• Transmission routes of spreading protein particles
  

  In diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s endogenous proteins accumulate in the brain, eventually leading to the death of nerve cells. These deposits, which consist of abnormally formed proteins, are supposed to migrate between interconnected areas of the brain, thereby contributing to the develo more

• Assessing Microbial Metabolism Using A Simple ‘Mix & Measure’ Oxygen Consumption Assay
  

  MitoXpress® from Luxcel Biosciences is a water-soluble oxygen-sensitive phosphorescent probe that facilitates microplate based analysis of microbial oxygen consumption. The microbial metabolism implications of treatments such as drug exposure, genetic manipulation or altered cultured conditions can be easily accessed using BMG LABTECH´s FLUOstar Omega microplate reader to read both growth and oxygen consumption in parallel more

• Methylation of the Arginine 2 in Histone H3 Controls Deposition of Lysine 4 Tri-Methylation
  

  In a recent study, Kirmizis et al. demonstrated that H3R2 is methylated not only in mammals but also in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. By using a specific H3R2me2a antibody in a ChIP-on-Chip analysis the authors determined the distribution of the methylation throughout the yeast genome, finding an enrichment of H3R2me2a at all heterochromatic genes, at inactive euchromatic genes, and at the 3´-end of moderately transcribed genes. The presence of H3R2 methylation inversely correlates with the presence of H3K4 tri-methylation (H3K4me3) in all cases, reflecting the fact that H3R2 methylation disrupts the ability of the Set1-complex to methyl­ate H3K4 by preventing the Set1-methyltransferase subunit Spp1 from binding to to histone H3. These results show that H3R2 methylation controls the distribution of H3K4me3 and provide the first mechanistic insight into the function of arginine methylation on chromatin. more

• New: Multiplex Assays with Universal ProbeLibrary and Assay Design for Many More Organisms
  

  Since the availability of sound sequence data, organisms such as maize, rice, yeast, and zebrafish are gaining more and more importance in academic and industrial research, and the need for specific and quantitative real-time PCR assays for these organisms is growing. Instead of spending time on the lengthy development and optimization of SYBR Green I assays, you can now design highly specific probe-based intron-spanning assays for these organisms. more

• Identification and characterization of endo-{beta}-N-acetylglucosaminidase from methylotrophic yeast Ogataea minuta

  In four yeast strains, Ogataea minuta, Candida parapolymorpha, Pichia anomala and Zygosaccharomyces rouxii, we identified endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase (ENGase) homologous sequences by database searches; in each of the four species, a corresponding enzyme activity was also confirmed in crude cell more

• GC-Biased Gene Conversion in Yeast Is Specifically Associated with Crossovers: Molecular Mechanisms and Evolutionary Significance

  GC-biased gene conversion (gBGC) is a process associated with recombination that favors the transmission of GC alleles over AT alleles during meiosis. gBGC plays a major role in genome evolution in many eukaryotes. However, the molecular mechanisms of gBGC are still unknown. Different steps of the more

• Estimating Selection on Synonymous Codon Usage from Noisy Experimental Data

  A key goal in molecular evolution is to extract mechanistic insights from signatures of selection. A case study is codon usage, where despite many recent advances and hypotheses, two longstanding problems remain: the relative contribution of selection and mutation in determining codon frequencies a more
