Multivalent interactions of the disordered regions of XLF and XRCC4 foster robust cellular NHEJ and drive the formation of ligation-boosting condensates in vitro

D.-D. Vu, A. Bonucci, M. Breniere, M. Cisneros-Aguirre, P. Pelupessy, Z. Wang, L. Carlier, G. Bouvignies, P. Cortes, A. K. Aggarwal, M. Blackledge, Z. Gueroui, V. Belle, J. M. STARK, M. M. Modesti, F. Ferrage

This study characterizes the multivalent interactions of XRCC4 and XLF CTRs, showing they form condensates that enhance DNA ligation in vitro and suggest roles in NHEJ dynamics and cancer biology.

Origin of the mobile di-hydro-pteroate synthase gene determining sulfonamide resistance in clinical isolates

M. Sanchez-Osuna, P. Cortes, J. Barbe, I. Erill

This study identifies the genetic origin of sul1-3 genes conferring sulfonamide resistance by tracing their mobilization from chromosomal folP genes in Rhodobiaceae and Leptospiraceae families.
