Identification of the epsilon-subunit of Escherichia coli DNA polymerase III holoenzyme as the dnaQ gene product: a fidelity subunit for DNA replication.

Based on extensive genetic and biochemical studies, the multisubunit DNA polymerase III holoenzyme is considered responsible for the chain-elongation stage in replication of the genome of Escherichia coli and is thus expected to be the major determinant of fidelity as well. Previous experiments have shown that two mutations conferring a very high mutation rate on E. coli, mutD5 and dnaQ49, decrease severely the 3' leads to 5' exonucleolytic editing activity of the polymerase III holoenzyme. To identify more precisely the nature of these mutations, we have carried out genetic mapping and complementation experiments. From these studies and experiments by others, we conclude that the most potent general mutator mutations in E. coli occur in a single gene, dnaQ. To define further the role of the dnaQ gene, we have used two-dimensional gel electrophoresis to compare the labeled dnaQ gene product with purified polymerase III holoenzyme. The dnaQ product comigrates with the epsilon-subunit, a 25-kilodalton protein of the polymerase III "core" enzyme. We conclude that the epsilon-subunit of polymerase III holoenzyme has a special role in defining the accuracy of DNA replication, probably through control of the 3' leads to 5' exonuclease activity.

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthesis.

Aminoacyl-tRNAs are substrates for translation and are pivotal in determining how the genetic code is interpreted as amino acids. The function of aminoacyl-tRNA synthesis is to precisely match amino acids with tRNAs containing the corresponding anticodon. This is primarily achieved by the direct attachment of an amino acid to the corresponding tRNA by an aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, although intrinsic proofreading and extrinsic editing are also essential in several cases. Recent studies of aminoacyl-tRNA synthesis, mainly prompted by the advent of whole genome sequencing and the availability of a vast body of structural data, have led to an expanded and more detailed picture of how aminoacyl-tRNAs are synthesized. This article reviews current knowledge of the biochemical, structural, and evolutionary facets of aminoacyl-tRNA synthesis.

Unique mitochondrial genome structure in diplonemids, the sister group of kinetoplastids.

Kinetoplastid flagellates are characterized by uniquely massed mitochondrial DNAs (mtDNAs), the kinetoplasts. Kinetoplastids of the trypanosomatid group possess two types of mtDNA molecules: maxicircles bearing protein and mitoribosomal genes and minicircles specifying guide RNAs, which mediate uridine insertion/deletion RNA editing. These circles are interlocked with one another to form dense networks. Whether these peculiar mtDNA features are restricted to kinetoplastids or prevail throughout Euglenozoa (euglenids, diplonemids, and kinetoplastids) is unknown. Here, we describe the mitochondrial genome and the mitochondrial ultrastructure of Diplonema papillatum, a member of the diplonemid flagellates, the sister group of kinetoplastids. Fluorescence and electron microscopy show a single mitochondrion per cell with an ultrastructure atypical for Euglenozoa. In addition, DNA is evenly distributed throughout the organelle rather than compacted. Molecular and electron microscopy studies distinguish numerous 6- and 7-kbp-sized mitochondrial chromosomes of monomeric circular topology and relaxed conformation in vivo. Remarkably, the cox1 gene (and probably other mitochondrial genes) is fragmented, with separate gene pieces encoded on different chromosomes. Generation of the contiguous cox1 mRNA requires trans-splicing, the precise mechanism of which remains to be determined. Taken together, the mitochondrial gene/genome structure of Diplonema is not only different from that of kinetoplastids but unique among eukaryotes as a whole.

RNA splicing and cardiovascular disease: a guide for cardiologists.

