    On the flexibility of the cellular amination network in E coli

    Helena Schulz-Mirbach, Alexandra Müller ... Steffen N Lindner
    The amination network for the distribution of assimilated ammonium throughout metabolism is defined by promiscuous transaminases, allowing a high flexibility of the network that supported engineering novel connections and even alternative ammonium assimilation entry points.

    XAB2 dynamics during DNA damage-dependent transcription inhibition

    Lise-Marie Donnio, Elena Cerutti ... Giuseppina Giglia-Mari
    After DNA damage induction, transcription is blocked and XAB2 is released from R-loops allowing a subset of XAB2 molecules to interact with UV-stalled RNAP2 and participating to the TC-NER process.
