Unveiling Novel RecO Distant Orthologues Involved in Homologous Recombination

TL;DR: In insight into the mechanisms that this successful pathogen uses to generate genetic diversity and adapt to changing environments and new hosts, it is found that neither RecOR nor RecB contributes to transformation, suggesting the presence of a third, specialized, RecA-dependent pathway responsible for the integration of transforming DNA into the chromosome of this naturally competent bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI

Versatility and invariance in the evolution of homologous heteromeric interfaces.

TL;DR: This study systematically and quantitatively analyzed the conservation of different types of interface contacts in protein-protein interactions and identifies two important interface descriptors which correlate with an increased conservation in the evolution of interfaces: apolar patches and contacts surrounding anchor residues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protein design based on folding models.

TL;DR: The basic rules governing the folding of small, single-domain proteins are being discovered and new algorithms that can predict the major features of the folding process give the opportunity to design and optimise protein folding in a rational way.
Journal ArticleDOI

The PHD finger protein Spp1 has distinct functions in the Set1 and the meiotic DSB formation complexes.

TL;DR: This work proposes a model where Spp1 works in three ways to promote recombination initiation: first by depositing histone H3K4 methylation (Set1 complex), next by “reading” and protecting histoneH3K 4 methylation, and finally by making the link with the chromosome axis (Mer2-Spp1 complex).
