Abstract
Myelination is essential for neuronal function and health. In peripheral nerves, >100 causative mutations have been identified that cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a disorder that can affect myelin sheaths. Among these, a number of mutations are related to essential targets of the posttranslational modification neddylation, although how these lead to myelin defects is unclear. Here, we demonstrate that inhibiting neddylation leads to a notable absence of peripheral myelin and axonal loss both in developing and regenerating mouse nerves. Our data indicate that neddylation exerts a global influence on the complex transcriptional and posttranscriptional program by simultaneously regulating the expression and function of multiple essential myelination signals, including the master transcription factor EGR2 and the negative regulators c-Jun and Sox2, and inducing global secondary changes in downstream pathways, including the mTOR and YAP/TAZ signaling pathways. This places neddylation as a critical regulator of myelination and delineates the potential pathogenic mechanisms involved in CMT mutations related to neddylation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The eukaryotic translation initiation protein eIF5A is a highly conserved and essential factor that plays a critical role in different physiological and pathological processes including stress response and cancer. Different proteomic studies suggest that eIF5A may be a small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) substrate, but whether eIF5A is indeed SUMOylated and how relevant is this modification for eIF5A activities are still unknown. METHODS SUMOylation was evaluated using in vitro SUMOylation assays, Histidine-tagged proteins purification from His6-SUMO2 transfected cells, and isolation of endogenously SUMOylated proteins using SUMO-binding entities (SUBES). Mutants were engineered by site-directed mutagenesis. Protein stability was measured by a cycloheximide chase assay. Protein localization was determined using immunofluorescence and cellular fractionation assays. The ability of eIF5A1 constructs to complement the growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains harboring thermosensitive mutants of a yeast EIF5A homolog gene (HYP2) was analyzed. The polysome profile and the formation of stress granules in cells expressing Pab1-GFP (a stress granule marker) by immunofluorescence were determined in yeast cells subjected to heat shock. Cell growth and migration of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma PANC-1 cells overexpressing different eIF5A1 constructs were evaluated using crystal violet staining and transwell inserts, respectively. Statistical analysis was performed with GraphPad Software, using unpaired Student's t-test, or one-way or two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). RESULTS We found that eIF5A is modified by SUMO2 in vitro, in transfected cells and under endogenous conditions, revealing its physiological relevance. We identified several SUMO sites in eIF5A and found that SUMOylation modulates both the stability and the localization of eIF5A in mammalian cells. Interestingly, the SUMOylation of eIF5A responds to specific stresses, indicating that it is a regulated process. SUMOylation of eIF5A is conserved in yeast, the eIF5A SUMOylation mutants are unable to completely suppress the defects of HYP2 mutants, and SUMOylation of eIF5A is important for both stress granules formation and disassembly of polysomes induced by heat-shock. Moreover, mutation of the SUMOylation sites in eIF5A abolishes its promigratory and proproliferative activities in PANC-1 cells. CONCLUSIONS SUMO2 conjugation to eIF5A is a stress-induced response implicated in the adaptation of yeast cells to heat-shock stress and required to promote the growth and migration of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cells.

Abstract
There has been an intense focus to uncover the molecular mechanisms by which fasting triggers the adaptive cellular responses in the major organs of the body. Here, we show that in mice, hepatic S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe)-the principal methyl donor-acts as a metabolic sensor of nutrition to fine-tune the catabolic-fasting response by modulating phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PEMT) activity, endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondria contacts, β-oxidation, and ATP production in the liver, together with FGF21-mediated lipolysis and thermogenesis in adipose tissues. Notably, we show that glucagon induces the expression of the hepatic SAMe-synthesizing enzyme methionine adenosyltransferase α1 (MAT1A), which translocates to mitochondria-associated membranes. This leads to the production of this metabolite at these sites, which acts as a brake to prevent excessive β-oxidation and mitochondrial ATP synthesis and thereby endoplasmic reticulum stress and liver injury. This work provides important insights into the previously undescribed function of SAMe as a new arm of the metabolic adaptation to fasting.

Abstract
Yen1 and GEN1 are members of the Rad2/XPG family of nucleases that were identified as the first canonical nuclear Holliday junction (HJ) resolvases in budding yeast and humans due to their ability to introduce two symmetric, coordinated incisions on opposite strands of the HJ, yielding nicked DNA products that could be readily ligated. While GEN1 has been extensively characterized in vitro, much less is known about the biochemistry of Yen1. Here, we have performed the first in-depth characterization of purified Yen1. We confirmed that Yen1 resembles GEN1 in many aspects, including range of substrates targeted, position of most incisions they produce or the increase in the first incision rate by assembly of a dimer on a HJ, despite minor differences. However, we demonstrate that Yen1 is endowed with additional nuclease activities, like a nick-specific 5′-3′ exonuclease or HJ arm-chopping that could apparently blur its classification as a canonical HJ resolvase. Despite this, we show that Yen1 fulfils the requirements of a canonical HJ resolvase and hypothesize that its wider array of nuclease activities might contribute to its function in the removal of persistent recombination or replication intermediates.

