TL;DR: A phylogenetic comparison of PCNA genes suggests that the multi-functionality observed in most species is a product of evolution.

TL;DR: The PCR-based methodology applied to multiple-locus variable numbers of tandem repeat (VNTR) analysis was recently shown to be a useful technique for the molecular typing of clinical isolates of several bacterial species and it was shown that the method allows typing of S. aureus strains with the discriminatory power and reproducibility of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.

TL;DR: The atomic resolution crystal structures of the two distinct Arabidopsis thaliana PCNAs are determined, implying that hetero‐PCNA rings may play critical roles in cellular signal transduction, particularly in DNA repair.

TL;DR: In this paper several novel discoveries regarding the action of the enzymes of the mlr cluster responsible for microcystin biodegradation are presented using recombinant proteins.

TL;DR: This is the first comparative analysis of all POR isoforms functioning at different stages of A. thaliana development and the most significant observation was that reconstituted Pchlide-POR-NADPH complexes showed fluorescence maxima at 77 K similar to those observed for highly aggregated PchLide-pora-NadPH complexes in prolamellar bodies (PLBs) in vivo.
