Cryo-EM reveals structural dynamics of RNAP-DNA interactions during transcription initiation

Every living cell transcribes DNA into RNA. This process begins when an enzyme called RNA polymerase (RNAP) clamps onto DNA. Within a few hundred milliseconds, the DNA double helix unwinds to form a node known as the transcription bubble, so that one exposed DNA strand can be copied into a complementary RNA strand. How RNAP […]

Scientists map all the possible outcomes of changes to key tumor-suppressing gene

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have mapped all the possible outcomes of changes to a tumor-suppressing gene called VHL, the first step in a huge research endeavor to unpick the outcomes of tens of thousands of genetic variations in genes associated with cancer. This VHL map could help clinicians work out which patients are […]

More than 1,000 small changes in DNA identified that influence age of first period

In a recent study published in Nature Genetics, researchers examined nearly 800,000 women’s deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) to explore puberty timing complexities. They identified signals related to menarche timing and investigated their influence on puberty onset. Study: Understanding the genetic complexity of puberty timing across the allele frequency spectrum. Image Credit: CGN089/Shutterstock.com Background Age at menarche […]

Novel genetic predisposition to being overweight or obese identified

In a recent study published in Med, researchers performed a case-control study to compare metabolic changes between individuals homozygous for a loss-of-function (LoF) genetic variation in small integral membrane protein 1 (SMIM1) and the general population. Study: SMIM1 absence is associated with reduced energy expenditure and excess weight. Image Credit: james benjamin/Shutterstock.com Background Obesity is […]

TIMP-1 protein found to boost immune system’s fight against cancer

Researchers at the University of Turku in Finland have found a new function for an existing protein. They discovered that TIMP-1, a protein traditionally known to prevent damage to the body’s cells and tissues, plays a critical role in the immune system’s defense against cancer. The findings of the study could improve the effectiveness of […]

Natural antioxidants could delay age-related decline in male testosterone production

In a recent review published in the Nutrients, a group of authors reviewed the use of natural polyphenolic compounds to enhance testosterone production and prevent age-related hypogonadism in aging males. Study: Prevention of Male Late-Onset Hypogonadism by Natural Polyphenolic Antioxidants.

New therapeutic target discovered for treatment-resistant melanoma

An international research team led by scientists from the University of Liège (Belgium) has discovered an interesting new therapeutic target for the treatment of melanoma resistant to targeted therapies. Inhibition of the VARS enzyme could prevent this therapeutic resistance by resensitizing tumors resistant to these targeted therapies. Melanoma is one of the most serious and […]

hnRNPM’s protective role in protein synthesis precision uncovered

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions have discovered that a protein called hnRNPM helps protect the integrity of the process cells use to make proteins. hnRNPM works by preventing the cell from making mistakes while it is putting together the different components leading to newly produced proteins. In cancer cells, loss of […]

Researchers overturn the prevailing theory for colorectal tumor initiation

Research led by Weill Cornell Medicine provides new evidence that most colorectal cancers begin with the loss of intestinal stem cells, even before cancer-causing genetic alterations appear. The results, published on May 29 in Developmental Cell, overturn the prevailing theory for colorectal tumor initiation and suggest new ways to diagnose the disease before it has […]
