Cohesin and condensin regulate chromosome topology and play an essential role in maintaining pluripotency in embryonic stem cells by Eui-Hwan Choi, Keun P. Kim

“…Cohesin maintains the cohesion of replicated sister chromatids until their separation at anaphase, whereas condensin facilitates the reorganization of chromosomes into a highly compact structure characteristic of mitosis. First, we found via ChIP-seq analysis that cohesins (SMC3, RAD21, and REC8) and condensin (SMC4) share DNA binding sites in close proximity and directly interact with the insulator protein CTCF. …”

Modelled impact of Tiny Targets on the distribution and abundance of riverine tsetse. by Glyn A Vale, John W Hargrove, Andrew Hope, Steve J Torr

“…Particular attention was given to demonstrating that the model could explain three matters of interest: (i) good control can be achieved despite the degradation of targets, (ii) local elimination of tsetse is impossible if invasion sources are not tackled, and (iii) with invasion and target degradation it is difficult to detect any effect of control on the age structure of the tsetse population.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Despite its simplifications, the model can assist planning and teaching, but allowance should be made for any complications due to seasonality and management challenges associated with greater scale.…”

Substrate-analogous inhibitors exert antimalarial action by targeting the Plasmodium lactate transporter PfFNT at nanomolar scale. by André Golldack, Björn Henke, Bärbel Bergmann, Marie Wiechert, Holger Erler, Alexandra Blancke Soares, Tobias Spielmann, Eric Beitz

“…Resistance selection of cultured P. falciparum parasites with sub-lethal concentrations of MMV007839 produced a single nucleotide exchange in the PfFNT gene; this, and functional characterization of the resulting PfFNT G107S validated PfFNT as a novel antimalarial target. From quantitative structure function relations we established the compound binding mode and the pharmacophore. …”
