ZBTB18 Dysfunction Promotes Neuropathic Pain via CHD4‐based Epigenetic Disinhibition of CLIC1 Channels in Sensory Neurons

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, we identify a novel functional role of ZBTB18 in regulating trigeminal‐mediated neuropathic pain. Nerve injury reduces ZBTB18 in trigeminal ganglion neurons, impairing CHD4/NuRD recruitment and de‐repressing Clic1. Elevated CLIC1 enhances chloride channel activity and neuronal hyperexcitability, thereby driving pain.

ATPase mechanism of the 5'-3' DNA helicase, RecD2: evidence for a pre-hydrolysis conformation change [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The superfamily 1 helicase, RecD2, is a monomeric, bacterial enzyme with a role in DNA repair, but with 5'-3' activity unlike most enzymes from this superfamily. Rate constants were determined for steps within the ATPase cycle of RecD2 in the presence of

Distinct Cleavage Trajectories Mediated by DNA and RNA Substrate in Argonaute From Methanocaldococcus Fervens

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study characterizes MfAgo, an enzyme exhibiting highly efficient DNA‐guided DNA and RNA cleavage capability. Precise RNA cleavage strictly requires dimerization to stabilize the PIWI‐loop region, while its robust DNA cleavage functions in a dimerization‐independent manner.

Modulation of MCM Helicase activity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The minichromosome maintenance (MCM) proteins are essential for the initiation and progression of DNA replication. MCMs are believed to function as the replicative helicase in archaea and eukaryotes.

The helicase XPD unwinds bubble structures and is not stalled by DNA lesions removed by the nucleotide excision repair pathway [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Xeroderma pigmentosum factor D (XPD) is a 5'-3' superfamily 2 helicase and the founding member of a family of DNA helicases with iron-sulphur cluster domains.

DDX21 Enhances Radiosensitivity in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma by Suppressing MK2‐Mediated DNA Damage Response

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
DDX21 suppresses MK2 activation by directly inhibiting Thr334 phosphorylation in a p38‐independent manner, thereby impairing DNA damage response. Clinically, patients with well‐differentiated tumors exhibiting high DDX21 expression are more likely to benefit from adjuvant radiotherapy, whereas those with low DDX21 levels are predisposed to ...

An ATP‐Driven N Protein–DDX21 Molecular Switch Dynamically Controls SARS‐CoV‐2 RNA G‐Quadruplex Heterogeneity

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An ATP‐driven molecular switch, comprising viral nucleocapsid (N) protein and host helicase DDX21, dynamically modulates SARS‐CoV‐2 RNA G‐quadruplex (G4) heterogeneity. These viral G4s feature non‐canonical ion‐dependence and act as energy‐sensitive structural checkpoints.

Characterizing functional domains of the RNA helicase RHAU involved in subcellular localization and RNA interaction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression is an important and highly regulated process in response to developmental, environmental and metabolic signals.

CHD8‐Dependent Chromatin Licensing Sustains Trophoblast Stem Cell Transcriptional Programs

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, Huang et al., identify chromatin remodeler CHD8 as an essential factor in TSC maintenance and placental development. CHD8‐dependent chromatin accessibility supports the occupancy of key trophoblast TFs and is coupled to KMT2A‐associated H3K4me3 deposition at TSC stem and cell cycle genes, providing a permissive chromatin environment for ...

Structural basis for dual roles of Aar2p in U5 snRNP assembly [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Yeast U5 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particle (snRNP) is assembled via a cytoplasmic precursor that contains the U5-specific Prp8 protein but lacks the U5-specific Brr2 helicase.