Alternative splicing (AS) is a fundamental RNA processing mechanism, which generates different RNA transcripts and consequently different protein isoforms from a single gene. This increases the diversity of proteins within an organism and can fine-tune biological processes. This review examines how cardiac-enriched RNA-binding proteins establish heart-specific splicing programs governing aspects of cardiac development, function, and disease. Developmentally, coordinated sarcomeric isoform switches underpin the foetal-to-adult transition and further isoform rewiring in ion channel and kinase genes determine electrophysiology and excitation-contraction coupling. AS contributes to the pathogenesis of several cardiomyopathies and emerging datasets suggest that pathological hypertrophy engages distinct splicing signatures compared with physiological hypertrophy. This review summarizes diagnostic and prognostic opportunities arising from bulk, long-read, and single-cell/nucleus transcriptomics, which resolve cell type-specific isoforms and disease-associated switches. Circulating RNA biomarkers (including splice ratios and circularRNAs) may signify myocardial remodelling and arrhythmic risk. Integrative approaches that link AS with proteomics and genomics improve variant interpretation, reveal previously unannotated protein isoforms, and enable tracking of disease progression and therapy response. Finally, an outline of therapeutic strategies to modulate AS in cardiovascular disease (CVD), including antisense oligonucleotides, small molecules, and genome-editing modalities (CRISPR, base, and prime editing), is provided. The major challenges that remain before splice-targeting therapeutics can be targeted to treat cardiovascular disease are highlighted. Lessons from neuromuscular indications establish clinical feasibility of splicing correction and motivate translation to cardiology. Together, mechanistic insight, biomarker development, and therapeutic innovation position RNA splicing as a tractable axis for precision cardiovascular medicine.

The advancement of CRISPR-Cas genome editing, machine learning-assisted nanocarrier optimization, and biologically inspired delivery systems is being quickly pushed forward in this area. In this review, a comparative analysis of gene delivery systems is being provided, and the key challenges to clinical translation are being pointed out. In addition, expert opinions on future research directions are being offered, with a heavy focus on the development of multifunctional, precisely targeted, and easily scalable delivery systems that can be integrated with next-generation therapeutic technologies.

Obstacles in quantifying A-to-I RNA editing by Sanger sequencing.

Adenosine-to-Inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing is the most prevalent type of RNA editing, in which adenosine within a completely or largely double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is converted to inosine by deamination. RNA editing was shown to be involved in many neurological diseases and cancer; therefore, detection of A-to-I RNA editing and quantitation of editing levels are necessary for both basic and clinical biomedical research. While high-throughput sequencing (HTS) is widely used for global detection of editing events, Sanger sequencing is the method of choice for precise characterization of editing site clusters (hyper-editing) and for comparing levels of editing at a particular site under different environmental conditions, developmental stages, genetic backgrounds, or disease states. To detect A-to-I editing events and quantify them using Sanger sequencing, RNA samples are reverse transcribed, cDNA is amplified using gene-specific primers, and then sequenced. The chromatogram outputs are then compared to the genomic DNA sequence. As editing occurs in the context of dsRNA, the reverse transcription step is performed at a temperature as high as 65 °C, using thermostable reverse transcriptase to open double-stranded structures. However, this measure alone is insufficient for transcripts possessing long stems comprised of hundreds of nucleotide pairs. Consequently, the editing levels detected by Sanger sequencing are significantly lower than those obtained by HTS, and the amplification yield is low. We suggest that the reverse transcription is biased towards unedited transcripts, and the severity of the bias is dependent on the transcript's secondary structure. Here, we show how this bias can be significantly reduced to allow reliable detection of editing levels and sufficient product yield.

Prime assembly with linear DNA donors enables large genomic insertions.

Targeted insertion of large DNA fragments has promising applications for genome engineering and gene therapy1,2. Twin prime-editing guide RNAs have enabled relatively large insertions, but the efficiency remains low for insertions greater than 400 base pairs3-6. Here we describe a prime assembly (PA) approach for the insertion of large DNA donor fragments, of which the ends are designed to overlap with the flaps generated by twin prime editing (twinPE). We used PA to insert one or multiple overlapping DNA fragments, with total insertion sizes ranging from 0.1 kb to 11 kb. An inhibitor of non-homologous end joining enhanced both the efficiency and precision of insertions. PA relies on DNA templates that are easily produced, does not require co-delivery of exogenous DNA-dependent DNA polymerases and proceeds in non-cycling cells, suggesting independence from canonical homology-directed repair pathways. Our study demonstrates that PA can initiate Gibson-like assembly in cells to generate gene insertions without double-stranded DNA breaks, recombinases or homology-directed repair.

