Anchorage‐independent and faster growth in clonal population from UV‐irradiated NER‐deficient cells
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.UV‐irradiated cells expressing a DDB2 mutant protein unable to interact with PCNA (DDB2PCNA‐) form clones able to grow without anchorage. Different experimental approaches reveal heterogeneity in cell cycle regulation and drug response within these clones, emphasizing the crucial role of the DDB2‐PCNA interaction in preventing cellular transformation ...

A eubacterial origin for the human tRNA nucleotidyltransferase? [PDF]
, 2001 tRNA CCA-termini are generated and maintained by tRNA nucleotidyltransferases. Together with poly(A) polymerases and other enzymes they belong to the nucleotidyltransferase superfamily.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.This study explores the feasibility of expressing the antitumoral protein Amblyomin‐X through a suicide gene therapy approach and investigates its intracellular fate after gene delivery. Although the gene is efficiently expressed, melanoma cells rapidly degrade the Amblyomin‐X protein via proteasome activity.

A human ribonuclease induces apoptosis associated with p21WAF1/CIP1induction and JNK inactivation [PDF]
, 2011 Background Ribonucleases are promising agents for use in anticancer therapy. Among the different ribonucleases described to be cytotoxic, a paradigmatic example is onconase which manifests cytotoxic and cytostatic effects, presents synergism ...

Rapid screening of staphylokinase protein variants using an unpurified cell‐free expression system
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.An unpurified cell‐free protein synthesis (CFPS) platform enables rapid functional screening of staphylokinase variants. Direct plasminogen‐activation assays performed in microplate format provide real‐time activity readouts, allowing rapid identification and ranking of variants with improved or reduced fibrinolytic activity without protein ...

The covarion model of molecular evolution : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Biology at Massey University [PDF]
, 1997 Current methods for constructing evolutionary trees generally do not work well for sequences in which multiple substitutions have occurred. The covarion hypothesis may provide a solution to this problem.

Coprophagous features in carnivorous Nepenthes plants: A task for ureases [PDF]
, 2017 Most terrestrial carnivorous plants are specialized on insect prey digestion to obtain additional nutrients. Few species of the genus Nepenthes developed mutualistic relationships with mammals for nitrogen supplementation. Whether dietary changes require

Mass spectrometry based identification of AMP‐O‐Tris generated by Thermococcus onnurineus Cas10
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Isolated Thermococcus onnurineus Cas10 generates the noncanonical ATP‐derived product AMP‐O‐Tris while in Tris‐containing buffer as identified via mass spectrometry, revealing relaxed nucleophile selectivity under isolated conditions. These findings suggest that multiprotein Csm complex assembly restricts Cas10 reactivity toward canonical cyclic ...
