Cdc13 at a crossroads of telomerase action
Telomere elongation by telomerase involves sequential steps that must be highly coordinated to ensure the maintenance of telomeres at a proper length. Telomerase is delivered to telomere ends, where it engages single-strand DNA end as a primer, elongates

Functional characterization of a replication initiator protein [PDF]
Functional domains in the RepI replication initiator protein have been identified by classical and site-directed mutagenesis techniques. Mutations conferring an increase in plasmid copy number contained alterations in a key position of a putative helix-turn-helix DNA binding motif.

Influence of retinoblastoma-related gene silencing on the initiation of DNA replication by African cassava mosaic virus Rep in cells of mature leaves in Nicotiana benthamiana plants [PDF]
Background Geminiviruses mainly infect terminally differentiated tissues and cells in plants. They need to reprogramme host cellular machinery for DNA replication.

Repair-specific Functions of Replication Protein A [PDF]
Replication protein A (RPA), the major eukaryotic single-strand DNA (ssDNA)-binding protein, is essential for replication, repair, recombination, and checkpoint activation. Defects in RPA-associated cellular activities lead to genomic instability, a major factor in the pathogenesis of cancer and other diseases.

Cyclophilin Inhibitors as a Novel HCV Therapy
A critical role of Cyclophilins, mostly Cyclophilin A (CyPA), in the replication of HCV is supported by a growing body of in vitro and in vivo evidence.

Live Cell Microscopy of Murine Polyomavirus Subnuclear Replication Centers
During polyomavirus (PyV) infection, host proteins localize to subnuclear domains, termed viral replication centers (VRCs), to mediate viral genome replication.

Evidence for two different regulatory mechanisms linking replication and segregation of vibrio cholerae chromosome II. [PDF]
Understanding the mechanisms that coordinate replication initiation with subsequent segregation of chromosomes is an important biological problem. Here we report two replication-control mechanisms mediated by a chromosome segregation protein, ParB2 ...

A quantitative model of the initiation of DNA replication in Saccharomyces cerevisiae predicts the effects of system perturbations. [PDF]
BackgroundEukaryotic cell proliferation involves DNA replication, a tightly regulated process mediated by a multitude of protein factors. In budding yeast, the initiation of replication is facilitated by the heterohexameric origin recognition complex ...

DNA damage-inducible transcript 3 (DDIT3), a transcription factor, is typically involved in virus replication control. We are the first to report that DDIT3 promotes the replication of bovine viral diarrhea virus, an RNA virus, by inhibiting innate ...

Passaging of a Newcastle disease virus pigeon variant in chickens results in selection of viruses with mutations in the polymerase complex enhancing virus replication and virulence [PDF]
Some Newcastle disease virus (NDV) variants isolated from pigeons (pigeon paramyxovirus type 1; PPMV-1) do not show their full virulence potential for domestic chickens but may become virulent upon spread in these animals.
