A group of Swedish and Russian scientists led by Sergey Nikolaev argue that the APOBEC protein, which normally protects against viruses, takes advantage of DNA replication weaknesses to insert mutations into the genome. The APOBEC protein acts when the lagging strand is single-stranded, causing early mutations in important genes. Studying yeast cells provided new insights into how replication can go wrong and when. Understanding DNA replication could help intervene in copying errors to ensure proper genome replication and improve patient quality of life. Further research on proteins influencing replication errors may help prevent cancers.

Central dogma of genetic information
The documents discuss new research challenging the idea of the selfish gene, proposing that evolution is instead driven by the selfish ribosome. The ribosome contains the machinery for translating genetic information from DNA into proteins. Research suggests the ribosome was central to the origin of the first cell and its complex structure makes even minor mutations highly lethal for viruses. Studies of the central dogma of genetics and how life began are important for advancing medicine by providing new perspectives to approach genetic problems and find cures for diseases.

CENTRAL DOGMA IN MOLECULAR BIOLOGY- Folding
We know that DNA is located in the nucleus, but not all the actions are performed there. Therefore, must be an intermediary that helps the DNA in the transport of the information from the nucleus to cytoplasm.
The intermediary is the RNA that allows to carry it to the cytoplasm for begin with the synthesis of proteins.
The procedure in that the RNA allows the protein's synthesis is the genetic code, which is organized of a way where three nucleotides can do an aminoacid.
But there are cases when some kinds of organism don´t have the same way to do this process, like the virus, retrovirus and prions.

This document summarizes a research study analyzing antigenic epitopes on the outer membrane protein A (OmpA) of Escherichia coli identified using single-chain variable fragment antibodies (scFv). The study used phage display technology to generate an antibody library and isolate scFv fragments that bind to OmpA. Results showed that the scFv antibodies specifically recognized OmpA protein on the cell surface of E. coli by immunoblot and ELISA assays. The identification of OmpA binding epitopes could aid in developing diagnostic tools and therapeutics for bacterial infections like meningitis.

Central dogma of dna
This document discusses the central dogma of DNA and its importance in medical research and treatment. It begins with an introduction to the central dogma - that DNA is located in the nucleus and controls protein synthesis in the cytoplasm through DNA to RNA to protein. It then summarizes several recent studies involving controlling gene expression and cell growth, developing RNA vaccines, and using knowledge of the central dogma for therapeutic purposes like improving cancer treatments. In the conclusion, a student observes that understanding how the central dogma relates to medicine today can help with disease diagnosis and treatment.
DNA replication
The document discusses two recent scientific findings related to cancer research. First, scientists discovered that the APOBEC protein, which normally fights viruses by modifying single-stranded DNA, can cause mutations in human DNA when the DNA replication process goes wrong. Abnormalities that leave parts of DNA single-stranded allow APOBEC to act as a mutagen. Second, the FDA approved the drug Halaven to treat liposarcoma, a rare soft tissue cancer. Halaven blocks cell division and has been shown to be effective against tumors, though it can lower white blood cell count. The findings contribute to understanding cancer causes at the molecular level and to developing new targeted treatments.

DNA contains the genetic blueprint for human life. It can be used to diagnose diseases by comparing DNA sequences between past and present humans. DNA is transcribed into RNA, some of which encodes proteins and some that performs regulatory functions by determining gene expression. Scientists have discovered that up to 30% of human DNA is conserved at the RNA structure level through a process called transcription. Understanding how RNA is regulated through interactions with proteins and sequences is important for identifying patterns involved in diseases and their treatment.Summary slides by Prabhakar Chalise of the Oberg et al. 2012 article "Technic...

