MicroRNAs: All Gone and Then What?

MicroRNAs are abundant gene regulatory factors whose function in animal development and homeostasis is poorly understood. A new study reports the genetic elimination of miRNA function on a full genomic scale and identifies a subfamily of miRNAs involved in brain morphogenesis.

Eukaryotic DNA replication control: lock and load, then fire.

The initiation of chromosomal DNA replication involves initiator proteins that recruit and load hexameric DNA helicases at replication origins. This helicase loading step is tightly regulated in bacteria and eukaryotes. In contrast to the situation in bacteria, the eukaryotic helicase is loaded in an inactive form. This extra 'lock and load' mechanism in eukaryotes allows regulation of a second...
