We present here the results of a systematic bioinformatics analysis of control (C) proteins, a class of DNA-binding regulators that control time-delayed transcription of their own genes as well as restriction endonuclease genes in many type II restriction-modification systems. More than 290 C protein homologs were identified and DNA-binding sites for 70 of new and previously known C proteins were predicted by a combination of phylogenetic footprinting and motif searches in DNA upstream of C protein genes. Additional analysis revealed that a large proportion of C protein genes are translated from leaderless RNA, which may contribute to time-delayed nature of genetic switches operated by these proteins. Analysis of genetic contexts of newly identified C protein genes revealed that they are not exclusively associated with restriction-modification genes; numerous instances of associations with genes originating from mobile genetic elements were observed. These instances might be vestiges of ancient horizontal transfers and indicate that during evolution ancestral restriction-modification system genes were the sites of mobile elements insertions.

Recapitulation of the embryonic transcriptional program in holometabolous insect pupae

Alexandra M. Ozerova, Mikhail S. Gelfand

Summary: Holometabolous insects show significant changes in gene expression during metamorphosis, resembling the embryonic stage rather than the larval stage. The transition from pupa to imago shows similar gene expression patterns as the transition from embryo to larva. Genes associated with metabolism and development undergo changes in expression levels during the larval stage and revert to an embryonic-like state during metamorphosis.

Summary: The mechanisms of APOBEC mutagenesis in human cancers remain poorly understood, with evidence suggesting the importance of replication and the underexplored role of transcription. Gene expression and whole genome sequencing data from five types of human cancers with significant APOBEC activity were analyzed to estimate the involvement of transcription, compare its impact with that of replication, and explore the relative effects on APOBEC mutagenesis. Active APOBEC mutagenesis was found to correlate with gene expression, with an increase in APOBEC-induced mutations in early-replicating regions, and a higher APOBEC mutation density positively correlated with gene expression levels.
