Recombination in Wolbachia [PDF]
Current Biology, 2001 Wolbachia are widely distributed intracellular bacteria that cause a number of reproductive alterations in their eukaryotic hosts. Such alterations include the induction of parthenogenesis, feminization, cytoplasmic incompatibility, and male killing [1-11].

Molecular Cell, 2012 The MCM proteins are best known for their role in DNA replication, MCM2-7 forming the replicative helicase. Now, two reports in this issue of Molecular Cell, Nishimura et al. (2012) and Lutzmann et al. (2012) show the less well understood MCM8 and MCM9 to be crucial for effective homologous recombination.

Mechanism of substrate hydrolysis by the human nucleotide pool sanitiser DNPH1
Nature Communications, 2023 Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors are used in the clinic to treat BRCA-deficient breast, ovarian and prostate cancers. As their efficacy is potentiated by loss of the nucleotide salvage factor DNPH1 there is considerable interest in the ...

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 The formation of hybrid sterility is an important stage of speciation. The voles of the genus Microtus, which is the most speciose genus of rodents, provide a good model for studying the cytological mechanisms of hybrid sterility.

Wolbachia and recombination [PDF]
Trends in Genetics, 2001 The endocellular bacterium Wolbachia manipulates its hosts’ reproduction in an impressive variety of ways: it can induce male killing, feminization, thelytokous parthenogenesis and cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI; embryonic mortality resulting from crosses between Wolbachia-infected males and uninfected females).

SARS-CoV-2: from its discovery to genome structure, transcription, and replication
Cell & Bioscience, 2021 SARS-CoV-2 is an extremely contagious respiratory virus causing adult atypical pneumonia COVID-19 with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). SARS-CoV-2 has a single-stranded, positive-sense RNA (+RNA) genome of ~ 29.9 kb and exhibits significant ...

Two Targets, One Hit: new Anticancer Therapeutics to Prevent Tumorigenesis Without Cardiotoxicity
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021 A serious adverse effect of cancer therapies is cardiovascular toxicity, which significantly limits the widespread use of antineoplastic agents. The promising new field of cardio-oncology offers the identification of potent anti-cancer therapeutics that ...

Quasispecies and recombination
Theoretical Population Biology, 2006 Recombination is introduced into Eigen's theory of quasispecies evolution. Comparing numerical simulations of the rate equations in the non-recombining and recombining cases show that recombination has a strong effect on the error threshold and, for a wide range of mutation rates, gives rise to two stable fixed points in the dynamics. This bi-stability

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 Meiotic recombination is initiated by Spo11-catalyzed DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) that are promoted by histone modifications and histone modifying enzymes. Herein we investigated the role of histone H3 lysine 56 acetylation (H3K56ac) located near the

Cell, 1982 The aphthovirus genome consists of a single molecule of single-stranded RNA that encodes all the virus-induced proteins. We isolated recombinant aphthoviruses from cells simultaneously infected with temperature-sensitive mutants of two different subtype strains.
