Insulation of ribosomal promoter activity by Fis, H-NS or a divergent promoter within the packed E. coli genome.

Gene expression in bacterial cells is dependent on a gene&prime s position along the genome, mainly because of the effects of neighbouring genes&prime expression, but also because of the local activity of nucleoid proteins, differing levels…

Triphenylamine Sensitized 8‐Dimethylaminoquinoline: An Efficient Two‐Photon Caging Group for Intracellular Delivery

Abstract Triphenylamine‐sensitized 8‐dimethylaminoquinoline (TAQ) probes showed fair two‐photon absorption and fragmentation cross sections in releasing kainate and GABA ligands. The water‐soluble PEG and TEG‐analogs allowed cell internalization and…

Stimulation of ATP Hydrolysis by ssDNA Provides the Necessary Mechanochemical Energy for G4 Unfolding

The G-quadruplex (G4) is a distinct geometric and electrophysical structure compared to classical doublestranded DNA, and its stability can impede essential cellular processes such as replication, transcription, and translation. This study focuses…

The catalytic triad of rice NARROW LEAF1 involves H234

NARROW LEAF1 (NAL1) exerts a multifaceted influence on leaf morphology and crop yield. Recent crystal study proposed that histidine 233 (H233) is part of the catalytic triad. Here we report that unlike suggested previously, H234 instead of H233 is a…

Structural insights into the N-terminal APHB domain of HrpA: mediating canonical and i-motif recognition

RNA helicases function as versatile enzymes primarily responsible for remodeling RNA secondary structures and organizing ribonucleoprotein complexes. In our study, we conducted a systematic analysis of the helicase-related activities of Escherichia…

Direct single-cell observation of a key Escherichia coli cell-cycle oscillator

Initiation of DNA replication in Escherichia coli is coupled to cell size via the DnaA protein, whose activity is dependent on its nucleotide-bound state. However, the oscillations in DnaA activity have never been observed at the single-cell level…

Nonstructural N- and C-tails of Dbp2 confer the protein full helicase activities

Human DDX5 and its yeast ortholog Dbp2 are ATP-dependent RNA helicases that play a keyrole in normal cell processes, cancer development and viral infection. The crystal structure ofthe RecA1-like domain of DDX5 is available, but the global structure…
