How the Avidity of Polymerase Binding to the -35/-10 Promoter Sites Affects Gene Expression [PDF]
, 2019 Although the key promoter elements necessary to drive transcription in Escherichia coli have long been understood, we still cannot predict the behavior of arbitrary novel promoters, hampering our ability to characterize the myriad of sequenced regulatory architectures as well as to design novel synthetic circuits.

Cell‐free and extracellular vesicle microRNAs with clinical utility for solid tumors
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Cell‐free microRNAs (cfmiRs) are small‐RNA circulating molecules detectable in almost all body biofluids. Innovative technologies have improved the application of cfmiRs to oncology, with a focus on clinical needs for different solid tumors, but with emphasis on diagnosis, prognosis, cancer recurrence, as well as treatment monitoring.

The Replicase Protein of Potato Virus X Is Able to Recognize and Trans-Replicate Its RNA Component
VirusesThe trans-replication system explores the concept of separating the viral RNA involved in the translation of the replicase protein from the replication of the viral genome and has been successfully used to study the replication mechanisms of alphaviruses.

Bayesian inference of polymerase dynamics over the exclusion process [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Transcription is a complex phenomenon that permits the conversion of genetic information into phenotype by means of an enzyme called RNA polymerase, which erratically moves along and scans the DNA template. We perform Bayesian inference over a paradigmatic mechanistic model of non-equilibrium statistical physics, i.e., the asymmetric exclusion ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This study demonstrates that KRAS and GNAS mutations are more prevalent in patients with resected intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) compared to those under clinical surveillance. GNAS mutations significantly differ between the two patient cohorts, indicating that their absence may serve as a potential biomarker to support conservative ...

Transcription-translation machinery -- an autocatalytic network coupling all cellular cycles and generating a plethora of growth laws [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Recently discovered simple quantitative relations, known as bacterial growth laws, hint on the existence of simple underlying principles at the heart of bacterial growth. In this work, we provide a unifying picture on how these known relations, as well as new relations that we derive, stems from a universal autocatalytic network common to all bacteria,

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.We quantified and cultured circulating tumor cells (CTCs) of 62 patients with various cancer types and generated CTC‐derived tumoroid models from two salivary gland cancer patients. Cellular liquid biopsy‐derived information enabled molecular genetic assessment of systemic disease heterogeneity and functional testing for therapy selection in both ...

Enhancement of soybean RNA polymerase I by auxin. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1975 When etiolated soybean seedlings are treated with the synthetic auxin, 2,4-dichlorophenoxy-acetic acid, cells of the mature hypocotyl become swollen and proliferate abnormally. This abnormal growth induced by auxin coincides with a 5- to 8-fold increase in the alpha-amanitin-insensitive RNA polymerase associated with isolated chromatin or nuclei.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This study simultaneously investigated circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and exosomes from small‐cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients. The elevated expression of JUNB and CXCR4 in CTCs was a poor prognostic factor for SCLC patients, whereas exosomal overexpression of these biomarkers revealed a high discrimination ability of patients from healthy individuals,

Loss of Proteostasis Is a Pathomechanism in Cockayne Syndrome
Cell Reports, 2018 Summary: Retarded growth and neurodegeneration are hallmarks of the premature aging disease Cockayne syndrome (CS). Cockayne syndrome proteins take part in the key step of ribosomal biogenesis, transcription of RNA polymerase I.
