Simultaneous disruption of two DNA polymerases, Polη and Polζ, in Avian DT40 cells unmasks the role of Polη in cellular response to various DNA lesions [PDF]
Replicative DNA polymerases are frequently stalled by DNA lesions. The resulting replication blockage is released by homologous recombination (HR) and translesion DNA synthesis (TLS). TLS employs specialized TLS polymerases to bypass DNA lesions.

Tools and drugs for uracil nucleotide-activated P2Y receptors
P2Y receptors (P2YRs) are a family of G protein-coupled receptors activated by extracellular nucleotides. Physiological P2YR agonists include purine and pyrimidine nucleoside di- and triphosphates, such as ATP, ADP, UTP, UDP, nucleotide sugars, and dinucleotides.

Involvement of uracil nucleotides in protection of cardiomyocytes from hypoxic stress [PDF]
Cardiomyocytes express one or more subtypes of P2 receptors for extracellular nucleotides. P2 purinoceptors, which are activated by nucleotides, are classified as P2X or P2Y: P2X receptors are ligand-gated intrinsic ion channels, and P2Y receptors are G protein-coupled receptors.

Northern Blot of tRNA in Yeast
tRNAs are small RNAs around 70-90 nt. tRNAs are different from many other small RNAs in that they are very abundant, which makes it difficult to study their transcriptional regulation by traditional northern blot.

Road blocks on paleogenomes - polymerase extension profiling reveals the frequency of blocking lesions in ancient DNA [PDF]
Although the last few years have seen great progress in DNA sequence retrieval from fossil specimens, some of the characteristics of ancient DNA remain poorly understood. This is particularly true for blocking lesions, i.e.

On the prebiotic selection of nucleotide anomers: A computational study
Present-day known predominance of the β- over the α-anomers in nucleosides and nucleotides emerges from a thermodynamic analysis of their assembly from their components, i.e. bases, sugars, and a phosphate group.

Catalytic mechanism of alpha-phosphate attack in dUTPase is revealed by X-ray crystallographic snapshots of distinct intermediates, 31P-NMR spectroscopy and reaction path modelling. [PDF]
Enzymatic synthesis and hydrolysis of nucleoside phosphate compounds play a key role in various biological pathways, like signal transduction, DNA synthesis and metabolism.

Background Low levels of uracil in DNA result from misincorporation of dUMP or cytosine deamination. Vaccinia virus (VACV), the prototype poxvirus, encodes two enzymes that can potentially reduce the amount of uracil in DNA.
