Compiling Multicopy Single-Stranded DNA Sequences from Bacterial Genome Sequences by Wonseok Yoo, Dongbin Lim, Sangsoo Kim

“…The resulting DNA is covalently linked to the upstream part of the RNA; this chimera is called multicopy single-stranded DNA (msDNA), which is extrachromosomal DNA found in many bacterial species. Based on the conserved features in the eight known msDNA sequences, we developed a detection method and applied it to scan National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) RefSeq bacterial genome sequences. …”

Association of p53 with Neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s Disease by Qiang Luo, Wei Sun, Yi-Fan Wang, Ji Li, Da-Wei Li

“…Recent studies have revealed that p53 levels and activity are substantially increased in affected neurons in cellular and animal models of Parkinson’s disease (PD) as well as in the brains of PD patients. p53 activation in response to neurodegenerative stress is closely associated with the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons accompanied by mitochondrial dysfunction, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, abnormal protein aggregation, and impairment of autophagy, and these pathogenic events have been implicated in the pathogenesis of PD. …”
