Helicase family proteins promote antiviral ADP-ribosylation of DNA purines

Trevor Griesman, Adini Q Arifah, Eric J Tomko, Yongjun Tan, Ning Tsao, Jackson T Trotter, Sharvika S Khochare, Nico A Carlson, Nima Mosammaparast, Dapeng Zhang, Eric A Galburt, Constantinos Patinios, Michele LeRoux

The paper identifies a new DarTG subfamily in E. coli that uses a helicase protein to promote ADP-ribosylation of DNA purines, expanding the known functions of helicases in bacterial immunity.

The roles of Conserved Domains in DEMETER-Mediated Active DNA Demethylation in planta

Changqing Zhang, Yu-Hung Hung, Xiang-Qian Zhang, Dapeng Zhang, Wenyan Xiao, Lakshminarayan M. Iyer, L. Aravind, Jin Hoe Huh, Tzung-Fu Hsieh

This study identifies the functional roles of conserved domains in DEMETER-mediated active DNA demethylation in Arabidopsis, showing that the C-terminal region is sufficient for rescue and the N-terminal region may have regulatory functions.
