How the misincorporation of ribonucleotides into genomic DNA can be both harmful and helpful to cells

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2014
Ribonucleotides are misincorporated into replicating DNA due to the similarity of deoxyribonucleotides and ribonucleotides, the high concentration of ribonucleotides in the nucleus and the imperfect accuracy of replicative DNA polymerases in choosing the

Contributions of synaptic energetic dysfunction by microtubule dynamics and microtubule‐based mitochondrial transport disorder to morphine tolerance

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Morphine is among the most powerful analgesic, but its long‐term use can cause tolerance. Synaptic ATP supply is critical for maintaining synaptic transmission. Microtubule‐based mitochondrial transport ensures synaptic energy supply.

IMPDH2's Central Role in Cellular Growth and Diseases: A Potential Therapeutic Target

open access: yesCell Proliferation, EarlyView.
IMPDH2 is a rate‐limiting enzyme in guanine nucleotide biosynthesis. It plays diverse roles in various physiological and pathological processes: nucleotide metabolism, inflammation, immune function, ribosomal stress. Structural or regulatory alterations in IMPDH2 are linked to significant health issues, and critical relevance in disease progression. We

Analysis of oligonucleotide microarrays by 3′ end labeling using fluorescent nucleotides and terminal transferase

open access: yesBioTechniques, 2006
A simple enzymatic labeling procedure is described to determine spot quality in oligonucleotide microarrays. By using fluorescently labeled dideoxynucleotides or ribonucleotides as substrate for terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT), a single ...

Mycobacterium smegmatis DinB2 misincorporates deoxyribonucleotides and ribonucleotides during templated synthesis and lesion bypass

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2014
Mycobacterium smegmatis DinB2 is the founder of a clade of Y-family DNA polymerase that is naturally adept at utilizing rNTPs or dNTPs as substrates. Here we investigate the fidelity and lesion bypass capacity of DinB2.

Inflammation in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: From diagnosis to treatment

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Clinical Investigation, EarlyView.
Inflammation in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Residual inflammatory risk (RIR), defined by high‐sensitive C‐reactive protein (hsCRP) concentration of ≥2 mg/L, represents a strong predictor of future atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) events. Although increased hsCRP values ≥2 mg/L might be detected in every three out of five ASCVD

Bacterial transcriptional repressor NrdR – a flexible multifactorial nucleotide sensor

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
NrdR is a bacterial transcription factor that regulates the expression of all three types of ribonucleotide reductase, an essential enzyme for cell survival, in response to intracellular ATP and dATP levels. We have carried out a comprehensive biochemical, biophysical and structural study of the response of E. coli NrdR to ATP and dATP.

Nucleozymes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Nucleozymes containing ribonucleotides and deoxyribonucleotides or nucleic acid analogues are described herein. The nucleozymes have catalytic activity and are significantly more resistant to degradation than their all-RNA ribozyme counterparts.

Transcription‐coupled repair: tangled up in convoluted repair

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss recent findings derived from diverse genomic, biochemical and structural, imaging, and functional studies (B–E) that culminated in deep mechanistic insight (A) into the vital cellular process of transcription‐coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC‐NER).

Plant synthetic biology‐based biofortification, strategies and recent progresses

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hidden hunger, caused by chronic micronutrient deficiencies, affects billions of people worldwide and remains a critical public health issue despite progress in food production. Biofortification offers a promising solution by enhancing nutrient levels within plant tissues through traditional breeding or advanced biotechnologies.