Epigenetics and childhood obesity: DNA methylation coordinates environment and gene regulation.

Childhood obesity is a complex disorder which results from the combined contribution of genetics, the environment, and development, which is programmed and coordinated by epigenetic mechanisms. Of them, DNA methylation has emerged as an important molecular interface between environmental inputs and changes in gene expression. In this review, we provide an overview of the role of DNA methylation in childhood obesity during the key developmental stages, from prenatal life and childhood to adolescence. We also highlight the available evidence from candidate genes and genome-wide association studies implicating critical loci involved in energy homeostasis and adipogenesis, where DNA methylation is altered. Further, we also provide an overview of how maternal obesity, nutritional status, and bariatric surgery shape offspring's methylation profiles and contribute to the increased risk of programming obesity across generations. Although aberrant methylation patterns are consistently associated with altered metabolic phenotypes, disentangling causality remains a significant challenge. Herein, we highlight emerging approaches, such as rigorous longitudinal cohorts, epigenetic Mendelian randomization, and CRISPR-based epigenome editing, that are beginning to provide the analytical clarity needed to move beyond association. Finally, we examine the potential of DNA methylation signatures to inform early risk stratification and prevention possibilities. Although yet to be clinically validated, whole-genome methylation profiling is increasingly integrated with systems biology and multi-omics frameworks, making the identification of robust, clinically actionable markers more promising. A more precise understanding of how epigenetic processes shape susceptibility to childhood obesity could ultimately support strategies capable of altering lifelong metabolic trajectories.

A quick guide to evaluating prime editing efficiency in mammalian cells.

According to the Clinvar database, modeling the diseases associated with pathogenic mutations requires the installation of base substitutions, small insertions or deletions. Prime editor (PE) was recently developed to precisely install any base substitutions and/or small insertions/deletions (indels) in mammalian cells and animals without requiring DSBs or donor DNA templates. PE also offers greater editing and targeting flexibility compared to other precision CRISPR editing methods because the versatile editing information is encoded in the reverse-transcription template of its prime editing guide RNA. However, optimal PE system selection and experimental design can be complex, and there are various factors that can affect PE efficiency. This chapter serves as a rapid entry-level guideline for the application of PE, providing an experimental framework for using PE at a specific genomic locus. RUNX1 was selected as a representative target site to illustrate the detailed methodology for constructing PE plasmids and the process of transfecting these plasmids into 293FT cells. We further examined the efficiency of PE-mediated genome editing in mammalian cells by using next-generation sequencing.

Transforming Plant Viruses into Vectors for Next-Generation Agriculture-A Review.

Plant viral vectors have evolved from tools for transient gene expression into a versatile platform for precise genetic intervention, offering a rapid, transgene-free alternative to conventional crop transformation. This review critically assesses their engineering for scalable field application, moving beyond foundational techniques like virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS). We highlight how advanced vector design, including deconstructed genomes and synthetic regulatory circuits enhances cargo capacity, specificity, and biosafety. The integration of viral delivery with CRISPR-Cas systems has unlocked virus-induced genome editing (VIGE), base editing, and prime editing, enabling heritable trait modification without tissue culture. However, the transition from proof-of-concept in model plants to robust field technology hinges on overcoming critical bottlenecks: expanding host range through chimeric vectors, ensuring environmental containment, and developing scalable delivery methods such as nano-formulations or adjusted agroinfiltration protocols. We evaluate these delivery routes and emerging synergies with nanobiotechnology for targeted and efficient applications. While challenges in regulation, public perception, and large-scale production persist, the strategic engineering of viral vectors for stability, specificity, and safety positions them as a transformative, next-generation biotechnological input for achieving sustainable crop improvement and protection under changing climatic conditions.

