RIBONUCLEOTIDE REDUCTASES [PDF]
Annual Review of Biochemistry, 1998 Ribonucleotide reductases provide the building blocks for DNA replication in all living cells. Three different classes of enzymes use protein free radicals to activate the substrate. Aerobic class I enzymes generate a tyrosyl radical with an iron-oxygen center and dioxygen, class II enzymes employ adenosylcobalamin, and the anaerobic class III enzymes

Allosteric Enzymes, 2020 Ribonucleotide Reductase is a heterodimeric cytoplasmic enzyme essential in dividing cells that reduces ribonucleotides to deoxyribonucleotide precursors for DNA synthesis in S phase. It consists of two subunits, M1 Chain and M2 Chain. Complex allosteric

Ribonucleotides in bacterial DNA [PDF]
Critical Reviews in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2014 In all living cells, DNA is the storage medium for genetic information. Being quite stable, DNA is well-suited for its role in storage and propagation of information, but RNA is also covalently included in DNA through various mechanisms. Recent studies also demonstrate useful aspects of including ribonucleotides in the genome during repair.

Pathogens, 2023 Ribonucleotide reductases (RRs or RNRs) catalyze the reduction of the OH group on the 2nd carbon of ribose, reducing four ribonucleotides (NTPs) to the corresponding deoxyribonucleotides (dNTPs) to promote DNA synthesis.

Studying Ribonucleotide Incorporation: Strand-specific Detection of Ribonucleotides in the Yeast Genome and Measuring Ribonucleotide-induced Mutagenesis [PDF]
Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2018 The presence of ribonucleotides in nuclear DNA has been shown to be a source of genomic instability. The extent of ribonucleotide incorporation can be assessed by alkaline hydrolysis and gel electrophoresis as RNA is highly susceptible to hydrolysis in alkaline conditions.

Ribonucleotides in mitochondrial
FEBS Letters, 2019 The incorporation of ribonucleotides (rNMPs) into DNA during genome replication has gained substantial attention in recent years and has been shown to be a significant source of genomic instability. Studies in yeast and mammals have shown that the two genomes, the nuclear DNA (nDNA) and the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), differ with regard to their rNMP ...

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2010 It has normally been assumed that ribonucleotides arose on the early Earth through a process in which ribose, the nucleobases, and phosphate became conjoined. However, under plausible prebiotic conditions, condensation of nucleobases with ribose to give beta-ribonucleosides is fraught with difficulties.

Molecules, 2017 Despite the apparent clinical benefits of high-dose cytarabine (Ara-C) over lower dose Ara-C in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) therapy, the mechanism behind high-dose Ara-C therapy remains uncertain.

A naturally occurring antiviral ribonucleotide encoded by the human genome
Nature, 2018 Viral infections continue to represent major challenges to public health, and an enhanced mechanistic understanding of the processes that contribute to viral life cycles is necessary for the development of new therapeutic strategies1.

PLoS ONE, 2020 Ribonucleoside triphosphates are often incorporated into genomic DNA during DNA replication. The accumulation of unrepaired ribonucleotides is associated with genomic instability, which is mediated by DNA topoisomerase 1 (Top1) processing of embedded ...
