Critical involvement of the ATM-dependent DNA damage response in the apoptotic demise of HIV-1-elicited syncytia. [PDF]
DNA damage can activate the oncosuppressor protein ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), which phosphorylates the histone H2AX within characteristic DNA damage foci.

Mathematical modelling of serine integrase - mediated gene assembly [PDF]
Abstract Site-specific recombination promoted by serine integrases can be used for ordered assembly of DNA fragments into larger arrays. When a plasmid vector is included in the assembly, the circular product DNA molecules can transform E. coli cells.

The catalytic residues of Tn3 resolvase [PDF]
To characterize the residues that participate in the catalysis of DNA cleavage and rejoining by the site-specific recombinase Tn3 resolvase, we mutated conserved polar or charged residues in the catalytic domain of an activated resolvase variant.

Variable orthogonality of RDF – large serine integrase interactions within the ϕC31 family
Abstract Large serine integrases are phage- (or mobile element-) encoded enzymes that catalyse site-specific recombination reactions between a short DNA sequence on the phage genome ( attP ) and a corresponding host genome sequence ( attB ...

Adaptation of the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii to a specialized nutritional niche
Unlike most Drosophila larvae that feed on spoiled food, Drosophila suzukii larvae thrive on ripening fruits and consequently face a low‐protein, high‐carbohydrate nutritional challenge. Comparisons of growth among D. suzukii, D. biarmipes, and D. melanogaster larvae across diets with varying protein‐to‐carbohydrate ratios demonstrate that D.

Genome‐Wide In Silico Analysis of the Type VI Secretion System (T6SS) Within the Morganella Genus
▪ Species‐specific T6SS patterns among Morganella genus (M. morganii and M. sibonii). ▪ Only one‐third of M. morganii isolates haboured a T6SS. ▪ All M. sibonii possess four T6SS clusters. ▪ M. sibonii exhibited a wide diversity of effectors compared to M. morganii.

Accuracy and efficiency define Bxb1 integrase as the best of fifteen candidate serine recombinases for the integration of DNA into the human genome [PDF]
Background: Phage-encoded serine integrases, such as φC31 integrase, are widely used for genome engineering. Fifteen such integrases have been described but their utility for genome engineering has not been compared in uniform assays.

It is well known that bacteriophages play crucial roles in many aspects, such as controlling the number and the diversity of bacteria and participating in horizontal gene transfer, which is a key process in the evolution of bacteria. However, so far, the

Wastewater from urban and rural areas was analyzed to investigate antimicrobial‐resistant bacteria and resistance genes. ESBL‐Escherichia coli and genes coding for clinically relevant resistances, namely, those to macrolides, carbapenems, and vancomycin, were higher in urban than in rural areas.
