    Soil-borne fungi alter the apoplastic purinergic signaling in plants by deregulating the homeostasis of extracellular ATP and its metabolite adenosine

    Christopher Kesten, Valentin Leitner ... Clara Sanchez-Rodriguez
    Biochemical and in vivo physiology imaging reveal that plant pathogens actively imbalance the apoplastic eAdo/eATP levels as a virulence mechanism.

    Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide is transported into mammalian mitochondria

    Antonio Davila, Ling Liu ... Joseph A Baur
    Stable isotope labeling reveals that NAD crosses the inner membrane of mammalian mitochondria via an unknown transporter.

    Mechanisms of nucleotide selection by telomerase

    Matthew A Schaich, Samantha L Sanford ... Bret D Freudenthal
    The roles of key telomerase active site residues were elucidated to determine how telomerase selects the correct from the incorrect nucleotide to maintain telomere integrity.

    Targeting oncogenic KRasG13C with nucleotide-based covalent inhibitors

    Lisa Goebel, Tonia Kirschner ... Daniel Rauh
    The important oncogene KRasG13C can be targeted by covalently binding nucleotide-analogues, resulting in a locked protein that can no longer induce oncogenic signaling.

    Reformulation of an extant ATPase active site to mimic ancestral GTPase activity reveals a nucleotide base requirement for function

    Taylor B Updegrove, Jailynn Harke ... Kumaran S Ramamurthi
    Reengineering the nucleotide-binding pocket of an extant ATPase to restore ancestral GTPase activity revealed an ATP-dependent intermediate required for function and suggested why the protein evolved to use ATP.

    Random-sequence genetic oligomer pools display an innate potential for ligation and recombination

    Hannes Mutschler, Alexander I Taylor ... Philipp Holliger
    Random sequence RNA pools display an innate capacity for ligation and recombination, enabling them to “bootstrap” themselves towards higher compositional, informational and structural complexity.

    DTX3L ubiquitin ligase ubiquitinates single-stranded nucleic acids

    Emily L Dearlove, Chatrin Chatrin ... Danny T Huang
    Biochemical and structural analyses reveal direct ubiquitin modification of single-stranded nucleic acids, catalysed by the DTX3L ubiquitin ligase.

    Highly regulated, diversifying NTP-dependent biological conflict systems with implications for the emergence of multicellularity

    Gurmeet Kaur, A Maxwell Burroughs ... L Aravind
    Multicellular and socially aggregating prokaryotes contain previously undescribed, chaperone-based systems predicted to mediate defensive biological conflicts, several components of which are thematically similar antecedents of eukaryotic apoptosis pathways.

    A dedicated diribonuclease resolves a key bottleneck for the terminal step of RNA degradation

    Soo-Kyoung Kim, Justin D Lormand ... Vincent T Lee
    RNA degradation is completed through specific intermediates, such as diribonucleotides, which must be removed from the cells by a specific enzyme.

    A putative ATPase mediates RNA transcription and capping in a dsRNA virus

    Xuekui Yu, Jiansen Jiang ... Z Hong Zhou
    Atomic structures suggest a novel mechanism for the regulation of mRNA transcription and capping in dsRNA viruses.
