A sulfur-containing nucleoside antibiotic from Photorhabdus
We report the discovery of 4′-thiothymidine (4′sT), a sulfur-containing nucleoside antibiotic produced by the nematode symbiont Photorhabdus asymbiotica.

Novel Amino Acid Changes Increase Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase Output in planta
ABSTRACT Characterization of previously reported Arabidopsis mutants with increased aluminum (Al) resistance (alr) resulting from greater release of Al‐chelating malate identified three unique amino acid substitutions that each impacts PHOSPHOENOLPYRUVATE CARBOXYLASE 1, a key anaplerotic carbon fixation enzyme.

ABSTRACT Inherited factors account for a large share of breast cancer susceptibility, yet the biological consequences of most risk variants are still poorly understood. To address this gap, we studied 175 breast cancer risk variants confirmed by genome‐wide association studies and gathered the genes that lie near them.

Abruptly changing from aerobic to anaerobic conditions (sudden anaerobization) induced growth inhibition and a significant increase in intracellular labile ferrous iron in the aerotolerant anaerobe Amphibacillus xylanus. We found that free flavins mediate efficient electron transfer from NADH to ferric iron under anaerobic conditions, suggesting that ...

Thymidine kinase 1 in serum (STK1) of patients with gastric cancer was determined by two methods: ECL dot blot and radioactivity assay. Both measurements showed significantly different values for preoperative STK1 and healthy STK1 (p=0.012 for ECL dot ...

The role of cyclic AMP in the lipopolysaccharide-induced suppression of thymidine kinase activity in macrophage [PDF]
We observed that lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 1 μg/ml) can suppress [3H]thymidine incorporation into acid-insoluble fraction in a mouse macrophage cell line: J774 (over 70% at 6 h) without affecting the uptake of [3H]thymidine or DNA polymerase activity ...

Abstract Background Pelvic external beam radiation therapy (EBRT), frequently exposes a substantial fraction of active bone marrow (ABM), leading to radiation‐induced marrow suppression and associated hematologic toxicity. Accurate delineation and quantitative assessment of ABM are therefore essential to enable marrow‐sparing radiotherapy strategies ...

ABSTRACT Deoxyuridine (dUrd) is often misincorporated into genomic DNA in cancer patients receiving antimetabolite chemotherapy. This activates base excision repair and recruits ataxia telangiectasia‐mutated and Rad3‐related (ATR), which coordinates DNA repair with nucleotide metabolism by facilitating ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) activity ...
