Mutation in PNPT1 , which Encodes a Polyribonucleotide Nucleotidyltransferase, Impairs RNA Import into Mitochondria and Causes Respiratory-Chain Deficiency [PDF]
Multiple-respiratory-chain deficiency represents an important cause of mitochondrial disorders. Hitherto, however, mutations in genes involved in mtDNA maintenance and translation machinery only account for a fraction of cases. Exome sequencing in two siblings, born to consanguineous parents, with severe encephalomyopathy, choreoathetotic movements ...

Enzymes involved in DNA ligation and end-healing in the radioresistant bacterium [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Enzymes involved in DNA metabolic events of the highly radioresistant bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans are currently examined to understand the mechanisms that protect and repair the Deinococcus radiodurans genome after extremely high doses ...

Characterization of a Nodavirus Replicase Revealed a de Novo Initiation Mechanism of RNA Synthesis and Terminal Nucleotidyltransferase Activity [PDF]
Nodaviruses are a family of positive-stranded RNA viruses with a bipartite genome of RNAs. In nodaviruses, genomic RNA1 encodes protein A, which is recognized as an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) and functions as the sole viral replicase protein responsible for its RNA replication.

The 3' to 5' exoribonuclease DIS3: from structure and mechanisms to biological functions and role in human disease [PDF]
DIS3 is a conserved exoribonuclease and catalytic subunit of the exosome, a protein complex involved in the 3’ to 5’ degradation and processing of both nuclear and cytoplasmic RNA species.

HOXB1 restored expression promotes apoptosis and differentiation in the HL60 leukemic cell line [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Homeobox (HOX) genes deregulation has been largely implicated in the development of human leukemia. Among the HOXB cluster, HOXB1 was silent in a number of analyzed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) primary cells and cell lines, whereas it was ...

RNA-specific nucleotidyltransferases (rNTrs) add nontemplated nucleotides to the 3′ end of RNA. Two noncanonical rNTRs that are thought to be poly(A) polymerases (PAPs) have been identified in the mitochondria of trypanosomes – KPAP1 and KPAP2.

Proteome Analysis of Corynebacterium diphtheriae–Macrophage Interaction
ABSTRACT Contact of Corynebacterium diphtheriae with macrophages induces adaptations on both bacterial and cellular sides. The study presented here was aiming to shed light on the simultaneous intracellular adaptation of the bacteria and changes in the proteome of the phagocytes in response to the internalization of C. diphtheriae.

Abstract figure legend Graphical abstract of the proposed Ro5‐4864 mechanism of action via p62‐Keap1‐Nrf2 axis in heart failure. TSPO, the 18‐kDa mitochondrial translocator protein of the outer mitochondrial membrane, can directly interact with p62 (also known as SQSTM1), which is crucial for the degradation of damaged mitochondria by autophagy ...

Study of the Aminoglycoside Subsistence Phenotype of Bacteria Residing in the Gut of Humans and Zoo Animals [PDF]
Recent studies indicate that next to antibiotic resistance, bacteria are able to subsist on antibiotics as a carbon source. Here we evaluated the potential of gut bacteria from healthy human volunteers and zoo animals to subsist on antibiotics.

The studied strains, LIN_NWU_CNKT and LIN5_NWU_CNKT, exhibit invasiveness, pathogenicity, and MDR profiles. The isolation of these strains from food products and water underscores their significant public health implications, particularly in the context of the “One Health” concept.
