Published: November 2023

Monoubiquitination of histone H2B-K120/123 plays several roles in regulating transcription, DNA replication and the DNA damage response. The structure of a nucleosome in complex with the dimeric RING E3 ligase Bre1 reveals that one RING domain binds to the nucleosome acidic patch, where it can position the E2 ubiquitin conjugating enzyme Rad6, while the other RING domain contacts the DNA. Comparisons with H2A-specific E3 ligases suggest a general mechanism of tuning histone specificity via the non-E2-binding RING domain.

Background: Past studies examining sleep-cognition relationships mostly employed univariate approaches, which are subject to problems such as multicollinearity and multiple comparisons. Further, results from small sample univariate analyses are difficult to compare, precluding the identification of the aspects of sleep health associated with a particular cognitive domain(s). The current study used a multivariate approach to identify key sleep metrics and cognitive domains that contribute to the maximum sleep-cognition covariance in healthy older adults.

Background: Although pentatricopeptide repeat domain 1 (PTCD1) has been found to modulate mitochondrial metabolic and oxidative phosphorylation, its contribution in the growth of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remains unknown.

Methods: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset was utilized to examine the transcriptional alterations, patient characteristics, clinical outcomes, as well as pathway activation of PTCD1. The Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) was performed to investigate potential genes that associated with PTCD1.

A novel plant virus was identified in fig trees exhibiting ring spot symptoms through high-throughput sequencing (HTS). The complete genome sequence was successfully determined using PCR and RT-PCR techniques. The virus features a circular DNA genome of 7233 nucleotides (nt) in length, encompassing four open reading frames (ORFs).

In this paper, we demonstrate the performance of several density-based methods in predicting the inversion of S1 and T1 states of a few N-heterocyclic triangulene based fused ring molecules (popularly known as INVEST molecules) with an eye to identify a well performing but cost-effective preliminary screening method. Both conventional linear-response time-dependent density functional theory (LR-TDDFT) and ΔSCF methods (namely maximum overlap method, square-gradient minimization method, and restricted open-shell Kohn-Sham) are considered for excited state computations using exchange-correlation (XC) functionals from different rungs of Jacob's ladder. A well-justified systematism is observed in the performance of the functionals when compared against fully internally contracted multireference configuration interaction singles and doubles and/or equation of motion coupled-cluster singles and doubles (EOM-CCSD), with the most important feature being the capture of spin-polarization in the presence of correlation.
