Cdc13 exhibits dynamic DNA strand exchange in the presence of telomeric DNA

This study shows that Cdc13 can dynamically exchange DNA strands in the presence of telomeric DNA, revealing a mechanism for its movement at telomeres.

AKT1 mediates multiple phosphorylation events that functionally promote HSF1 activation

This study identifies AKT1-mediated phosphorylation events that enhance HSF1 activation, with specific residues critical for trimerization and gene transactivation.

Isolation of wild yeasts from Olympic National Park and Moniliella megachiliensis ONP131 physiological characterization for beer fermentation

Mixed culture metagenomics of the microbes making sour beer

This study identifies microbial communities in sour beers using metagenomics, revealing key bacterial and fungal species involved in fermentation.

Nuclear Pif1 is Post Translationally Modified and Regulated by Lysine Acetylation

This study identifies lysine acetylation as a post-translational modification regulating Pif1 helicase activity in S. cerevisiae, showing it enhances helicase and ATPase functions while affecting toxicity.

The Hrq1 helicase stimulates Pso2 translesion nuclease activity to promote DNA inter-strand crosslink repair

This study shows Hrq1 helicase enhances Pso2 nuclease activity to facilitate DNA inter-strand crosslink repair in yeast.

An organoleptic survey of meads made with lactic acid-producing yeasts

The paper evaluates the sensory impact of lactic acid-producing yeasts in semi-sweet meads through organoleptic surveys.

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae Hrq1 and Pif1 DNA helicases synergistically modulate telomerase activity in vitro

This study investigates the synergistic effects of Hrq1 and Pif1 helicases on telomerase activity in vitro, revealing their cooperative role in telomere length regulation.

ComM is a hexameric helicase that promotes branch migration during natural transformation in diverse Gram-negative species

This study identifies ComM as a hexameric helicase that facilitates branch migration during natural transformation in Gram-negative bacteria.

Primary souring: a novel bacteria-free method for sour beer production
