Cover Story: RNA editing by deamination of adenosine to inosine (A-to-I editing) is an evolutionarily conserved process involved in various cellular functions. In human, A-to-I editing is carried out by three major adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADARs): ADAR1-p150, ADAR1-p110, and ADAR2. RNA immunoprecipitation-sequencing revealed that each ADAR protein differentially binds to a distinct set of coding and long non-coding RNAs. View this paper

Elaborated Action of the Human Primosome

  • Andrey G. Baranovskiy and
  • Tahir H. Tahirov

8 February 2017

The human primosome is a 340-kilodalton complex of primase (DNA-dependent RNA polymerase) and DNA polymerase α, which initiates genome replication by synthesizing chimeric RNA-DNA primers for DNA polymerases δ and ϵ. Accumulated biochemical and struc...

Diversity of DNA Replication in the Archaea

  • Darya Ausiannikava and
  • Thorsten Allers

31 January 2017

DNA replication is arguably the most fundamental biological process. On account of their shared evolutionary ancestry, the replication machinery found in archaea is similar to that found in eukaryotes. DNA replication is initiated at origins and is h...

Solving the Telomere Replication Problem

  • Laetitia Maestroni,
  • Samah Matmati and
  • Stéphane Coulon

31 January 2017

Telomeres are complex nucleoprotein structures that protect the extremities of linear chromosomes. Telomere replication is a major challenge because many obstacles to the progression of the replication fork are concentrated at the ends of the chromos...
