  • Preclinical studies show M6620 (VX-970) synergizes with cisplatin to induce DNA damage and antitumor activity. (survivornet.com)

  • With the aim to contribute to a standardization of the protocols employed in DNA extraction and analysis, it was evaluated the integrity of DNA recovered from dental roots submitted to high temperatures, simulating what happens to burnt people. (bvsalud.org)
  • RNA-directed DNA methylation results in a characteristic modification pattern that is typified by methylation of cytosines in all sequence contexts (CG, CHG and CHH, where H is A, T or C) within the region of small RNA-DNA sequence homology [ 4 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Key components of the RNA-directed DNA methylation pathway include two functionally diversified RNA polymerase II (Pol II)-related RNA polymerases called Pol IV and Pol V [ 1 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Pol IV is needed to produce the small RNA trigger for methylation whereas Pol V acts downstream of small RNA biogenesis to facilitate de novo methylation of genomic DNA at the small RNA-targeted site. (biomedcentral.com)
  • In a current model, Pol V synthesizes scaffold transcripts that interact with ARGONAUTE4-bound small RNAs, which recruits the methylation machinery to the target DNA [ 3 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • In particular, asymmetric CHH methylation is a hallmark of RNA-directed DNA methylation. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Since then, he has been working as a postodoc in Dr. Wassenegger's lab (RLP AgroScience GmbH, AlPlanta) and his main field of interest is RNA-interference (RNAi) and RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) in plants. (degruyter.com)
  • The ssRNA(+), likely transferred into the nucleolus, is finally processed by a type III RNase and a DNA LIGASE into unit-length circular RNAs (8) ( Figure 1 ). (degruyter.com)
