Transcribing RNA polymerases: Dynamics of Twin Supercoiled Domains [PDF]
Gene transcription by a RNA Polymerase (RNAP) enzyme requires that double-stranded DNA be locally and transiently opened, which results in an increase of DNA supercoiling downstream of the RNAP and a decrease of supercoiling upstream of it. When the DNA is initially torsionally relaxed and the RNAP experiences sufficiently large rotational drag, these ...

Alkane biosynthesis gene expression and its increased production in recombinant cyanobacteria
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.The transcription and mRNA structures of the alkane biosynthesis genes ado/aar were analysed in the representative cyanobacteria PCC 6803 and SK1‐2‐1, which produce C17H36 and C15H32, respectively. PCC 6803 transconjugants carrying these genes showed a 1.8‐ to 2.3‐fold increase in C17H36 production.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.SLC7A11 frequently migrates faster in SDS‐PAGE. The present study found that the high hydrophobicity of SLC7A11 causes its anomalous migration in SDS‐PAGE with a low concentration of acrylamide gel. Replacing isoleucine with asparagine reduced hydrophobicity and restored its normal migration at 55 kDa, revealing the role of hydrophobicity and gel ...

A Model of Sequence Dependent Protein Diffusion Along Dna [PDF]
arXiv, 2001 We introduce a probabilistic model for protein sliding motion along DNA during the search of a target sequence. The model accounts for possible effects due to sequence-dependent interaction between the nonspecific DNA and the protein. As an example, we focus on T7 RNA-polymerase and exploit the available information about its interaction at the ...

Possible role of human ribonuclease dicer in the regulation of R loops
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.R loops play an important role in regulating key cellular processes such as replication, transcription, centromere stabilization, or control of telomere length. However, the unscheduled accumulation of R loops can cause many diseases, including cancer, and neurodegenerative or inflammatory disorders. Interestingly, accumulating data indicate a possible

Towards the Development of a Minigenome Assay for Species A Rotaviruses
VirusesRNA virus polymerases carry out multiple functions necessary for successful genome replication and transcription. A key tool for molecular studies of viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RdRps) is a ‘minigenome’ or ‘minireplicon’ assay, in which viral ...

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.ICP34.5 is one of the most important antihost response proteins. The saRNA‐encoding HSV‐1 neurovirulence protein ICP34.5 clearly mediated the eukaryotic initiation factor 2 alpha subunit (eIF2α) dephosphorylation and significant suppression of innate immune responses in vitro, leading to enhanced expression of the saRNA‐encoded gene.
