Advances in understanding grapevine downy mildew: From pathogen infection to disease management
A review and discussion of recent understanding of Plasmopara viticola from multiple aspects, including infection cycle, disease symptoms, genome decoding, effector biology, and management and control strategies. Abstract Plasmopara viticola is geographically widespread in grapevine‐growing regions.

Clerocidin selectively modifies the gyrase-DNA gate to induce irreversible and reversible DNA damage [PDF]
Clerocidin (CL), a microbial diterpenoid, reacts with DNA via its epoxide group and stimulates DNA cleavage by type II DNA topoisomerases. The molecular basis of CL action is poorly understood.

Two-Metal Ion Mechanism of DNA Cleavage in CRISPR-Cas9 [PDF]
CRISPR-Cas9 is a cutting-edge genome-editing technology, which employs the endonuclease Cas9 to cleave DNA sequences of interest. However, the catalytic mechanism of DNA cleavage and the critical role of the Mg2+ ions have remained elusive. Here, quantum–

Position-dependent inhibition of the cleavage step of pre-mRNA 3'-end processing by U1 snRNP [PDF]
The 3' ends of most eukaryotic pre-mRNAs are generated by 3' endonucleolytic cleavage and subsequent polyadenylation. 3'-end formation can be influenced positively or negatively by various factors.

Polymorphisms in Gag spacer peptide 1 confer varying levels of resistance to the HIV-1 maturation inhibitor bevirimat [PDF]
Background: The maturation inhibitor bevirimat (BVM) potently inhibits human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) replication by blocking capsid-spacer peptide 1 (CA-SP1) cleavage. Recent clinical trials demonstrated that a significant proportion of HIV-

Proteolysis of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) by calpain [PDF]
Calpains are non-lysosomal, Ca2+-dependent cysteine proteases, which are ubiquitously distributed across cell types and vertebrate species. The rules that govern calpain specificity have not yet been determined.

Towards Understanding Trans-Cleavage of Natural and Synthetic Nucleic Acids by Cas12a for Sensitive CRISPR Biosensing [PDF]
CRISPR/Cas systems have been widely utilized for the development of biosensing platforms for precision molecular diagnostics. Their remarkable biosensing performance critically depends on the efficiency of sequence-independent trans-cleavage in type V ...
