Reactive species generated by chemicals and UV radiation can cause sequence-specific DNA damage and play important roles in mutagenesis, carcinogenesis and aging. We have investigated sequence specificity of oxidative stress-mediated DNA damage by using 32P-labeled DNA fragments obtained from the

Riboswitches are mRNA elements that specifically bind cellular metabolites and control gene expression by modifying their structure. As riboswitches often control essential genes in pathogenic bacteria, riboswitches have been proposed as new targets for antibiotics. High-throughput screening provides a powerful

The bypass of DNA lesions by the replication fork requires a switch between the replicative DNA polymerase (Pol) and a more specialized translesion synthesis (TLS) Pol to overcome the obstacle. DNA Pol δ-interacting protein 2 (PolDIP2) has been found to
