KU80 suppresses endonuclease G activity to preserve genomic integrity
Under normal conditions, EndoG remains restricted to mitochondria and the genome remains intact. When KU80 is absent, EndoG translocates into the nucleus, where it promotes DNA fragmentation and genomic instability. Thus, this work highlights the importance of KU80 in tightly controlling EndoG localization to preserve genome stability.

Homologous recombination (HR) in Schizosaccharomyces pombe is essential when mating‐type switching–induced double‐strand breaks (DSBs) form at the mat1 locus. In h90 and h− strains, efficient mat1 DSB formation renders HR indispensable unless suppressors block these breaks.

Arsenite methyltransferase 3 is required for mitochondrial function and hepatic lipid metabolism
AS3MT is a protein that helps the body process arsenic, a naturally occurring toxin found in water and soil. We discovered it also helps cells make and use energy properly. Without AS3MT, cells' mitochondria do not work well, leading to fatty liver and reduced activity. Increasing AS3MT in liver cells restores energy and protects against arsenic damage,

Gene Editing for Haemophilia—The Next Frontier
ABSTRACT The recently approved haemophilia A and B gene therapies via adeno‐associated virus (AAV) showed a promising therapeutic response after a single injection, but there are still limitations, including the potential loss of transgene expression and restriction in adults.

Pentatricopeptide repeat proteins coordinate nucleus‐organelle communication by modulating RNA metabolism within chloroplasts and mitochondria. This review highlights how they control critical processes like photosynthesis, seed development, fertility restoration, and stress survival in crops, and explores their potential as programmable tools for RNA ...

Enhancing CRISPR/Cas‐Mediated Gene Knockout With Short Non‐Homologous Oligonucleotides
ABSTRACT Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a model green microalga that has great industrial potential as a sustainable bio‐factory for recombinant protein and high‐value chemical production. Efficient genome editing tools are required to redesign this organism for synthetic biology applications. CRISPR‐Cas editing technologies have already been adapted for

Rooting Conifer Genetic Research: An Accessible and Efficient Transformation System
ABSTRACT Conifers serve as the cornerstone of global forest ecosystems, yet their genetic transformation faces notorious challenges. To overcome the intrinsic resistance of conifer adventitious roots to Agrobacterium/Rhizobium‐mediated transformation, we systematically and iteratively engineered the binary vector by introducing chimeric Ri plasmid ...

ABSTRACT Plant viruses cause significant crop losses, a situation that could worsen due to anthropogenic activities driving global climate change, one factor of which is the increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration. This study assessed the impact of elevated CO2 concentration (eCO2, 1000 vs. 400 ppm) on two genotypes of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris

DNA Flap‐Mediated Control of Transcription for Programmable RNA Synthesis
Pyrimidine‐rich ssDNA flaps on the T7 promoter inhibit T7 RNA polymerase (T7RP) transcription. Leveraging this pyrimidine bias, we developed DNAzyme‐ and MNAzyme‐mediated flap promoter induced transcription control (D‐FIT and M‐FIT) systems. These platforms enable regulated transcription and sequence‐specific detection, highlighting the programmable ...

Advances in large DNA fragment assembly for microbial cell factory engineering
Abstract The efficient, rapid, and reliable assembly of DNA fragments is essential for advancing metabolic engineering and synthetic biology. With the rapid advancement of DNA synthesis and assembly technologies, the scale of DNA assembly has expanded from single genes to metabolic pathways and even genomes.