Abstract
The S phase checkpoint is crucial to maintain genome stability under conditions that threaten DNA replication. One of its critical functions is to prevent Exo1-dependent fork degradation, and Exo1 is phosphorylated in response to different genotoxic agents. Exo1 seemed to be regulated by several post-translational modifications in the presence of replicative stress, but the specific contribution of checkpoint-dependent phosphorylation to Exo1 control and fork stability is not clear. We show here that Exo1 phosphorylation is Dun1-independent and Rad53-dependent in response to DNA damage or dNTP depletion, and in both situations Exo1 is similarly phosphorylated at multiple sites. To investigate the correlation between Exo1 phosphorylation and fork stability, we have generated phospho-mimic exo1 alleles that rescue fork collapse in rad53 mutants as efficiently as exo1-nuclease dead mutants or the absence of Exo1, arguing that Rad53-dependent phosphorylation is the mayor requirement to preserve fork stability. We have also shown that this rescue is Bmh1–2 independent, arguing that the 14-3-3 proteins are dispensable for fork stabilization, at least when Exo1 is downregulated. Importantly, our results indicated that phosphorylation specifically inhibits the 5' to 3'exo-nuclease activity, suggesting that this activity of Exo1 and not the flap-endonuclease, is the enzymatic activity responsible of the collapse of stalled replication forks in checkpoint mutants.

Abstract
RNA editing of adenosine to inosine (A to I) is catalyzed by ADAR1 and dramatically alters the cellular transcriptome, although its functional roles in somatic cell reprogramming are largely unexplored. Here, we show that loss of ADAR1-mediated A-to-I editing disrupts mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (MET) during induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) reprogramming and impedes acquisition of induced pluripotency. Using chemical and genetic approaches, we show that absence of ADAR1-dependent RNA editing induces aberrant innate immune responses through the double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) sensor MDA5, unleashing endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and hindering epithelial fate acquisition. We found that A-to-I editing impedes MDA5 sensing and sequestration of dsRNAs encoding membrane proteins, which promote ER homeostasis by activating the PERK-dependent unfolded protein response pathway to consequently facilitate MET. This study therefore establishes a critical role for ADAR1 and its A-to-I editing activity during cell fate transitions and delineates a key regulatory layer underlying MET to control efficient reprogramming.

Abstract
About half of all cancers have somatic integrations of retrotransposons. Here, to characterize their role in oncogenesis, we analyzed the patterns and mechanisms of somatic retrotransposition in 2,954 cancer genomes from 38 histological cancer subtypes within the framework of the Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes (PCAWG) project. We identified 19,166 somatically acquired retrotransposition events, which affected 35% of samples and spanned a range of event types. Long interspersed nuclear element (LINE-1; L1 hereafter) insertions emerged as the first most frequent type of somatic structural variation in esophageal adenocarcinoma, and the second most frequent in head-and-neck and colorectal cancers. Aberrant L1 integrations can delete megabase-scale regions of a chromosome, which sometimes leads to the removal of tumor-suppressor genes, and can induce complex translocations and large-scale duplications. Somatic retrotranspositions can also initiate breakage-fusion-bridge cycles, leading to high-level amplification of oncogenes. These observations illuminate a relevant role of L1 retrotransposition in remodeling the cancer genome, with potential implications for the development of human tumors.

Abstract
During meiosis, crossover recombination promotes the establishment of physical connections between homologous chromosomes, enabling their bipolar segregation. To ensure that persistent recombination intermediates are disengaged prior to the completion of meiosis, the Yen1(GEN1) resolvase is strictly activated at the onset of anaphase II. Whether controlled activation of Yen1 is important for meiotic crossing-over is unknown. Here, we show that CDK-mediated phosphorylation of Yen1 averts its pervasive recruitment to recombination intermediates during prophase I. Yen1 mutants that are refractory to phosphorylation resolve DNA joint molecules prematurely and form crossovers independently of MutLγ, the central crossover resolvase during meiosis. Despite bypassing the requirement for MutLγ in joint molecule processing and promoting crossover-specific resolution, unrestrained Yen1 impairs the spatial distribution of crossover events, genome-wide. Thus, active suppression of Yen1 function, and by inference also of Mus81-Mms4(EME1) and Slx1-Slx4(BTBD12) resolvases, avoids precocious resolution of recombination intermediates to enable meiotic crossover patterning.

