Article Abstract
Poly (ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation) plays a crucial role in DNA replication, particularly during S phase, where it is detected at replication sites on the lagging strand to facilitate Okazaki fragment processing. However, the role of dePARylation in DNA replication remains elusive. In this study, we demonstrate that poly (ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) is actively involved in degrading poly (ADP-ribose) at DNA replication sites during S phase. Inhibition of PARG in S-phase cells leads to the accumulation of DNA single-strand breaks at replication sites. Furthermore, suppression of dePARylation during S phase impairs DNA replication, which can be rescued by wild-type PARG but not by a catalytically inactive PARG mutant. Mechanistically, we show that PCNA, a key factor in DNA replication, is PARylated by PARP1 during S phase, which reduces its interaction with FEN1. Timely removal of PARylation from PCNA by PARG restores the interaction between PCNA and FEN1, thereby facilitating DNA replication. Taken together, our findings reveal that PARG promotes DNA replication through the dePARylation of PCNA during S phase, highlighting the critical role of PARG in DNA replication.

Unlabelled: Adenoviruses are double-stranded DNA viruses widely used as platforms for vaccines, oncolytics, and gene delivery. However, tools for studying adenoviral gene expression in real time during infection remain limited. Here, we describe a set of fluorescent and bioluminescent reporter viruses built using the modular AdenoBuilder reverse genetics system and informed by high-resolution maps of Ad5 transcription.

Unlabelled: Cholesterol 25-hydroxylase (CH25H), an interferon-stimulated gene (ISG), has been implicated in broad-spectrum antiviral immunity. Here, we identify CH25H as a potent suppressor of hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication that significantly outperforms IFN-α in reducing HBV DNA, pregenomic RNA (pgRNA), HBsAg, and HBeAg, without inducing cytotoxicity. However, CH25H is weakly expressed in hepatocytes and only modestly induced by type I interferon.

Increasing evidence indicates that the loss of soil microbial α-diversity triggered by environmental stress negatively impacts microbial functions; however, the effects of microbial α-diversity on community functions under environmental stress are poorly understood. Here, we investigated the changes in bacterial and fungal α- diversity along gradients of five natural stressors (temperature, precipitation, plant diversity, soil organic C and pH) across 45 grasslands in China and evaluated their connection with microbial functional traits. By quantifying the five environmental stresses into an integrated stress index, we found that the bacterial and fungal α-diversity declined under high environmental stress across three soil layers (0-20 cm, 20-40 cm and 40-60 cm).

The bacterial DNA damage (SOS) response promotes DNA repair, DNA damage tolerance, and survival in the setting of genotoxic stress, including stress induced by antibiotics. In , translesion DNA synthesis can be fulfilled by Y-family DNA polymerases, including DNA polymerase IV (DinB). DinB features a more open active site and lacks proofreading ability, promoting error-prone replication.

An increasing number of epigenome-wide association studies report tobacco smoking-associated DNA methylation levels. However, comprehensive replication studies remain scarce, particularly in placenta, despite their crucial interest in such a large-scale context. Using DNA methylation data from the EPIC array of 341 new placentas (85 smokers, 219 non-smokers, and 37 former smokers) from the EDEN cohort, we used a candidate approach to replicate maternal smoking-associated CpGs and regions previously identified using the 450K array, and an exploratory approach to discover new associations within EPIC-specific CpGs.
