How the cell deals with DNA nicks.
During lagging strand DNA replication, the Okazaki fragment maturation machinery is required to degrade the initiator RNA with high speed and efficiency, and to generate with great accuracy a proper DNA nick for closure by DNA ligase. Several operational parameters are important in generating and maintaining a ligatable nick. These are the strand opening capacity of the lagging strand DNA polym...
متن کاملHow the lung deals with oxidants.
Oxidants are compounds capable of withdrawing electrons from target atoms or molecules, thus initiating chemical reactions. In biological systems, oxidative modifications are often related to structural, functional and regulatory changes. Partially reduced oxygen species, also known as oxygen-derived free radicals, represent the most important group of biologically relevant oxidants. Significan...

متن کاملLeaky vessels: how the brain deals with pregnancy under pressure.
CHRONIC HYPERTENSION is a major health problem worldwide affecting 25% of the population. Because it is a key risk factor for cerebrovascular disease and stroke and a leading cause of cognitive decline, chronic hypertension has an enormous negative impact on the brain. Episodes of acute hypertension (hypertension emergencies) present an additional array of cerebrovascular and neurological probl...
متن کاملPolycomb/Trithorax response elements and epigenetic memory of cell identity.
Polycomb/Trithorax group response elements (PRE/TREs) are fascinating chromosomal pieces. Just a few hundred base pairs long, these elements can remember and maintain the active or silent transcriptional state of their associated genes for many cell generations, long after the initial determining activators and repressors have disappeared. Recently, substantial progress has been made towards un...
