Host 3' flap endonuclease Mus81 plays a critical role in trimming the terminal redundancy of hepatitis B virus relaxed circular DNA during covalently closed circular DNA formation. by Hu Zhang, Quanxin Long, Yuanjie Liu, Alexander L Marchetti, Cheng-Der Liu, Ning Sun, Haitao Guo

“…Hepatitis B virus (HBV) relaxed circular DNA (rcDNA) possesses an 8-9 nucleotide-long terminal redundancy (TR, or r) on the negative (-) strand DNA derived from the reverse transcription of viral pregenomic RNA (pgRNA). It remains unclear whether the TR forms a 5' or 3' flap structure on HBV rcDNA and which TR copy is removed during covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) formation. …”

How do lifestyle and environmental factors influence the sperm epigenome? Effects on sperm fertilising ability, embryo development, and offspring health by Ayazhan Akhatova, Celine Jones, Kevin Coward, Marc Yeste

“…Abstract Recent studies support the influence of paternal lifestyle and diet before conception on the health of the offspring via epigenetic inheritance through sperm DNA methylation, histone modification, and small non-coding RNA (sncRNA) expression and regulation. Smoking may induce DNA hypermethylation in genes related to anti-oxidation and insulin resistance. …”
