    Helicase Loading: A back-up mechanism for replication

    Godefroid Charbon, Anders Løbner-Olesen
    A protein called PriC allows DNA replication to proceed in Escherichia coli when the complex that usually initiates this process is compromised.

    A bacterial regulatory uORF senses multiple classes of ribosome-targeting antibiotics

    Gabriele Baniulyte, Joseph T Wade
    An upstream open-reading frame in Escherichia coli regulates expression of the downstream genes in response to diverse translation stresses.

    Primosomal protein PriC rescues replication initiation stress by bypassing the DnaA-DnaB interaction step for DnaB helicase loading at oriC

    Ryusei Yoshida, Kazuma Korogi ... Tsutomu Katayama
    PriC provides a bypass mechanism for compromised helicase loading at the origin of the Escherichia coli chromosome, which ensures the robustness of the chromosome replication initiation.

    Oxydifficidin, a potent Neisseria gonorrhoeae antibiotic due to DedA-assisted uptake and ribosomal protein RplL sensitivity

    Jingbo Kan, Adrian Morales-Amador ... Sean F Brady
    Oxydifficidin presents potent activity against multidrug-resistant Neisseria gonorrhea with a new mode of action, which opens a new avenue for potentially addressing antibiotic resistant gonorrhea.

    Scrutinized lipid utilization disrupts Amphotericin-B responsiveness in clinical isolates of Leishmania donovani

    Supratim Pradhan, Dhruba Dhar ... Budhaditya Mukherjee
    Nutritional adaptations in Leishmania donovani enable persistent antimony resistance and reduced Amphotericin-B effectiveness by selectively exploiting host lipids and limiting cholesterol mobilization.

    Phase transition of WTAP regulates m6A modification of interferon-stimulated genes

    Sihui Cai, Jie Zhou ... Jun Cui
    IFN-β-induced WTAP phase transition bridges STAT1 and MTC, which orchestrates m6A dynamics on ISG mRNAs to suppress excessive immune response and sustain immune homeostasis.
