CLR ‐4, a novel conserved transcription factor for cellulase gene expression in ascomycete fungi
Clr4, a novel conserved cellulase regulator inNeurosproa crassa andMyceliophthora thermophila was identified and functionally chararacterized. Clr4 activates cellulase gene expression through direct regulation of the major ligonocellulase regulators clr1/clr2/xyr ‐1 as well as via cr‐1, which is a key component of cAMP pathway. The findings reported here may prove helpful for industrial strain engineering for cellulase production and thus reduce the cost of biofuel production. SummaryFungal degradation of lignocellulosic biomass requires various (hemi ‐)cellulases and is an important part of the natural carbon cycle....

Replication fork collapse at a protein ‐DNA roadblock leads to fork reversal, promoted by the RecQ helicase
This study shows that replication fork regression, the combination of replication fork reversal (RFR) leading to formation of a Holliday Junction (HJ) along with exonuclease digestion, is the preferred pathway for dealing with a collapsed fork inEscherichia coli. Direct endo ‐nuclease activity at the replication fork was not observed. The protein that had the greatest effect on these fork processing events was the RecQ helicase, while RecG and RuvABC, which have previously been implicated in this process, were found to play a lesser role. Eukaryotic RecQ homologues, B LM and WRN, have also been implicated in processing e...

Ms1 RNA increases the amount of RNA polymerase in Mycobacterium smegmatis
This study identifies the mechanisms responsible for its high accumulation. Further, we show that Ms1 increases expression of two RNAP subunits, β and β’. The increased level of RNAP helps mycobacterial cells rapidly start transcription of appropriate genes when surrounding conditions become favorable SummaryMs1 is a sRNA recently found in mycobacteria and several other actinobacterial species. Ms1 interacts with the RNA polymerase (RNAP) core devoid of sigma factors, which differs from 6S RNA that binds to RNAP holoenzymes containing the primary sigma factor. Here we show that Ms1 is the most abundant non ‐rRNA tran...
