Phase Separation Regulates Metabolism, Mitochondria, and Diseases
Mitochondrion‐related liquid–liquid phase separation. (1) Phase separation mediates the self‐assembly of mitochondrial nucleoids (mt‐nucleoids). (2) Phase segregation mediates the formation of mitochondrial RNA granules (MRGs). (3) Phase separation mediates the formation of mitochondrial degradosomes.

Elucidating the molecular physiology of lantibiotic NAI-107 production in Microbispora ATCC-PTA-5024 [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The filamentous actinomycete Microbispora ATCC-PTA-5024 produces the lantibiotic NAI-107, which is an antibiotic peptide effective against multidrug-resistant Gram-positive bacteria. In actinomycetes, antibiotic production is often associated

Defective Processing of Cytoplasmic and Chloroplast Ribosomal RNA in the Absence of Arabidopsis DXO1
ABSTRACT Decapping 5′‐3′ exoribonucleases from the DXO/Rai1 family are highly conserved among eukaryotes and exhibit diverse enzymatic activities depending on the organism. The biochemical and structural properties of the plant DXO1 differ from the yeast and animal counterparts, which is reflected in the in vivo functions of this enzyme.

Severo Ochoa and the Biomedical Sciences in Spain under Franco, 1959-1975 [PDF]
The influence of Severo Ochoa in the establishment of biochemistry and molecular biology in Spain is the central topic of this essay. From the time he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1959, Ochoa's links with Spanish scientists ...

Target recognition by RNase E RNA-binding domain AR2 drives sRNA decay in the absence of PNPase
The C-terminal domain (CTD) of the major endoribonuclease RNase E not only serves as a scaffold for the central RNA decay machinery in gram-negative bacteria but also mediates coupled degradation of small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) and their cognate target transcripts following RNA chaperone Hfq–facilitated sRNA–mRNA base pairing. Despite the

Using in silico models to simulate dual perturbation experiments: procedure development and interpretation of outcomes. [PDF]
BackgroundA growing number of realistic in silico models of metabolic functions are being formulated and can serve as 'dry lab' platforms to prototype and simulate experiments before they are performed.

Looping forward: exploring R‐loop processing and therapeutic potential
R‐loops function as both regulators of gene expression, DNA repair, telomere maintenance or chromosome segregation, and as drivers of genome instability. This dual nature of these structures is coordinated by RNA/DNA/chromatin processing factors that safeguard the genome from detrimental R‐loop‐instigated DNA damage or cellular dysfunction ...

Crystal structure of the S. solfataricus archaeal exosome reveals conformational flexibility in the RNA-binding ring. [PDF]
The exosome complex is an essential RNA 3'-end processing and degradation machinery. In archaeal organisms, the exosome consists of a catalytic ring and an RNA-binding ring, both of which were previously reported to assume three-fold symmetry.Here we ...
