This Review summarizes recent advances in CRISPR–Cas regulation mechanisms by natural biomolecules that enhance or inhibit CRIPSR–Cas immunity, as well as their applications in CRISPR biology and technologies.
Ion channel structures reveal mechanisms of lipid action, including how channel gating is altered by direct binding of signaling lipids and those within the membrane itself, as well as mechanical and architectural effects of membrane lipids.
The asymmetric distribution of lipids, including cholesterol, in biological membranes established actively by flippases and scramblases has structural, biophysical and functional consequences in cells and implications for communication across membranes.
This Review summarizes the chemical and physical properties of methylated nucleobases in DNA and RNA, proposes a chemical classification of methylation types, and discusses recent advance in demethylation reactions mediated by dioxygenases.
Virulence factors from various bacterial pathogens catalyze post-translational modification of key host proteins, including phosphate β-elimination and phosphoribosyl-linked ubiquitination, to suppress host immune defenses and promote infection.
This Review provides insights into transcriptional regulation, and vulnerabilities of cancer cells to disruption of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)-mediated regulation of Pol II transcription, revealed with small-molecule CDK inhibitors.