Chimeric templates and assays used to study physarum cotranscriptional insertional editing in vitro.

RNAs made in the mitochondrion of Physarum polycephalum are edited relative to their template by the precise addition of nonencoded nucleotides, while they are being synthesized. This insertional editing has been reproduced in vitro during run-on extension of RNAs initiated in vivo, within partially purified mitochondrial transcription elongation complexes (mtTECs), but it does not occur when the mitochondrial polymerase initiates transcription on exogenous cloned DNA. This chapter describes in vitro transcription systems in which mtTEC RNAs are elongated on repositioned parts of the genome or exogenous DNA, in order to investigate how the nontemplated insertions are directed. Restriction enzyme digestion and DNA ligation are used to generate the chimeric templates, and the RNA products are analyzed directly by nuclease dissection (S1 protection followed by RNase T1 digestion) or by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) followed by restriction enzyme analysis or cloning and sequencing.

Mechanistic Perspectives From Genomics and Pangenomics of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants: Linking Genome Architecture to Phytochemical Diversity.

Medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) produce a remarkable diversity of specialized metabolites with significant pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and industrial value. Although advances in long-read sequencing, chromosome-scale genome assembly, and pangenomics have greatly expanded genomic resources, the mechanistic links between genome architecture and phytochemical diversity remain incompletely understood. The present review synthesizes current evidence describing how structural genomic variation may contribute to phytochemical diversity, while acknowledging that many proposed genome-to-metabolite relationships require further experimental validation. Examples illustrate how genome architecture is associated with specialized-metabolite biosynthesis through multiple regulatory processes. However, the strength of supporting evidence varies considerably among MAP species. Moreover, relatively few genome-to-metabolite relationships have been confirmed through direct functional validation. We further discuss how pangenomics, multiomics integration, genome editing, synthetic biology, and artificial intelligence support the discovery, validation, and engineering of specialized metabolic pathways. Casual conclusions are evaluated according to the strength of available evidence, highlighting where causal relationships have been experimentally established and where conclusions remain primarily association-based. Overall, this review provides an integrated conceptual and evidence-based perspective summarizing proposed relationships between genome architecture and phytochemical diversity and outlines future priorities for functional genomics, precision breeding, metabolic engineering, and sustainable utilization of MAPs.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy: from gene to gene-ius therapies.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe X-linked neuromuscular disorder caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene that result in the absence of functional dystrophin, leading to progressive muscle degeneration, loss of ambulation, respiratory failure, cardiomyopathy, and premature mortality. Despite advances in multidisciplinary supportive care, DMD remains an incurable disease associated with substantial physical, psychosocial, and economic burdens. The monogenic nature of DMD and its well-defined molecular pathogenesis have made it a prime target for the development of precision therapies aimed at restoring dystrophin expression or modifying disease progression. This review provides an overview of the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying DMD, summarizes its clinical manifestations and natural history, and discusses current standards of care. It further examines recent advances in disease-modifying therapeutic strategies, including exon-skipping antisense oligonucleotides, nonsense mutation readthrough agents, adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated micro-dystrophin gene replacement, and emerging genome-editing technologies such as CRISPR/Cas9. The review also highlights the limitations of existing treatments, including mutation specificity, variable efficacy, immune-related challenges, and uncertainties regarding long-term durability and safety. Finally, it considers future directions in therapeutic development, emphasizing the need for combination approaches, improved delivery systems, and next-generation gene-editing platforms to achieve more effective and lasting clinical outcomes. Collectively, these advances represent a paradigm shift in DMD management and offer renewed hope for improving survival and quality of life for affected individuals.

Induced pluripotent stem cell reprogramming: methodological evolution and challenges in clinical translation.

