Contrasting roles for G-quadruplexes in regulating human Bcl-2 and virus homologues KSHV KS-Bcl-2 and EBV BHRF1

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Herpesviruses are known to acquire several genes from their hosts during evolution. We found that a significant proportion of virus homologues encoded by HSV-1, HSV-2, EBV and KSHV and their human counterparts contain G-quadruplex motifs in their ...

Analysis of G-quadruplexes upstream of herpesvirus miRNAs: evidence of G-quadruplex mediated regulation of KSHV miR-K12–1-9,11 cluster and HCMV miR-US33

open access: yesBMC Molecular and Cell Biology, 2020
Background G-quadruplexes regulate gene expression, recombination, packaging and latency in herpesviruses. Herpesvirus-encoded miRNAs have been linked to important biological functions. The presence and the biological role of G-quadruplexes have not been

Genetic determinants of neuroglobin transcription [PDF]

open access: yesneurogenetics, 2013
Neuroglobin (NGB) is a neuron-specific vertebrate globin shown to protect against hypoxia, ischemia, oxidative stress and the toxic effects of Amyloid-beta. Following on our and others' results highlighting the importance of NGB expression in disease, we searched for genetic determinants of its expression.

Microbiome analysis of saliva from oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients and tobacco abusers with potential biomarkers for oral cancer screening

open access: yesHeliyon, 2023
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common type of oral cancer and accounts for about 95% of all head and neck cancers with high mortality, usually at a late stage.

Evaluation of seaweed sulfated polysaccharides as natural antagonists targeting Salmonella typhi OmpF: molecular docking and pharmacokinetic profiling

open access: yesBeni-Suef University Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 2022
Background Salmonella belongs to the Enterobacteriaceae family, a gram-negative, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped, motile, and pathogenic bacteria that transmit through unhygienic conditions.

Genetic Regulation of Transcription in the Endometrium in Health and Disease [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Reproductive Health, 2022
The endometrium is a complex and dynamic tissue essential for fertility and implicated in many reproductive disorders. The tissue consists of glandular epithelium and vascularised stroma and is unique because it is constantly shed and regrown with each menstrual cycle, generating up to 10 mm of new mucosa. Consequently, there are marked changes in cell

Transcription Factor-Based Genetic Engineering in Microalgae

open access: yesPlants, 2021
Sequence-specific DNA-binding transcription factors (TFs) are key components of gene regulatory networks. Advances in high-throughput sequencing have facilitated the rapid acquisition of whole genome assembly and TF repertoires in microalgal species.

Optogenetics for transcriptional programming and genetic engineering

open access: yesTrends in Genetics, 2022
Optogenetics combines genetics and biophotonics to enable noninvasive control of biological processes with high spatiotemporal precision. When engineered into protein machineries that govern the cellular information flow as depicted in the central dogma, multiple genetically encoded non-opsin photosensory modules have been harnessed to modulate gene ...

Genetics in Light of Transcriptional Adaptation

open access: yesTrends in Genetics, 2020
Genetics has recently benefited from the genome engineering revolution: genes can be knocked out, knocked down, or activated more easily than ever before. This range of genetic manipulations has also provided a range of outcomes, sometimes contradictory. But how much interesting biology hides within these discrepancies?
