Article Abstract
The roles of Serine/Threonine protein kinases (STPKs) in bacterial physiology, including bacterial responses to nutritional stresses and under pathogenesis have been well documented. STPKs roles in bacterial cell cycle regulation and DNA damage response have not been much emphasized, possibly because the LexA/RecA type SOS response became the synonym to DNA damage response and cell cycle regulation in bacteria. This review summarizes current knowledge of STPKs genetics, domain organization, and their roles in DNA damage response and cell division regulation in bacteria.

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs), which are susceptible to DNA damage, depend on a robust and highly efficient DNA damage response (DDR) mechanism for their survival. However, the implications of physical force-mediated DNA damage on ESC fate remain unclear. We show that stiffness-dependent spreading of mouse ESCs (mESCs) induces DNA damage through nuclear compression, with DNA damage causing differentiation through Lamin A/C.

BRCA2 is crucial for mediating homology-directed DNA repair (HDR) through its binding to single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and the recombinases RAD51 and DMC1. Most BRCA2 orthologs have a canonical DNA-binding domain (DBD) with the exception of Drosophila melanogaster. It remains unclear whether such a noncanonical BRCA2 variant without DBD possesses a DNA-binding activity.

Purpose Of Review: Infertility affects approximately 15% of couples, with male factors implicated in more than 50% of cases. Concerns over declining semen quality - evidenced by a more than 50% drop in sperm concentration over four decades - have triggered investigation into modifiable lifestyle and environmental factors. This review summarizes recent evidence on exposures that negatively impact male fertility.
