Impact of PNKP mutations associated with microcephaly, seizures and developmental delay on enzyme activity and DNA strand break repair [PDF]
, 2012 Microcephaly with early-onset, intractable seizures and developmental delay (MCSZ) is a hereditary disease caused by mutations in polynucleotide kinase/phosphatase (PNKP), a DNA strand break repair protein with DNA 5'-kinase and DNA 3'-phosphatase ...

Micro-RNA family that modulates fibrosis and uses thereof [PDF]
, 2017 The present invention relates to the identification of a microRNA family, designated miR-29a-c, that is a key regulator of fibrosis in cardiac tissue. The inventors show that members of the miR-29 family are down-regulated in the heart tissue in response

Specific recognition of a multiply phosphorylated motif in the DNA repair scaffold XRCC1 by the FHA domain of human PNK. [PDF]
, 2009 Short-patch repair of DNA single-strand breaks and gaps (SSB) is coordinated by XRCC1, a scaffold protein that recruits the DNA polymerase and DNA ligase required for filling and sealing the damaged strand.

Synthesis of Polynucleotide Analogs Containing a Polyvinyl Alcohol Backbone
Molecules, 2008 Water soluble homo-base polynucleotide analogues were synthesized in whichpolyvinyl alcohol and partially phosphonated polyvinyl alcohol constituted the backbones,onto which were grafted uracil or adenine via 1,3-dioxane spacers formed by acetalformation

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Here, we transform this otherwise destructive enzymatic activity into a powerful diagnostic advantage through an RNase I–assisted rolling circle amplification (RI‐RCA) strategy. By integrating controlled RNase I–mediated RNA digestion with circular DNA templates, this approach enables direct and highly sensitive detection of target RNA sequences. Using

Molecular dynamics study on the mechanism of polynucleotide encapsulation by chitosan
Scientific Reports, 2017 The safe and effective delivery of therapeutic genes into target cell interiors is of great importance in gene therapy. Chitosan has been extensively studied as a gene delivery carrier due to its good biocompatibility and biodegradability.

When DNA Polymerases Multitask: Functions Beyond Nucleotidyl Transfer
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022 DNA polymerases catalyze nucleotidyl transfer, the central reaction in synthesis of DNA polynucleotide chains. They function not only in DNA replication, but also in diverse aspects of DNA repair and recombination.
