Plasmid-based lacZalpha assay for DNA polymerase fidelity: application to archaeal family-B DNA polymerase [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The preparation of a gapped pUC18 derivative, containing the lacZalpha reporter gene in the single-stranded region, is described. Gapping is achieved by flanking the lacZalpha gene with sites for two related nicking endonucleases, enabling the excision ...

Polymerase Chain Reaction [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Investigative Dermatology, 2013
The advent of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) radically transformed biological science from the time it was first discovered (Mullis, 1990). For the first time, it allowed for specific detection and production of large amounts of DNA. PCR-based strategies have propelled huge scientific endeavors such as the Human Genome Project.

DNA polymerases required for repair of UV-induced damage in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
The ability of yeast DNA polymerase mutant strains to carry out repair synthesis after UV irradiation was studied by analysis of postirradiation molecular weight changes in cellular DNA.

Biochemistry of the Respiratory Syncytial Virus L Protein Embedding RNA Polymerase and Capping Activities

open access: yesViruses, 2023
The human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a negative-sense, single-stranded RNA virus. It is the major cause of severe acute lower respiratory tract infection in infants, the elderly population, and immunocompromised individuals.

The R251K Substitution in Viral Protein PB2 Increases Viral Replication and Pathogenicity of Eurasian Avian-like H1N1 Swine Influenza Viruses

open access: yesViruses, 2020
The Eurasian avian-like swine (EA) H1N1 virus has affected the Chinese swine industry, and human infection cases have been reported occasionally. However, little is known about the pathogenic mechanism of EA H1N1 virus.

RNA Polymerase Unveiled [PDF]

open access: yesCell, 1999
The appearance of these structures represents a historic advance in our understanding of one of molecular biology's most remarkable enzymes. Here we have suggested several possible structural bases for key steps in its function. Although speculative, they should serve as stimuli for future work.

The Functional Implications of Broad Spectrum Bioactive Compounds Targeting RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase (RdRp) in the Context of the COVID-19 Pandemic

open access: yesViruses, 2023
Background: As long as COVID-19 endures, viral surface proteins will keep changing and new viral strains will emerge, rendering prior vaccines and treatments decreasingly effective.

Compound Heterozygosity for a Novel Frameshift Variant Causing Fatal Infantile Liver Failure and Genotype–Phenotype Correlation of POLG c.3286C>T Variant

open access: yesInternational Journal of Neonatal Screening, 2021
A variant in the POLG gene is the leading cause of a heterogeneous group of mitochondrial disorders. No definitive treatment is currently available. Prenatal and newborn screening have the potential to improve clinical outcome of patients affected with ...

RNA polymerase pushing [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Chemistry, 2011
Molecular motors can exhibit Brownian ratchet or power stroke mechanisms. These mechanistic categories are related to transition state position: An early transition state suggests that chemical energy is stored and then released during the step (stroke) while a late transition state suggests that the release of chemical energy rectifies thermally ...

Molecular dissection of the domain architecture and catalytic activities of human PrimPol [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
PrimPol is a primase–polymerase involved in nuclear and mitochondrial DNA replication in eukaryotic cells. Although PrimPol is predicted to possess an archaeo-eukaryotic primase and a UL52-like zinc finger domain, the role of these domains has not been ...
