Cover Story: Mec1/ATR serves as a foreman inside a yeast cell, overseeing the DNA double-stranded break (DSB) repair process. The Mec1-mediated DNA damage response results in cells undergoing aerobic fermentation instead of respiration. Mec1/ATR promotes the THO/TREX complex to translocate to the cytoplasm in response to torsional stress. Mec1, together with the chromatin remodeling factors Ino80 and Paf1, also functions to remove RNA Pol II from the template to preserve replication fork integrity when replication and transcription are in conflict.

Grouper is one of the favorite sea food resources in Southeast Asia. However, the outbreaks of the viral nervous necrosis (VNN) disease due to nervous necrosis virus (NNV) infection have caused mass mortality of grouper larvae. Many aqua-farms have s...
