A Mutation in DNA Polymerase Α Rescues WEE1KO Sensitivity to HU

Consequentially, wee1 mutant plants fail to respond properly to problems arising during DNA replication and are hypersensitive to replication stress. Here, we report the identification of the pola-2 mutant, mutated in the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase α, as a suppressor mutant of wee1. The mutated protein appears to be less stable, causing a loss of interaction with its subunits and resulting in a prolonged S-phase.

Reca Acts As a Switch to Regulate Polymerase Occupancy in a Moving Replication Fork
RecA acts as a switch to regulate polymerase occupancy in a moving replication fork Chiara Indiania,1, Meghna Patelb, Myron F. Goodmanb, and Mike E.

However, E. coli contains translesion mechanism that underlies the opposite effects of RecA on Pol III synthesis (TLS) Pols II, IV, and V that also function with the helicase, and the TLS Pol replisomes involves single-strand binding protein primase, and sliding clamp in the replisome. Surprisingly, we find (SSB). Although all of the polymerases function with SSB on the that RecA specifically activates replisomes that contain TLS Pols. In template strand, SSB inhibits TLS Pol function in the context of sharp contrast, RecA severely inhibits the Pol III replisome. Given a replisome, presumably acting in trans by binding lagging-strand the opposite effects of RecA on Pol III and TLS replisomes, we pro- ssDNA. RecA relieves the SSB induced repression of TLS Pol pose that RecA acts as a switch to regulate the occupancy of poly- replisomes and stimulates their action, while inhibiting the Pol III merases within a moving replisome. -

Although many correlations have been described, specific mechanistic links between these changes and glucose homeostasis remain to be defined. Here we show that blood and intestinal levels of the microbiota-produced N-formyl peptide, formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLF), are elevated in high fat diet (HFD)- induced obese mice. Genetic or pharmacological inhibition of the N-formyl peptide receptor Fpr1 leads to increased insulin levels and improved glucose tolerance, dependent upon glucagon- like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Obese Fpr1-knockout (Fpr1-KO) mice also display an altered microbiome, exemplifying the dynamic relationship between host metabolism and microbiota. -
