between chromosome segregation and cell ...

Mapping Topoisomerase IV Binding and Activity Sites on the E. coli Genome. [PDF]
Catenation links between sister chromatids are formed progressively during DNA replication and are involved in the establishment of sister chromatid cohesion.

Long-range chromosome organization in E. coli: a site-specific system isolates the Ter macrodomain. [PDF]
The organization of the Escherichia coli chromosome into a ring composed of four macrodomains and two less-structured regions influences the segregation of sister chromatids and the mobility of chromosomal DNA. The structuring of the terminus region (Ter)

Summary Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer therapy. However, their use is frequently associated with immune‐related adverse events (irAEs) potentially affecting any organ. The mechanisms mediating such irAEs remain poorly understood and biomarkers to predict the development of irAEs are lacking.

Evidence for divisome localization mechanisms independent of the Min system and SlmA in Escherichia coli. [PDF]
Cell division in Escherichia coli starts with assembly of FtsZ protofilaments into a ring-like structure, the Z-ring. Positioning of the Z-ring at midcell is thought to be coordinated by two regulatory systems, nucleoid occlusion and the Min system. In E.

Transcription start site scanning and the requirement for ATP during transcription initiation by RNA polymerase II [PDF]
Saccharomyces cerevisiae RNA polymerase (Pol) II locates transcription start sites (TSS) at TATA-containing promoters by scanning sequences downstream from the site of preinitiation complex formation, a process that involves the translocation of ...

Voiding Behavior and Efferent Bladder Function Altered in Mice Following Social Defeat but Not Witness Trauma [PDF]
Psychological stress is associated with bladder dysfunction, however, the local bladder mechanisms affected are not well understood. This study aimed to determine how psychological stress, caused by social defeat or witness trauma, affects voiding ...

Oculocutaneous albinism type 4: Novel compound heterozygous mutations in the SLC45A2 gene in a Chinese case. [PDF]
In this study, we present a case with less pigmented hair and fairer than normal skin. Strabismus, hyperopia, astigmatism and the absence of iris pigment were found in his both eyes. Whole exome sequencing was performed in all samples, and Sanger sequencing was then used to verify the mutations. Compound heterozygous variants, c.1304C>A (p.S435Y) and c.
