Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Heterozygous loss‐of‐function alleles associate the conserved 3′‐5′ exoribonuclease EXOSC10 with hypersensitivity to the anticancer drug 5‐fluorouracil

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
EXOSC10, an essential nuclear RNA exosome‐associated 3′‐5′ exoribonuclease, is inhibited by the anticancer drug 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU), and EXOSC10 depletion increases 5‐FU sensitivity. The colon‐cancer variant EXOSC10S402T, located in a proteolysis motif, is stable and nuclear but nonfunctional in vivo.

An optimised method for the extraction of bacterial mRNA from plant roots infected with Escherichia coli O157:H7

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Analysis of microbial gene expression during host colonisation provides valuable information on the nature of interaction, beneficial or pathogenic, and the adaptive processes involved.

Mechanisms for activating bacterial RNA polymerase [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2010
Gene transcription is a fundamental cellular process carried out by RNA polymerase (RNAP) enzymes and is highly regulated through the action of gene regulatory complexes. Important mechanistic insights have been gained from structural studies on multisubunit RNAP from bacteria, yeast and archaea, although the initiation process that involves the ...

Hijacking emergency granulopoiesis: Neutrophil ontogeny and reprogramming in cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Neutrophils are highly plastic innate immune cells; their functions in cancer extend beyond the tumour microenvironment. This Review summarises current understanding of neutrophil maturation and heterogeneity and highlights tumour‐induced granulopoiesis as a systemic programme that expands immature, immunosuppressive neutrophils via tumour‐derived ...

Alternative transcription cycle for bacterial RNA polymerase

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
In the canonical bacterial transcription, both nascent transcript and polymerase dissociate from template DNA. By employing multi-color single-molecule fluorescence imaging, here the authors show that RNA polymerases remain bound to DNA after the ...

Overlapping transcription and bacterial RNA removal [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014
The precise understanding of the biology of a living cell requires the identification and quantification of the molecular components necessary to sustain life. One such element is RNA. Two independent high-throughput strategies are available to identify the entire collection of RNA molecules produced by a cell population, which is currently known as ...

Loss of proton‐sensing TDAG8 increases tumor progression in mouse models of colon cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Loss of the pH‐sensing receptor TDAG8 accelerates colorectal cancer progression in mice. Animals lacking TDAG8 expression had increased tumor growth, DNA damage, and recruitment of tumor‐associated immune cells, including macrophages, neutrophils, and monocytes.

Single-Cell RNA Sequencing of Plant-Associated Bacterial Communities

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Plants in soil are not solitary, hence continually interact with and obtain benefits from a community of microbes (“microbiome”). The meta-functional output from the microbiome results from complex interactions among the different community members with ...

Small Alarmone Synthetases as novel bacterial RNA-binding proteins

open access: yes, 2017
The alarmone nucleotides guanosine pentaphosphate (pppGpp) and tetraphosphate (ppGpp), collectively referred to as (p)ppGpp, are key regulators of bacterial growth, stress adaptation, antibiotic tolerance and pathogenicity.
