TL;DR: The structure of an Oct-1 POU domain-octamer DNA complex has been solved at 3.0 A resolution and the novel arrangement raises important questions about cooperativity in protein-DNA recognition.

TL;DR: A predictive rule for protein folding is presented that involves two recurrent glycine-based motifs that cap the carboxyl termini of alpha helices that represent an example of a stereochemical rule forprotein folding.

TL;DR: A transcriptional network of all genes with significantly oscillating transcript levels revealed that the majority of genes encoding enzymes in numerous individual biochemical pathways, such as glycolysis, oxidative pentose phosphate pathway, and glycogen metabolism, were coregulated and maximally expressed at distinct phases during the diurnal cycle.

TL;DR: The genome sequence provides important information regarding the ability of Cyanothece 51142 to accomplish metabolic compartmentalization and energy storage, as well as how a unicellular bacterium balances multiple, often incompatible, processes in a single cell.

TL;DR: Results support the presence of a heteromultimeric structure of Synechocystis bacterioferritin, in which one subunit ligates a di-iron center while the other accommodates heme binding, thus demonstrating a central role of bacterioFERritins in iron homeostasis in these photosynthetic organisms.
