The metabolic control of DNA replication: mechanism and function (2023)
Journal Article
Soultanas, P., & Janniere, L. (2023). The metabolic control of DNA replication: mechanism and function. Open Biology, 13(8), Article 230220. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsob.230220

Metabolism and DNA replication are the two most fundamental biological functions in life. The catabolic branch of metabolism breaks down nutrients to produce energy and precursors used by the anabolic branch of metabolism to synthesize macromolecules...

The DNA replication initiation protein DnaD recognises a specific strand of the Bacillus subtilis chromosome origin (2023)
Journal Article
Winterhalter, C., Pelliciari, S., Stevens, D., Fenyk, S., Marchand, E., Cronin, N., …Murray, H. (2023). The DNA replication initiation protein DnaD recognises a specific strand of the Bacillus subtilis chromosome origin. Nucleic Acids Research, 51(9), 4322-4340. https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkad277

Genome replication is a fundamental biological activity shared by all organisms. Chromosomal replication proceeds bidirectionally from origins, requiring the loading of two helicases, one for each replisome. However, the molecular mechanisms underpin...

The Replicative DnaE Polymerase of Bacillus subtilis Recruits the Glycolytic Pyruvate Kinase (PykA) When Bound to Primed DNA Templates (2023)
Journal Article
Holland, A., Pitoulias, M., Soultanas, P., & Janniere, L. (2023). The Replicative DnaE Polymerase of Bacillus subtilis Recruits the Glycolytic Pyruvate Kinase (PykA) When Bound to Primed DNA Templates. Life, 13(4), Article 965. https://doi.org/10.3390/life13040965

The glycolytic enzyme PykA has been reported to drive the metabolic control of replication through a mechanism involving PykA moonlighting functions on the essential DnaE polymerase, the DnaC helicase and regulatory determinants of PykA catalytic act...

Ferric Quinate (QPLEX) inhibits the interaction of Major Outer Membrane Protein (MOMP) with the Lewis b (Leb) antigen and Limits Campylobacter colonisation in broilers (2023)
Journal Article
Okoye, J. C., Holland, A., Pitoulias, M., Paschalis, V., Piddubnyi, A., Dufailu, O. A., …Soultanos, P. (2023). Ferric Quinate (QPLEX) inhibits the interaction of Major Outer Membrane Protein (MOMP) with the Lewis b (Leb) antigen and Limits Campylobacter colonisation in broilers. Frontiers in Microbiology, 14, Article 1146418. https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2023.1146418

Campylobacter jejuni colonizes hosts by interacting with Blood Group Antigens (BgAgs) on the surface of gastrointestinal epithelia. Genetic variations in BgAg expression affects host susceptibility to C. jejuni. Here, we show that the essential major...

Interaction of human HelQ with DNA polymerase delta halts DNA synthesis and stimulates DNA single-strand annealing (2023)
Journal Article
He, L., Lever, R., Cubbon, A., Tehseen, M., Jenkins, T., Nottingham, A. O., …Bolt, E. L. (2023). Interaction of human HelQ with DNA polymerase delta halts DNA synthesis and stimulates DNA single-strand annealing. Nucleic Acids Research, 51(4), 1740-1749. https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkad032

DNA strand breaks are repaired by DNA synthesis from an exposed DNA end paired with a homologous DNA template. DNA polymerase delta (Pol δ) catalyses DNA synthesis in multiple eukaryotic DNA break repair pathways but triggers genome instability unles...