Abstract
Ten-eleven translocation (TET) proteins play key roles in the regulation of DNA-methylation status by oxidizing 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to generate 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), which can both serve as a stable epigenetic mark and participate in active demethylation. Unlike the other members of the TET family, TET2 does not contain a DNA-binding domain, and it remains unclear how it is recruited to chromatin. Here we show that TET2 is recruited by the RNA-binding protein Paraspeckle component 1 (PSPC1) through transcriptionally active loci, including endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) whose long terminal repeats (LTRs) have been co-opted by mammalian genomes as stage- and tissue-specific transcriptional regulatory modules. We found that PSPC1 and TET2 contribute to ERVL and ERVL-associated gene regulation by both transcriptional repression via histone deacetylases and post-transcriptional destabilization of RNAs through 5hmC modification. Our findings provide evidence for a functional role of transcriptionally active ERVs as specific docking sites for RNA epigenetic modulation and gene regulation.

Abstract
DNA repair by homologous recombination is under stringent cell cycle control. This includes the last step of the reaction, disentanglement of DNA joint molecules (JMs). Previous work has established that JM resolving nucleases are activated specifically at the onset of mitosis. In case of budding yeast Mus81‐Mms4, this cell cycle stage‐specific activation is known to depend on phosphorylation by CDK and Cdc5 kinases. Here, we show that a third cell cycle kinase, Cdc7‐Dbf4 (DDK), targets Mus81‐Mms4 in conjunction with Cdc5—both kinases bind to as well as phosphorylate Mus81‐Mms4 in an interdependent manner. Moreover, DDK‐mediated phosphorylation of Mms4 is strictly required for Mus81 activation in mitosis, establishing DDK as a novel regulator of homologous recombination. The scaffold protein Rtt107, which binds the Mus81‐Mms4 complex, interacts with Cdc7 and thereby targets DDK and Cdc5 to the complex enabling full Mus81 activation. Therefore, Mus81 activation in mitosis involves at least three cell cycle kinases, CDK, Cdc5 and DDK. Furthermore, tethering of the kinases in a stable complex with Mus81 is critical for efficient JM resolution.

Abstract
DNA strand break repair by homologous recombination leads to the formation of intermediates in which sister chromatids are covalently linked. The efficient processing of these joint molecules, which often contain four-way structures known as Holliday junctions, is necessary for efficient chromosome segregation during mitotic division. Because persistent chromosome bridges pose a threat to genome stability, cells ensure the complete elimination of joint molecules through three independent pathways. These involve (1) BLM-Topoisomerase IIIα-RMI1-RMI2 (BTR complex), (2) SLX1-SLX4-MUS81-EME1 (SLX-MUS complex), and (3) GEN1. The BTR pathway promotes the dissolution of double Holliday junctions, which avoids the formation of crossover products, prevents sister chromatid exchanges, and limits the potential for loss of heterozygosity. In contrast to BTR, the other two pathways resolve Holliday junctions by nucleolytic cleavage to yield crossover and non-crossover products. To avoid competition with BTR, the resolution pathways are restrained until the late stages of the cell cycle. The temporal regulation of the dissolution/resolution pathways is therefore critical for crossover avoidance while also ensuring that all covalent links between chromosomes are resolved before chromosome segregation.

Repair of DNA lesions through homologous recombination promotes the establishment of stable chromosomal interactions. Multiple helicases, topoisomerases and structure-selective endonucleases (SSEs) act upon recombining joint molecules (JMs) to disengage chromosomal connections and safeguard chromosome segregation. Recent studies on two conserved SSEs – MUS81 and Yen1/GEN1– uncovered multiple layers of regulation that operate to carefully tailor JM-processing according to specific cellular needs. Temporal restriction of SSE function imposes a hierarchy in pathway usage that ensures efficient JM-processing while minimizing reciprocal exchanges between the recombining DNAs. Whereas a conserved strategy of fine-tuning SSE functions exists in different model systems, the precise molecular mechanisms to implement it appear to be significantly different. Here, we summarize the current knowledge on the cellular switches that are in place to control MUS81 and Yen1/GEN1 functions.

