Interplay of 'induced fit' and preorganization in the ligand induced folding of the aptamer domain of the guanine binding riboswitch [PDF]

, 2006
Riboswitches are highly structured elements in the 50-untranslated regions (50-UTRs) of messenger RNA that control gene expression by specifically binding to small metabolite molecules. They consist of an aptamer domain responsible for ligand binding and

Structural analysis of HIV-1 maturation using cryo-electron tomography. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2010
HIV-1 buds form infected cells in an immature, non-infectious form. Maturation into an infectious virion requires proteolytic cleavage of the Gag polyprotein at five positions, leading to a dramatic change in virus morphology. Immature virions contain an

IMPDH inhibition enhances cytarabine efficacy in SAMHD1‐expressing leukaemia cells via guanine nucleotide depletion

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cytarabine is a key therapy for acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), but its efficacy is limited by the dNTPase SAMHD1, which hydrolyses its active metabolite. Screening nucleotide biosynthesis inhibitors revealed that IMPDH inhibitors selectively sensitise SAMHD1‐proficient AML cells to cytarabine.

Topoisomerase IIα promotes activation of RNA polymerase I transcription by facilitating pre-initiation complex formation [PDF]

, 2013
Type II DNA topoisomerases catalyse DNA double-strand cleavage, passage and re-ligation to effect topological changes. There is considerable interest in elucidating topoisomerase II roles, particularly as these proteins are targets for anti-cancer drugs.

Hijacking emergency granulopoiesis: Neutrophil ontogeny and reprogramming in cancer

Molecular 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 ...

Maf1-mediated repression of RNA polymerase III transcription inhibits tRNA degradation via RTD pathway [PDF]

, 2012
tRNA precursors, which are transcribed by RNA polymerase III, undergo end-maturation, splicing and base modifications. Hypomodified tRNAs, such as tRNAVal(AAC), lacking 7-methylguanosine and 5-methylcytidine modifications, are subject to degradation by a

Loss of IGF‐1R impairs DNA‐PKcs recruitment to chromatin leading to defective end‐joining

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
IGF‐1R promotes radioresistance by facilitating DNA‐PKcs recruitment to chromatin, enabling non‐homologous end‐joining (NHEJ) repair of double‐strand breaks. Inhibition or loss of IGF‐1R disrupts this recruitment to damage sites, driving compensatory reliance on microhomology‐mediated end‐joining (MMEJ) repair.

MITF maintains genome stability in nonmelanocyte lineages

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
MITF is essential for melanocyte survival and acts as an oncogene in 10%–20% of melanomas. We show that MITF depletion causes genome instability in nonmelanocytic cells, leading to LATS2‐mediated P53 activation, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis. This study highlights the role of MITF as a genome maintenance factor beyond the melanocyte lineage. Created

RNA interference, growth and differentiation appear normal in African trypanosomes lacking Tudor staphylococcal nuclease. [PDF]

, 2010
Ribonucleases play important roles in the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway. The Dicer endonuclease converts double-stranded (ds)RNA into small interfering (si)RNA and the Slicer endonuclease, as a component of the RNA induced silencing complex (RISC ...

Probing RNA Structure by Lead Cleavage [PDF]

Current Protocols in Nucleic Acid Chemistry, 2000
AbstractLead cleavage causes a transesterification reaction that breaks the 5′,3′‐phosphodiester backbone of RNA, leaving a 2′,3′‐cyclic phosphate and a 5′‐hydroxyl. Since the efficiency of the reaction at the 2′‐hydroxyl is related to steric and chemical constraints on particular 2′‐hydroxyls embedded in the RNA, this reaction can be used to examine ...
