Type II restriction of 2-aminoadenine (dZ) modified DNA and production of dZ-modified plasmid in E. coli

S. y. Xu, W. Yang, M. Kuska, N. Dai, L. Ettwiller

This paper tests 147 restriction enzymes on dZ-modified DNA, finds resistance in 53.1% of cases, and shows dZ incorporation in E. coli plasmids up to 44.3% with co-expression of specific genes.

DNAJB8 oligomerization is mediated by an aromatic-rich motif that is dispensable for substrate activity

B. D. Ryder, E. Ustyantseva, D. R. Boyer, A. Mendoza-Oliva, M. Kuska, P. M. Wydorski, P. Macierzynska, N. Morgan, M. R. Sawaya, M. I. Diamond, H. H. Kampinga, L. Joachimiak

This paper identifies an aromatic-rich motif in DNAJB8 that mediates oligomerization and shows that disrupting this motif affects oligomerization but not substrate activity.