Abstract
The careful orchestration of cellular events such as DNA replication, repair, and segregation is essential for equal distribution of the duplicated genome into two daughter cells. To ensure that persistent recombination intermediates are resolved prior to cell division, the Yen1 Holliday junction resolvase is activated at anaphase. Here, we show that the master cell-cycle regulators, cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) and Cdc14 phosphatase, control the actions of Yen1. During S phase, Cdk-mediated phosphorylation of Yen1 promotes its nuclear exclusion and inhibits catalytic activity by reducing the efficiency of DNA binding. Later in the cell cycle, at anaphase, Cdc14 drives Yen1 dephosphorylation, leading to its nuclear relocalization and enzymatic activation. Using a constitutively activated form of Yen1, we show that uncontrolled Yen1 activity is detrimental to the cell: spatial and temporal restriction of Yen1 protects against genotoxic stress and, by avoiding competition with the noncrossover-promoting repair pathways, prevents loss of heterozygosity.

Abstract
Homologous recombination leads to the formation of DNA joint molecules (JMs) that must be resolved to allow chromosome segregation, but how resolution is temporally coupled with chromosome segregation is unknown. Here, we have analyzed the role of the cell-cycle kinases Cdk and Cdc5 in coordinating these events through their involvement in the phosphoregulation of the Mus81-Mms4 nuclease. By identifying CDC5 and MMS4 mutants that uncouple Mus81-Mms4 activation from cell-cycle progression, we show that JM disengagement, prior to anaphase initiation, safeguards chromosome segregation. By simultaneously stimulating the cleavage of cohesin and activating Mus81-Mms4 at the G2/M transition, Cdk and Cdc5 coordinate the sequential elimination of all chromosomal interactions in preparation for chromosome segregation. Conversely, untimely Cdc5 expression increases crossover frequency due to premature activation of Mus81-Mms4. Therefore, temporal restriction of JM resolution, imposed by Cdk/Cdc5, minimizes the potential for loss of heterozygosity while preventing chromosome missegregation and aneuploidy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify and classify disposable hospital products containing polyvinyl chloride (PVC), including the search and evaluation of cost-effective sustainable alternative products free of PVC. METHODS A descriptive observational analysis was performed, after classifying the latest research in major databases, and disposable products that could contain PVC. These were divided into 5 groups: cannulas, catheters, tubes, bags, and equipment, purchased in the period 2008-2009, differentiating between the technical and economic assessment of the materials. RESULTS In the analysis of the composition of 492 articles selected, 234 (47.5%) contained PVC, and 19.4% were considered PVC-free alternatives, with only 11.3% of these being economically viable. CONCLUSIONS This study highlights the advantages of the classification of PVC products, by showing that safe and efficient alternatives exist for some product lines that are consistent with patient safety and quality in the work by doctors.

Abstract
Most spontaneous DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) arise during replication and are repaired by homologous recombination (HR) with the sister chromatid. Many proteins participate in HR, but it is often difficult to determine their in vivo functions due to the existence of alternative pathways. Here we take advantage of an in vivo assay to assess repair of a specific replication-born DSB by sister chromatid recombination (SCR). We analyzed the functional relevance of four structure-selective endonucleases (SSEs), Yen1, Mus81-Mms4, Slx1-Slx4, and Rad1, on SCR in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Physical and genetic analyses showed that ablation of any of these SSEs leads to a specific SCR decrease that is not observed in general HR. Our work suggests that Yen1, Mus81-Mms4, Slx4, and Rad1, but not Slx1, function independently in the cleavage of intercrossed DNA structures to reconstitute broken replication forks via HR with the sister chromatid. These unique effects, which have not been detected in other studies unless double mutant combinations were used, indicate the formation of distinct alternatives for the repair of replication-born DSBs that require specific SSEs.

Abstract
The efficient and timely resolution of DNA recombination intermediates is essential for bipolar chromosome segregation. Here, we show that the specialized chromosome segregation patterns of meiosis and mitosis, which require the coordination of recombination with cell-cycle progression, are achieved by regulating the timing of activation of two crossover-promoting endonucleases. In yeast meiosis, Mus81-Mms4 and Yen1 are controlled by phosphorylation events that lead to their sequential activation. Mus81-Mms4 is hyperactivated by Cdc5-mediated phosphorylation in meiosis I, generating the crossovers necessary for chromosome segregation. Yen1 is also tightly regulated and is activated in meiosis II to resolve persistent Holliday junctions. In yeast and human mitotic cells, a similar regulatory network restrains these nuclease activities until mitosis, biasing the outcome of recombination toward noncrossover products while also ensuring the elimination of any persistent joint molecules. Mitotic regulation thereby facilitates chromosome segregation while limiting the potential for loss of heterozygosity and sister-chromatid exchanges.