Autoantibodies detection methods
The document discusses and compares traditional and advanced techniques for detecting autoantibodies in autoimmune diseases. It describes several methods including indirect immunofluorescence (IIF), ELISA, line blot, and multiplex bead-based immunoassays. IIF using HEp-2 cells is considered the reference standard for initial ANA screening due to its ability to detect over 100 targets, but it has limitations like subjectivity. ELISA and line blots are useful for confirming specific autoantibodies. Newer multiplex bead-based assays allow simultaneous detection of multiple autoantibodies and have advantages like automation, but may miss some targets. The optimal testing approach depends on the clinical scenario and usually involves initial screening by IIF followed
SEMINARIO BIOLOGIA MOLECULAR
This document presents research analyzing the effects of edelfosine, a phospholipase C inhibitor, on mRNA and protein expression of GRA1 and MIC3 in acute toxoplasmosis models. The study finds that edelfosine reduces both GRA1 and MIC3 mRNA and protein expression in a dose-dependent manner when administered at the time of infection or 24 hours later. This suggests edelfosine may be an effective treatment for toxoplasmosis by blocking gene expression of the parasite. The results provide insight into using edelfosine and investigating other substances' potential as treatments by examining their effects on pathogen gene expression.
Gene technology
The document describes the process of using gene technology to produce bacteria that synthesize human insulin. The key steps are:
1) Identifying the human insulin gene.
2) Isolating mRNA, making cDNA using reverse transcriptase, and cloning the DNA using DNA polymerase.
3) Inserting the DNA into a plasmid vector using restriction enzymes and DNA ligase.
4) Inserting the plasmid vector into a host bacterium.
5) Identifying genetically modified bacteria using antibiotic resistance genes and cloning/harvesting the human insulin. Treating diabetics with bacterial insulin provides the advantages of a low-cost, low-risk treatment.
Sjogren ppt
This study examined the effects of bone marrow cell treatment on salivary glands in mice with Sjögren's syndrome. Researchers extracted mRNA from salivary gland cells of mice with Sjögren's syndrome and used real-time PCR to analyze gene expression. They found that bone marrow cell treatment upregulated genes related to saliva production and downregulated genes associated with inflammation. Specifically, amylase and parotid secretary protein genes were upregulated while the Sjögren's syndrome antigen gene was downregulated. Inflammatory cytokines were also downregulated and growth factors upregulated. This suggests bone marrow cell treatment may successfully repair damaged salivary glands by reducing inflammation and improving cell regeneration and differentiation.

