Plasmodium parasites have repurposed the heme oxygenase scaffold from its canonical heme-degrading function to fulfill an essential and adaptive role in gene expression within the apicoplast organelle.
Genetic analyses in budding yeast coupled with biochemical assays have revealed an unexpected role for the Smc5/6 complex in cellular pathways responsible for the prevention of RNA formation in genomic DNA.
The mechanical stability of a nucleosome is enhanced upon the introduction of a single base pair mismatch that makes DNA more bendable, with implications on mismatch repair in vivo.
