Abstract
Processing of DNA replication and repair intermediates is a critical aspect of genome stability maintenance. The coordinated action of RecQ-like helicases with structure-specific nucleases such as Flap Endonuclease 1 plays an important role in the processing of certain DNA structures associated with the replication fork, DNA repair, or telomeres. We will summarize our current understanding of how and in what context these interactions take place, with a particular emphasis on the mechanisms of RecQ helicases in processing of key DNA replication and repair intermediates by their protein interactions with FEN-1 and related structure-specific nucleases.

Advancing the Understanding of Regulatory Mechanisms and Diseases Through Biochemistry and Structural Biology
Modern research is increasingly interested in understanding the regulatory mechanisms and diseases through various integrative approaches. Biochemistry and structural biology offer valuable atomic-level insights that help unravel the complexities of cellular regulatory mechanisms and their association with health and disease. The unique advantage of these fields is that they provide ...read more
Therapeutic Proteins and Peptides of Plant Origin
Plants are still the major repository of biologically active substances. In the last two decades, however, natural peptides and proteins of plant origin have gained increasing attention due to their pharmacological activities over a variety of human illnesses, including those mediated by infections and parasitosis and those involving different cellular ...read more
