In this paper, we consider the transformation of a breather type soliton in DNA into its demodulated version due to the strong impact of proteins associated with some sequences of DNA chain. These proteins are, for example, RNA polymerase responsible for the formation of m-RNA or initiation protein complex indispensable for chromosome replication.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Disruption of cellular metabolic processes and usurpation of host proteins are hallmarks of herpesvirus lytic infection. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) lytic replication is initiated by the immediate-early protein Zta. Zta is a multifunctional DNA binding protein that stimulates viral gene transcription, nucleates a replication complex at the viral origin of lytic replication, and inhibits cell cycle proliferation. To better understand these functions and identify cellular collaborators of Zta, we purified an epitope-tagged version of Zta in cells capable of supporting lytic replication. FL

An important relationship between transcription and initiation of DNA replication in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes has been suggested.

Relaxed circular DNA possessing a replication initiation zone located upstream of the human c-myc gene and a T7 promoter near the P1 promoter of the gene was replicated in the presence of T7 RNA polymerase.

Viral infection triggers a range of plant responses such as the activation of the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway.

Using live cell imaging, we show that DRB2, DRB3, and DRB5 relocate from their uniform cytoplasmic distribution to concentrated accumulation in nascent viral replication complexes (VRC) that develop following cell invasion by viral RNA.

The initiation of SV40 (simian virus 40) DNA replication requires the co-operative interactions between the viral Tag (large T-antigen), RPA (replication protein A) and Pol (DNA polymerase α-primase) on the template DNA. Binding interfaces mapped on these enzymes and expressed as peptides competed with the mutual interactions of the native proteins. Prevention of the genuine interactions was accomplished only prior to the primer synthesis step and blocked the assembly of a productive initiation complex. Once the complex was engaged in the synthesis of an RNA primer and its extension, the inter

Abstract:
During Bacillus subtilis replication two replicative polymerases function at the replisome to collectively carry out genome replication. In a reconstituted in vitro replication assay, PolC is the main polymerase while the lagging strand DnaE polymerase briefly extends RNA primers synthesized by the primase DnaG prior to handing-off DNA synthesis to PolC. Here, we show in vivo that (i) the polymerase activity of DnaE is essential for both the initiation and elongation stages of DNA replication, (ii) its error rate varies inversely with PolC concentration, and (iii) its misincorporations are cor

Abstract:
The 14-3-3 proteins are a family of ubiquitous and exclusively eukaryotic proteins with an astoundingly significant number of binding partners. Their binding alters the activity, stability, localization, and phosphorylation state of a target protein. The association of 14-3-3 proteins with the regulation of a wide range of general and specific signaling pathways suggests their crucial role in health and disease. Recent studies have linked 14-3-3 to several RNA and DNA viruses that may contribute to the pathogenesis and progression of infections. Therefore, comprehensive knowledge of host–virus

ABSTRACT The mitochondrial DNA of trypanosomes contains two types of circular DNAs, minicircles and maxicircles. Both minicircles and maxicircles replicate from specific replication origins by unidirectional theta-type intermediates. Initiation of the minicircle leading strand and also that of at least the first Okazaki fragment involve RNA priming. The Trypanosoma brucei genome encodes two mitochondrial DNA primases, PRI1 and PRI2, related to the primases of eukaryotic nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses. These primases are members of the archeoeukaryotic primase superfamily, and each of them

Plants are sessile organisms, and their DNA is particularly exposed to damaging agents. The integrity of plant mitochondrial and plastid genomes is necessary for cell survival. During evolution, plants have evolved mechanisms to replicate their mitochondrial genomes while minimizing the effects of DNA damaging agents.

Multiple single-amino-acid substitutions were introduced into the NC of Moloney murine leukemia virus to examine further its role in viral replication. Two residues were shown to play important roles in the early events of replication. Unlike viruses with previously characterized NC mutations, these viruses showed no impairment in the late events of replication. Viruses containing the substitutions

RPA stimulates RNA-templated DNA repair in vitro and associates in vivo with R-loops, the three-stranded structures consisting of an RNA-DNA hybrid and the displaced ssDNA strand.

ABSTRACT Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (also named human herpesvirus 8) is a γ-herpesvirus that undergoes both lytic and latent infection. During latent infection, two viral elements are required: latency-associated nuclear antigen (LANA), which functions as an origin binding protein, and the latent origin, which resides within the terminal repeats (TRs) of the viral genome. Previously, we identified two cis-elements within the TRs which are required for latent DNA replication: two LANA binding sites (LBS1 and LBS2 [LBS1/2]) and a GC-rich replication element (RE) upstream of LBS1/2.

Therefore, the strategy of packaging dimeric RNA affects viral replication and viral evolution.
