    Rad52-Rad51 association is essential to protect Rad51 filaments against Srs2, but facultative for filament formation

    Emilie Ma, Pauline Dupaigne ... Eric Coïc
    The association of Rad52 with Rad51, while not critical for Rad51 filament formation, is crucial to protect Rad51 filaments from Srs2 translocase activity through the association of Rad52 with complete Rad51 filaments.

    Nucleoporin107 mediates female sexual differentiation via Dsx

    Tikva Shore, Tgst Levi ... Offer Gerlitz
    A housekeeping nuclear transport regulator moonlights as a critical determinant of sex-specific regulation of a somatic stem cell niche during the development of Drosophila ovaries.

    Imaging and energetics of single SSB-ssDNA molecules reveal intramolecular condensation and insight into RecOR function

    Jason C Bell, Bian Liu, Stephen C Kowalczykowski
    Individual SSB-ssDNA complexes undergo reversible condensation and de-condensation that is modulated by RecOR during recombination.

    Bridged filaments of histone-like nucleoid structuring protein pause RNA polymerase and aid termination in bacteria

    Matthew V Kotlajich, Daniel R Hron ... Robert Landick
    Bridged H-NS filaments inhibit transcript elongation by bacterial RNA polymerase by enhancing backtracking and increasing Rho-dependent termination at a subset of pause sites that are normally poor Rho substrates.

    The horizontally-acquired response regulator SsrB drives a Salmonella lifestyle switch by relieving biofilm silencing

    Stuti K Desai, Ricksen S Winardhi ... Linda J Kenney
    A response regulator acquired via lateral gene transfer has rewired an ancestral genetic circuitry and regulates alternative pathogenic lifestyles.

    DNA polymerase V activity is autoregulated by a novel intrinsic DNA-dependent ATPase

    Aysen L Erdem, Malgorzata Jaszczur ... Myron F Goodman
    DNA synthesis by DNA polymerase V is regulated by an intrinsic DNA-dependent ATPase activity which has not been observed for any other polymerase.

    Monoubiquitination by the human Fanconi anemia core complex clamps FANCI:FANCD2 on DNA in filamentous arrays

    Winnie Tan, Sylvie van Twest ... Andrew J Deans
    Biochemical reconstitution experiments uncover the ubiquitin-mediated function of a DNA repair protein, key to the understanding of Fanconi Anemia, a cancer-associated bone marrow failure syndrome.

    A recombinant protein containing influenza viral conserved epitopes and superantigen induces broad-spectrum protection

    Yansheng Li, Mingkai Xu ... Chenggang Zhang
    By fusing influenza viral conserved epitopes and a superantigen fragment, we constructed a recombinant protein that might be a candidate universal broad-spectrum vaccine for the prevention and treatment of multiple influenza viruses.

    Comparative analysis of viral RNA signatures on different RIG-I-like receptors

    Raul Y Sanchez David, Chantal Combredet ... Anastassia V Komarova
    An experimental approach allowing characterization of viral RNA ligands recognized by RIG-I-like receptors during infection by any RNA viruses is established and validated.