The document discusses recent advances in understanding DNA regulation and replication. A key finding was the discovery of an enzyme thought to reside only in mitochondria, but is also found in the nucleus and may be involved in epigenetic regulation of DNA. Additionally, researchers created the first model of the eukaryotic DNA replication fork using yeast enzymes. This model allows study of the replication process and its regulation in fine detail. These discoveries provide insights into normal biological functions and disease states, aiding medical research and potential new treatments.
DNA REPARATION ELISA OROZCO
This document summarizes research on mechanisms for repairing damaged DNA, including non-homologous end joining and homologous recombination. It discusses how enzymes act to replace lost DNA information before joining, and how further research on these enzymes may help prevent diseases like cancer via gene therapy. The document also discusses how the p53 tumor suppressor protein prevents genome mutation, and research showing statins may help prevent damage caused by mutated p53 and prevent its destruction by enzymes. Statins are said to have potential benefits for treating cancer by preventing chemotherapy resistance and metastasis. Overall, further research on DNA repair mechanisms and related proteins is said to lead to improved control of diseases through prevention, detection and treatment approaches.
Microbiology.
Prions are proteinaceous pathogens that cause transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) by changing their structure from a normal alpha helix form (PrPC) to an abnormal beta-pleated sheet form (PrPSc). Current treatments aim to reduce PrPC conversion through RNA interference or active DNA vaccination, but these have limitations. While RNAi risks saturating proteins and reducing long-term effectiveness, active DNA vaccination may delay but not prevent disease progression. Chemically modified oligonucleotides can also bind PrPC and prevent conversion, but their effects are very toxic. The best current option is active DNA vaccination, as it delays onset without adverse side effects like the other treatments.
Mechanisms of DNA repair
This document discusses DNA repair mechanisms and factors that can affect them. It describes the main DNA repair pathways, including direct reversal, cleavage mechanisms like NER and BER, and double strand mechanisms like homologous recombination. Night shifts are said to lower melatonin levels and inhibit the NER pathway. A new gene mutation was found to cause Fanconi anemia by disrupting double strand break repair. Understanding DNA repair is important for developing markers, treatments, and prevention strategies for cancers and other diseases linked to DNA damage.
Polymerase Chain Reaction
PCR is a method for amplifying a specific DNA sequence using DNA polymerase. It involves repeated cycles of heating and cooling of the DNA sample to separate and copy the DNA strands. Dr. Kary Mullis discovered PCR in 1983 and was awarded the Nobel Prize for it. PCR is now used in a variety of applications including forensics, disease diagnosis, genetic testing, and evolutionary studies. It allows scientists to generate millions of copies of a specific DNA segment.
Ana To Ena
This document discusses testing for anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) and anti-extractable nuclear antigens (ENA) antibodies. It makes three key points:
1. A positive ANA test, depending on the titer and pattern, should be followed by anti-ENA antibody testing to help differentiate between types of autoimmune diseases.
2. New methods for detecting anti-ENA antibodies like line blots and flow cytometry provide more information than older methods but require large clinical studies to validate their clinical relevance.
3. Proper interpretation of anti-ENA antibody results requires an understanding of the testing methods and how results are reported.
Research Abstract
This study examined how aging affects AICD gene expression in zebrafish. The researchers analyzed AICD RNA levels in the gut tissue of 5-, 11-, and 13-month old zebrafish using qPCR and found no significant difference, indicating that AICD expression is not altered during this period. They also found that changing the zebrafish housing conditions did not affect AICD levels. Future work will involve analyzing AICD and Tcf3a gene expression in 20-month old zebrafish to further study the effects of aging, requiring the isolation of B-cells from the zebrafish.
DNA Plegable
Scientists have discovered new insights into the DNA replication process and how errors can occur. A group found that the APOBEC protein, which normally protects against viruses, can take advantage of single-stranded DNA during replication to cause mutations leading to cancer. Separately, other scientists used cryo-electron microscopy to image the helicase enzyme in action, finding it has two conformations and works like a pumpjack to separate DNA strands for copying. Understanding replication errors and how proteins interact with DNA could help prevent mutations and fight diseases.
RNA processing
This document discusses RNA processing and the roles of various proteins involved. It describes how angiogenin regulates hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells by inducing different types of RNA processing - tiRNA to promote quiescence in stem cells and rRNA to promote proliferation in myeloid progenitor cells. This has implications for improving stem cell transplantation outcomes. The document also discusses how PARP proteins regulate gene expression and RNA processing, with PARP inhibitors being used in cancer treatments, and how further understanding their targets could improve cancer therapies.

Researchers at the UT Southwestern Medical Center and the University of Geneva studied how certain genes and proteins involved in maintaining genetic stability can sometimes contribute to cancer development. They found:
1) Mutations in the p53 tumor suppressor gene, which normally restrains mobile genetic elements, were prevalent in cancer samples. This leads to genomic instability by allowing increased movement of these elements within chromosomes.
2) The APOBEC protein, intended to fight viruses by modifying single-stranded DNA, can exploit weaknesses during human DNA replication to introduce mutations, as detected in tumor cells. It acts on the single strands present during replication fork separation.
3) Understanding how p53 and APOBEC influence genetic

The document discusses two scientific discoveries. The first is that an enzyme called UvrD was found to reverse stalled transcription machinery in E. coli, allowing RNA polymerase to backtrack and expose problems in the DNA strand to facilitate repair without terminating transcription. The second discovery found that a genetic mutation in the DNA repair gene POLB in mice unexpectedly caused lupus-like symptoms, identifying a potential genetic cause of the autoimmune disease lupus in humans. Finding the causes of diseases like lupus could help develop new and less toxic treatments. Both discoveries provide insights that could improve understanding of diseases and lead to better prevention and treatment options.

