A structural view of the initiators for chromosome replication [PDF]
Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2018 Propagation of genetic material is central to the survival and fitness of multicellular organisms. To efficiently duplicate eukaryotic genomes of sizes between ~107 bp (yeast) to ~1011 bp (plants), replication initiates from multiple start sites called “replication origins” distributed on multiple chromosomes [1].

Organoids in pediatric cancer research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

A back-up mechanism for replication
eLifeA protein called PriC allows DNA replication to proceed in Escherichia coli when the complex that usually initiates this process is compromised.

The essential role of the 3' terminal template base in the first steps of protein-primed DNA replication. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Bacteriophages ϕ29 and Nf from Bacillus subtilis start replication of their linear genomes at both ends using a protein-primed mechanism by means of which the DNA polymerase initiates replication by adding dAMP to the terminal protein, this insertion ...

Cdc45 is limiting for replication initiation in humans [PDF]
Cell Cycle, 2016 Cdc45 is an essential protein that together with Mcm2-7 and GINS forms the eukaryotic replicative helicase CMG. Cdc45 seems to be rate limiting for the initial unwinding or firing of replication origins. In line with this view, Cdc45-overexpressing cells fired at least twice as many origins as control cells.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Extrusion-modulated DnaA activity oscillations coordinate DNA replication with biomass growth
eLifeRobust control of DNA replication is fundamental to bacterial proliferation. In Escherichia coli, replication initiation is thought to be regulated by oscillations in DnaA activity, driven by DnaA-chromosome interactions that differ among leading models.

eLife, 2021 Eukaryotic DNA replication initiates during S phase from origins that have been licensed in the preceding G1 phase. Here, we compare ChIP-seq profiles of the licensing factors Orc2, Orc3, Mcm3, and Mcm7 with gene expression, replication timing, and fork ...

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Cell Reports, 2017 Dbf4-dependent kinases (DDKs) are required for the initiation of DNA replication, their essential targets being the MCM2-7 proteins. We show that, in Xenopus laevis egg extracts and human cells, hyper-phosphorylation of DNA-bound Mcm4, but not ...
