Role of small-molecule modifiers in replication initiation
, 2016 Post-translational modification of proteins through attachment of ubiquitin or ubiquitin-like proteins (UBLs) changes the three-dimensional structure of the modified factors and affects their activity, interactions and turnover.

The dynamics of replication licensing in live Caenorhabditis elegans embryos [PDF]
, 2012 Accurate DNA replication requires proper regulation of replication licensing, which entails loading MCM-2-7 onto replication origins. In this paper, we provide the first comprehensive view of replication licensing in vivo, using video microscopy of ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Drosophila RecQ4 Is Directly Involved in Both DNA Replication and the Response to UV Damage in S2 Cells. [PDF]
, 2012 The RecQ4 protein shows homology to both the S.cerevisiae DNA replication protein Sld2 and the DNA repair related RecQ helicases. Experimental data also suggest replication and repair functions for RecQ4, but the precise details of its involvement remain

The role of cellular signalling pathways and translation initiation factors in Herpesvirus infection [PDF]
, 2011 As obligate intracellular parasites, viruses rely on host cells to replicate. Hsv-1 is a large double stranded DNA virus which is the cause of common cold sores and corneal blindness in humans. The defining feature of HSV-1 is its ability to exist in two

Where and When Bacterial Chromosome Replication Starts: A Single Cell Perspective
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Bacterial chromosomes have a single, unique replication origin (named oriC), from which DNA synthesis starts. This study describes methods of visualizing oriC regions and the chromosome replication in single living bacterial cells in real-time.

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.

Initiation-specific alleles of the Cdc45 helicase-activating protein.
PLoS ONE, 2019 The committed step in DNA replication initiation is the activation of the Mcm2-7 replicative DNA helicase. Two activators, Cdc45 and GINS, associate with Mcm2-7 at origins of replication to form the CMG complex, which is the active eukaryotic replicative

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

Chk1 inhibits replication factory activation but allows dormant origin firing in existing factories [PDF]
, 2010 Replication origins are licensed by loading MCM2-7 hexamers before entry into S phase. However, only similar to 10% of licensed origins are normally used in S phase, with the others remaining dormant.