The second article discusses how DNA origami was used to test the effects of ephrin placement on the EphA2 receptor in cancer cells, finding it reduced invasiveness. The document concludes that further research using specialized techniques can improve understanding of disease pathophysiology and lead to potential cures in the future.

The document discusses DNA replication and the role of the APOBEC protein. It summarizes that DNA replication is the process where one DNA molecule makes two identical copies of itself. It then explains that the APOBEC protein normally protects against viruses but can also cause mutations during DNA replication, potentially leading to cancer. The student notes it is important to understand these mechanisms to research ways to prevent cancer. A second section discusses how cancer cells can maintain telomere length to continue replicating, and researchers have identified the protein SMARCAL1 as playing a key role in this alternative lengthening of telomeres pathway used by some cancer cells. Understanding this pathway could lead to new targeted cancer therapies.
Dna replication
The document discusses DNA replication and how it can go awry. It normally faithfully copies DNA but the APOBEC protein, which normally protects against viruses, can instead cause mutations by interfering with replication. This can lead to cancer. Researchers identified that the protein SMARCAL1 is key to alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT), a pathway cancer cells use to maintain telomere length and bypass growth arrest. Understanding these replication and repair pathways could lead to new targeted cancer therapies.
The evolution of medicine: DNA
This document summarizes and comments on three scientific articles about recent discoveries related to DNA regulation and replication. The first article discusses a discovery about how metabolism is linked to epigenetic regulation of DNA through an enzyme that transfers acetyl groups. The second article discusses reconstituting the DNA replication fork to study its process and regulation. The third discusses the medical importance of understanding DNA replication and regulation to develop new disease treatments.
La celula plegable
This document discusses several scientific findings related to cells and viruses:
1. Scientists identified a protein called ANP32A that allows avian flu viruses to replicate in cells. When this protein was removed, viral infection stopped.
2. Researchers developed a technique to tag chemotherapy drugs with fluorescent nanoparticles in order to track how drugs move through cells in real time. This could help understand varying patient responses to treatments.
3. The document discusses how genetic material in cells can be manipulated for therapeutic use, and cells like stem cells may help treat conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. The cell is an important target for various medical therapies.
the cell
This document contains multiple passages about scientific research related to cells and viruses. The first passage provides background on common features of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The second passage describes the role of the nucleus and DNA replication in eukaryotic cells. Subsequent passages summarize recent scientific findings on proteins that allow flu viruses to replicate, techniques to track chemotherapy using fluorescent nanoparticles, and the potential medical applications of manipulating cells and genetic material.
DNA REPLICATION
DNA replication is a semiconservative process. It means that each strand acts as a template for the synthesis of a new complementary strand. Therefore, this process takes us from one parent molecule to two daughter molecules, with each newly formed double helix containing one new and one old strand.
Molecular biology
The document summarizes several studies on DNA replication and the molecular machinery involved. It describes how researchers used tools like molecular biology and biochemistry to slow down and "freeze" the replication process at intermediate steps. This allowed them to observe conformational changes in proteins like the origin recognition complex (ORC) as it recruits the helicase enzyme to unwind DNA. Cryo-electron microscopy was then used to capture 3D structures of the protein components and reveal how they interact during replication initiation. The studies provide new insights into this critical cellular process.
New Approach to Protecting Prion from Altering and 'Cowcatcher' Enzyme Fixes ...
Researchers made two discoveries about proteins involved in DNA replication and prion diseases:
1) Scientists at UTMB found that the protein NEIL1 acts as a "cowcatcher" by scanning DNA for errors ahead of the replication machinery and signaling it to stop so repairs can be made. This revealed NEIL1's previously unknown role in replication error correction.
2) Researchers at Case Western modified a prion protein to stabilize its normal shape and prevent conversion to the abnormal form that causes diseases. Mice with this variant were resistant to prion infection, demonstrating this approach could block prion disease progression.
These studies provide new insights into DNA repair mechanisms and potential treatments for prion diseases.
Diapositivas plegable biomol
The document summarizes two studies about proteins that cause mutations. One study found that APOBEC proteins, which are involved in immune activities, cause over 70% of mutations in cancers like cervical, bladder, and lung tumors. The mutations may be influenced by environmental factors. The second study was the first to perform full genome sequencing on people with autism and found genetic risk factors for autism that could lead to improved treatments and allow for earlier diagnosis through genetic screening.
DNA replication
The document discusses two studies related to DNA replication and cancer. The first study found that certain enzymes in the APOBEC family can cause mutations during DNA replication by deaminating cytosines, potentially leading to cancer. The second study identified a protein pathway that some cancer cells use to replicate their DNA and which could be a target for new cancer therapies. Understanding the processes of DNA replication and how they can be disrupted provides insights into cancer development and new opportunities for diagnosis and treatment.
Mechanisms of genetic material repair.
The mechanisms of DNA repair help us maintain the body in a normal physiological state, despite of the constant inducing damage that we are exposed.
But if these repair mechanisms fail for some reason it could cause mutations, cell death and many diseases.
Therefore, a low mutation rate indicates the efficiency of repair mechanisms, but a failure of these will be the cause of several mutations.
Several studies point to the discovery of new mechanisms of repair, so try to create treatments for diseases.

