Turning up the Green Light.

Abstract:

:Fluorescent proteins (FPs) have become indispensable tools in biological research for labeling cells and proteins and sensing their biochemical activity. By introducing 'folding mutations', Campbell et al. engineered a new GFP variant with dramatically enhanced cellular brightness and stability, facilitating advanced cellular bioimaging applications in neuroscience and beyond.

  • Histone ADP-ribosylation in DNA repair, replication and transcription.

    abstract::Most published work on post-translational histone modifications focuses on small covalent alterations such as acetylation, methylation and phosphorylation. By contrast, fewer data are available on the modification of histones by ADP-ribose. Discussion of the biological significance of histone ADP-ribosylation has ofte...
