A nomenclature for restriction enzymes, DNA methyltransferases, homing endonucleases and their genes.

A nomenclature is described for restriction endonucleases, DNA methyltransferases, homing endonucleases and related genes and gene products. It provides explicit categories for the many different…

A novel method for efficient amplification of whole hepatitis B virus genomes permits rapid functional analysis and reveals deletion mutants in immunosuppressed patients

TLDR
It is suggested that HBV genomes with C gene deletions can have a selective advantage in immunosuppressed patients and the potential for the structural and functional characterization of heterogeneous populations of complete virion-encapsidated HBV DNAs is demonstrated.

Bats host major mammalian paramyxoviruses

TLDR
Major discoveries include evidence of an origin of Hendra- and Nipah virus in Africa, identification of a bat virus conspecific with the human mumps virus, detection of close relatives of respiratory syncytial virus, mouse pneumonia- and canine distemper virus in bats, as well as direct evidence of Sendai virus in rodents.

Biology of DNA restriction.

TLDR
The discovery of a new class of restriction systems that specifically cut DNA carrying the modification signature of foreign cells, and the mechanisms developed by phages to avoid the restriction systems of their hosts are described.

Hantavirus in African Wood Mouse, Guinea

TLDR
Sequence and phylogenetic analyses of the genetic material demonstrate a novel hantavirus species, which the authors propose to name "Sangassou virus".

Gene expression analysis of plant host–pathogen interactions by SuperSAGE

TLDR
By applying SuperSAGE to Magnaporthe grisea (blast)-infected rice leaves, gene expression profiles of both the rice host and blast fungus were simultaneously monitored by making use of the fully sequenced genomes of both organisms, revealing that the hydrophobin gene is the most actively transcribed M.grisea gene in blast- infected rice leaves.

Evidence for Novel Hepaciviruses in Rodents

TLDR
The so-far largest collection of small-mammal samples from around the world qualified to be screened for bloodborne viruses, including sera and organs from 4,770 rodents (41 species); and sera from 2,939 bats (51 species) supported classification of all viruses as hepaciviruses.

Type III restriction endonucleases translocate DNA in a reaction driven by recognition site‐specific ATP hydrolysis.

TLDR
EcoP15I DNA restriction patterns are shown to be predetermined by the enzyme‐to-site ratio, in that site‐saturating enzyme levels elicit cleavage exclusively between the closest pair of head‐to‐head oriented sites.