This new single-cell technique can map epigenetic marks like DNA methylation across the whole genome at single-cell resolution. It has revealed significant variation in epigenetic marks between individual cells during development. The technique involves treating cellular DNA with bisulfite to show methylation mark locations via sequencing. This technique will help understand embryonic development and may enhance applications in cancer therapy and fertility treatment.
Reparación material genético
Scientists have developed new methods to study DNA structure and mutations. One study showed how smoking can chemically alter DNA building blocks, leading to mutations, and researchers created artificial counterparts to detect specific mutation sites. Another found that DNA replication leaves about 1.5% of "scaffold" sequences unremoved, in regulatory gene switches, causing diseases. Understanding these scaffolds may help find disease-causing mutations, aiding treatment.
pleable biologia molecular
The document discusses transcription and RNA processing. It summarizes two scientific articles about regulating DNA transcription in bacteria and accessing DNA in mitochondria to treat disease. The first article finds that a riboswitch can regulate transcription in bacteria and may be a target for new antibiotics. The second discovers compounds that can access mitochondrial DNA to silence genes associated with nerve and muscle diseases. The medical utility section argues that further research on transcription and RNA processing could provide new treatments for common neurological disorders and address the growing problem of antibiotic resistance.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s Perspective
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

DNA Replications
- 1. Yolanda Valderrama Henao Med. Student UPB 000265534
- 6. A group of Swedish and Russian scientists led by Sergey Nikolaev, a geneticist at the University of Geneva, Switzerland, argue that the APOBEC protein that normally functions as a protective agent against viral infection takes advantage of a weakness in the process of DNA replication to enter mutations in the genome.
- 8. The protein APOBEC Takes advantage of the moment when the lagging strand remains single to mutations. In APOBEC cancers, mutations occur very early in the process of replication and affect important genes.
- 9. STUDENT OBSERVATION I found very interesting that there are new studies on the process of replication and a protein that normally functions as a protective agent is now involved in this process causing cancer and DNA damage.
- 11. The scientists studied the proteins in yeast cells that has many characteristics with human cells, that providing a new vision of the replication process and when and how can go wrong.
- 13. One part of the helicase binds and releases energy from a molecule called ATP. It converts the chemical energy into a mechanical force that changes the shape of the helicase. After kicking out the spent ATP, the helicase complex goes back to its original shape so a new ATP molecule can come in and start the process again
- 14. STUDENT OBSERVATION I agree with the scientists who believe that it is important studying the details of the DNA replication because that can help to understand how errors occur in order to prevent it ensuring proper replication of the genome.
- 16. If we can understand the process of DNA replication we can intervene in copying errors that occur during replication guaranteeing the patient a better quality of life. With the discovery of new proteins that influence replication errors we can find ways to prevent this so we can fight cancers
- 18. These studies are made to support medicine and health patient and thanks to research of DNA replication we can fight diseases that historically have finished the lives of many people.
