The H2TH-like motif of the Escherichia coli multifunctional protein KsgA is required for DNA binding involved in DNA repair and the suppression of mutation frequencies

Genes and Environment, 2023
Background DNA oxidatively damaged by reactive oxygen species is repaired by base excision repair (BER) pathway proteins, with DNA glycosylases removing damaged or mismatched bases in the first step of BER. KsgA is a multifunctional protein that exhibits

Response to Hyperosmotic Stress [PDF]

Genetics, 2012
Abstract An appropriate response and adaptation to hyperosmolarity, i.e., an external osmolarity that is higher than the physiological range, can be a matter of life or death for all cells. It is especially important for free-living organisms such as the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Ultrasound and Transcriptomics Identify a Differential Impact of Cisplatin and Histone Deacetylation on Tumor Structure and Microenvironment in a Patient-Derived In Vivo Model of Gastric Cancer

Pharmaceutics, 2021
The reasons behind the poor efficacy of transition metal-based chemotherapies (e.g., cisplatin) or targeted therapies (e.g., histone deacetylase inhibitors, HDACi) on gastric cancer (GC) remain elusive and recent studies suggested that the tumor ...
