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.

P53 tumour-suppressor gene mutations are mainly localised on exon 7 in human primary and metastatic prostate cancer. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
Mutations in the p53 tumour-suppressor gene are among the most common genetic alterations in human cancers. In the present study we analysed the mutations in the p53 tumor-suppressor gene in 25 primary and 20 metastatic human prostate cancer specimens ...

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 ...

Plant or fungal sequences? An alternative optimized PCR protocol to avoid ITS (nrDNA) misamplification

open access: yesBrazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2010
The nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacers (ITS1 and ITS2) from leaves of Drosera (Droseraceae) were amplified using "universal" primers.

Structural and Biochemical Characterization of the nsp12-nsp7-nsp8 Core Polymerase Complex from SARS-CoV-2

open access: yesCell Reports, 2020
Summary: The ongoing global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused a huge number of human deaths. Currently, there are no specific drugs or vaccines available for this virus (SARS-CoV-2).

Purification and Biochemical Characterisation of Rabbit Calicivirus RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerases and Identification of Non-Nucleoside Inhibitors

open access: yesViruses, 2016
Rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) is a calicivirus that causes acute infections in both domestic and wild European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The virus causes significant economic losses in rabbit farming and reduces wild rabbit populations.

Translesion synthesis in mammalian cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
DNA damage blocks the progression of the replication fork. In order to circumvent the damaged bases, cells employ specialized low stringency DNA polymerases, which are able to carry out translesion synthesis (TLS) past different types of damage. The five

Directed evolution of novel polymerase activities: Mutation of a DNA polymerase into an efficient RNA polymerase [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2002
The creation of novel enzymatic function is of great interest, but remains a challenge because of the large sequence space of proteins. We have developed an activity-based selection method to evolve DNA polymerases with RNA polymerase activity.

Norovirus Proteinase-Polymerase and Polymerase Are Both Active Forms of RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Virology, 2005
ABSTRACT In vitro mapping studies of the MD145 norovirus ( Caliciviridae ) ORF1 polyprotein identified two stable cleavage products containing the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) domains: ProPol (a precursor comprised of both the proteinase and polymerase) and Pol (the mature polymerase).

Viral polymerase-host interaction analysis reveals that the association between avian NUP93 and PB1 promotes H5N6 avian influenza virus replication

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum
The H5N6 avian influenza virus, a highly pathogenic strain, poses a significant threat to poultry production and public health. The RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (comprising PB1, PB2, and PA proteins) and nucleoprotein of highly pathogenic avian influenza
