    Delving into polymerase 伪-primase dynamics

    In eukaryotes, DNA replication relies on the synthesis of a chimeric RNA/DNA primer by the heterotetrameric polymerase 伪-primase (pol-prim) enzyme. The primers generated by pol-prim consist of 7-10 ribonucleotides followed by ~20 deoxyribonucleotides and are generated by distinct active sites in the primase and polymerase subunits. Both… Read More

    Is DZA the new DNA? Structural and functional studies of a novel artificial pairing system

    Xeno nucleic acids (XNAs) are artificial pairing systems that replace the traditional deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) system present in most organisms. XNAs are of particular interest in the discovery and development of therapeutics as synthetic molecules offer a wider range of metabolic stability, uptake, distribution and binding partners compared to native… Read More

  • A glimpse into higher-order mRNP assemblies

    A glimpse into higher-order mRNP assemblies

    In eukaryotic cells, mRNA is transcribed in the nucleus. Protein factors rapidly bind to newly transcribed mRNA to form a messenger ribonucleoprotein (mRNP), which is exported to the cytoplasm for translation. One complex in humans vital for the formation and export of mRNPs is the transcription-export complex (TREX). TREX… Read More

  • On the origins of pentose sugars in everninomicin D biosynthesis

    On the origins of pentose sugars in everninomicin D biosynthesis

    Everninomicins are a family of naturally produced oligosaccharides, some of which exhibit ribosome-targeting antibiotic activity. Everninomicin A (EVA) was developed into late-phase clinical trials as an antibiotic but eventually pulled due to toxicity concerns. Toxicity was attributed to aggregates in the formulations, likely caused by 蟺-stacking interactions from flanking aromatic… Read More