Cell reprogramming can transform somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem cells providing a platform for patient-specific disease modeling, drug screening and regenerative medicine research. Since the advent of OKSM-mediated reprogramming, the system of technical approaches has evolved continuously - from integrated viral vectors to non-integrated episomal systems and, more recently, chemical reprogramming and CRISPR approaches. The simultaneous advances in single-cell multi-omics, biomaterials engineering, and artificial intelligence have further refined the controllability and precision of the reprogramming process. Despite these innovations, problems persist that hinder clinical translation: incomplete epigenetic resetting, ongoing clonal heterogeneity, genomic instability in long-term culture, and the lack of standardized Good Manufacturing Practice protocols for large-scale manufacturing. This review summarizes the trajectory of iPSC reprogramming technologies, with special emphasis on the translational applicability of each modality. We evaluated viral and nonviral delivery systems, chemical reprogramming, strategies that aid gene editing, and emerging engineering platforms, including microfluidics, smart biomaterials, and artificial-intelligence-driven process optimization. We further identify the core "translational triltrilas", namely, the inherent tradeoffs between security, homogeneity, and scalability, and propose a comprehensive strategy to overcome these bottlenecks. By linking basic mechanistic understandings with industrial and regulatory considerations, this review aims to provide a route for transitioning iPSC technology from a laboratory tool to a clinically viable manufacturing platform.

Rapid and reversible epigenome editing by endogenous chromatin regulators.

Understanding the causal link between epigenetic marks and gene regulation remains a central question in chromatin biology. To edit the epigenome we developed the FIRE-Cas9 system for rapid and reversible recruitment of endogenous chromatin regulators to specific genomic loci. We enhanced the dCas9-MS2 anchor for genome targeting with Fkbp/Frb dimerizing fusion proteins to allow chemical-induced proximity of a desired chromatin regulator. We find that mSWI/SNF (BAF) complex recruitment is sufficient to oppose Polycomb within minutes, leading to activation of bivalent gene transcription in mouse embryonic stem cells. Furthermore, Hp1/Suv39h1 heterochromatin complex recruitment to active promoters deposits H3K9me3 domains, resulting in gene silencing that can be reversed upon washout of the chemical dimerizer. This inducible recruitment strategy provides precise kinetic information to model epigenetic memory and plasticity. It is broadly applicable to mechanistic studies of chromatin in mammalian cells and is particularly suited to the analysis of endogenous multi-subunit chromatin regulator complexes.Understanding the link between epigenetic marks and gene regulation requires the development of new tools to directly manipulate chromatin. Here the authors demonstrate a Cas9-based system to recruit chromatin remodelers to loci of interest, allowing rapid, reversible manipulation of epigenetic states.

In vivo dissection of cis-acting determinants for plastid RNA editing.

Substitutional RNA editing changes single C nucleotides in higher plant chloroplast transcripts into U residues. To determine the cis-acting sequence elements involved in plastid RNA editing, we constructed a series of chloroplast transformation vectors harboring selected editing sites of the tobacco ndhB transcript in a chimeric context. The constructs were inserted into the tobacco plastid genome by biolistic transformation leading to the production of stable chimeric RNAs. Analysis of RNA editing revealed unexpected differences in the size of the essential cis elements or in their distance from the editing site. Flanking sequences of identical size direct virtually complete editing for one pair of editing sites, partial editing for a second and no editing at all for a third pair of sites. Serial 5' and 3' deletions allowed us to define the cis-acting elements more precisely and to identify a sequence element essential for editing site recognition. In addition, a single nucleotide substitution immediately upstream of an editing position was introduced. This mutation was found drastically and selectively to reduce the editing efficiency of the downstream editing site, demonstrating that position -1 is important for either site recognition or catalysis. Our results indicate that the editing of adjacent sites is likely to be mechanistically coupled. In no case did the presence in the plastome of the additional editing sites have any effect on the editing efficiency of the endogenous ndhB sites, indicating that the availability of site-specific trans-acting factors is not rate limiting.

Simulation of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing for the Vitellogenin gene in Apis mellifera.

CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing provides a powerful framework for interrogating gene function in Apis mellifera. Yet, empirical application remains challenging due to biological constraints, including haplodiploid genetics, narrow embryonic injection window, and the social rearing requirements that complicate functional validation. These constraints necessitate in silico pre-screening to maximize editing success before resource-intensive wet-lab implementation. Within the omnigenic framework, which distinguishes core regulatory genes from peripheral loci buffered by network effects, vitellogenin (Vg) represents an optimal target which is ancestrally dedicated to yolk provisioning; it has been co-opted to orchestrate diverse non-reproductive functions including longevity, stress resistance, immunity, and social behavior. We developed a computational pipeline to design a list of 57 and 56 candidate guide RNAs (gRNA) for targeted Vg knockout, evaluating candidate sites in both functional exons 2 and 3 based on structural accessibility and frameshift efficiency. Comparative analysis revealed complementary strengths in two top-best candidates from initial target pool of predicted gRNAs. The gRNA targeting exon 2 exhibits weaker secondary structure (ΔG = -0.25 kcal/mol versus -2.10 kcal/mol for exon 3), aligning with empirical evidence that sites with ΔG > -1.0 kcal/mol achieve 2-5 × higher Cas9 binding efficiency. This site yielded moderate frameshift frequency (77.8%; 61.9 percentile). Conversely, the predicted editing outcome for the gRNA targeting exon 3, despite stronger structural constraints, demonstrated superior functional disruption metrics demonstrating very high frameshift frequency (88.3%; 95.2 percentile), high in silico editing precision, minimal microhomology-mediated repair bias, and reproducible outcomes wherein nearly all predicted indels disrupt the coding sequence. Protein structure and domain analyses further predict that frameshift edits will generate a truncated protein missing all downstream functional domains. We recommend parallel empirical validation of both exon 2 and exon 3 targets to resolve the trade-off between structural accessibility (favoring higher editing rates) and frameshift efficacy (favoring complete loss-of-function). This dual-target strategy accommodates uncertainty in in vivo performance while maximizing the probability of generating informative phenotypes. Our in silico framework enables rational CRISPR design in non-model organisms by computationally balancing biophysical accessibility with functional impact, accelerating functional genomics in species where empirical optimization faces substantial biological constraints.

Gastric carcinoma classification in the WHO 6th edition (2026): Updated framework and emerging entities.

The sixth edition of the WHO Classification of Digestive System Tumours (2026) represents an important step in the continuing evolution of gastric carcinoma classification. While preserving morphology as the foundation of diagnosis, it incorporates advances in molecular pathology, genotype-phenotype correlations, tumour evolution, and predictive biomarker assessment. This review summarizes the development of the WHO classification from the third edition (2000) to the sixth edition (2026) and highlights its relationship with other major classification systems, including those of Laurén, Nakamura, and the Japanese Gastric Carcinoma Association (JGCA). Major histological categories remain largely unchanged; however, several important conceptual and diagnostic refinements have been introduced. These include recognition of crawling-type adenocarcinoma as a distinctive variant of tubular adenocarcinoma, subclassification of poorly cohesive carcinoma into signet-ring cell and non-signet-ring cell subtypes, introduction of the concept of pure signet-ring cell carcinoma, and increased emphasis on tumour evolution. The sixth edition also expands and refines the spectrum of uncommon gastric carcinoma subtypes, including gastric carcinoma with lymphoid stroma, AFP-producing carcinoma, micropapillary adenocarcinoma, gastric adenocarcinoma of fundic-gland type, and gastric sarcomatoid carcinoma. Crucially, molecular subgroups originally proposed by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and actionable biomarkers-including HER2 (ERBB2), Claudin 18.2, mismatch repair deficiency/microsatellite instability (dMMR/MSI), and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)-have transitioned from research-based categories into essential tools for precision oncology. Rather than providing exhaustive diagnostic criteria, this review offers a conceptual framework and encourages consultation of the original WHO text for full details. These advances illustrate the transition of gastric carcinoma classification from a predominantly morphology-based system toward an integrated histomolecular framework that more closely links pathological diagnosis with tumour biology, prognostication, and therapeutic stratification.
