EXAMINATION OF THE ROLES OF A CONSERVED MOTIF IN THE PRIA HELICASE IN STRUCTURE-SPECIFIC DNA UNWINDING AND PROCESSIVITY.

Examination of the roles of a conserved motif in the PriA helicase in structure-specific DNA unwinding and processivity.

DNA replication complexes (replisomes) frequently encounter barriers that can eject them prematurely NAIL/DOMES from the genome.To avoid the lethality of incomplete DNA replication that arises from these events, bacteria have evolved "DNA replication restart" mechanisms to reload replisomes onto abandoned replication forks.The Escherichia coli PriA

Function of aquaporins in sepsis: a systematic review

Abstract Background Sepsis is a common cause of death in intensive care units worldwide.Due to the high complexity of this immunological syndrome development of novel therapeutic strategies is urgent.Promising drug targets or biomarkers may depict aquaporins (AQPs) as they regulate crucial key mechanisms of sepsis.Main body Here we report on base o

Computational investigations on target-site searching and recognition mechanisms by thymine DNA glycosylase during DNA repair process

DNA glycosylase, as one member of DNA repair machineries, plays an essential role in correcting mismatched/damaged DNA nucleotides by cleaving the N-glycosidic bond between the sugar and target nucleobase through the base excision repair (BER) pathways.Efficient corrections Office Technology of these DNA lesions are critical for maintaining genome