Abstract
Holliday junction (HJ) resolution is essential for chromosome segregation at meiosis and the repair of stalled/collapsed replication forks in mitotic cells. All organisms possess nucleases that promote HJ resolution by the introduction of symmetrically related nicks in two strands at, or close to, the junction point. GEN1, a member of the Rad2/XPG nuclease family, was isolated recently from human cells and shown to promote HJ resolution in vitro and in vivo. Here, we provide the first biochemical/structural characterization of GEN1, showing that, like the Escherichia coli HJ resolvase RuvC, it binds specifically to HJs and resolves them by a dual incision mechanism in which nicks are introduced in the pair of continuous (noncrossing) strands within the lifetime of the GEN1-HJ complex. In contrast to RuvC, but like other Rad2/XPG family members such as FEN1, GEN1 is a monomeric 5'-flap endonuclease. However, the unique feature of GEN1 that distinguishes it from other Rad2/XPG nucleases is its ability to dimerize on HJs. This functional adaptation provides the two symmetrically aligned active sites required for HJ resolution.

Abstract
In eukaryotic cells, multiple DNA repair mechanisms respond to a wide variety of DNA lesions. Homologous recombination-dependent repair provides a pathway for dealing with DNA double-strand breaks and replication fork demise. A key step in this process is the resolution of recombination intermediates such as Holliday junctions (HJs). Recently, nucleases from yeast (Yen1) and human cells (GEN1) were identified that can resolve HJ intermediates, in a manner analogous to the E. coli HJ resolvase RuvC. Here, we have analyzed the role of Yen1 in DNA repair in S. cerevisiae, and show that while yen1Delta mutants are repair-proficient, yen1Delta mus81Delta double mutants are exquisitely sensitive to a variety of DNA-damaging agents that disturb replication fork progression. This phenotype is dependent upon RAD52, indicating that toxic recombination intermediates accumulate in the absence of Yen1 and Mus81. After MMS treatment, yen1Delta mus81Delta double mutants arrest with a G2 DNA content and unsegregated chromosomes. These findings indicate that Yen1 can act upon recombination/repair intermediates that arise in MUS81-defective cells following replication fork damage.

Abstract
Minisatellites are tandem repeats of short DNA units widely distributed in genomes. However, the information on their dynamics in a phylogenetic context is very limited. Here we have studied the organization of the MsH43 locus in several species of primates and from these data we have reconstructed the evolutionary history of this complex minisatellite. Overall, with the exception of gibbon, MsH43 has an organization that is asymmetric, since the distribution of repeats is distinct between the 5' and 3' halves, and heterogeneous since there are many different repeats, some of them characteristic of each species. Inspection of the MsH43 arrays showed the existence of many duplications and deletions, suggesting the implication of slippage processes in the generation of polymorphism. Concerning the evolutionary history of this minisatellite, we propose that the birth of MsH43 may be situated before the divergence of Old World Monkeys since we found the existence of some MsH43 repeat motifs in prosimians and New World Monkeys. The analysis of MsH43 in apes revealed the existence of an evolutionary breakpoint in the pathway that originated African great apes and humans. Remarkably, human MsH43 is more homologous to orang-utan than to the corresponding sequence in gorilla and chimpanzee. This finding does not comply with the evolutionary paradigm that continuous alterations occur during the course of genome evolution. To adjust our results to the standard phylogeny of primates, we propose the existence of a wandering allele that was maintained almost unaltered during the period that extends between orang-utan and humans.

Abstract
In a previous work we used an in vitro system for the generation and analysis of double-strand breaks (DSBs) using nuclear extracts from rat testes as a source of DSB activity. Since the recombination process can be triggered by the formation of DSB, in the present study we developed a strategy to isolate and characterize recombinant molecules using the same in vitro system. Our results indicate that the mechanism for the formation of recombinants was non-homologous end-joining driven by microhomologies. The procedure described here represents an alternative to investigate the mechanisms of DNA end-joining and other forms of DNA repair.

Abstract
Minisatellites are tandem repeat arrays of middle size (5-100 bp) repeat units widely distributed in eukaryotic genomes. They have been related to several important features of human genome biology, including gene regulation, chromosomal fragile sites, and imprinting. In this report, we have critically assessed and employed heteroduplex analysis (HA) for the identification of different human minisatellite MsH43 alleles. This minisatellite is organized as a repeat array of 5-6 bp units spanning 0.5 kbp. Our results demonstrate that this procedure is an easy, rapid, and reliable method to document allelic diversity for this locus. This work suggests that HA will also be a useful tool for studying the polymorphism of other minisatellites with small repeat units.

Abstract
We have reported the existence in rat nuclear extracts of a specific cleavage activity on a DNA fragment containing the human minisatellite MsH42 region (minisatellite plus its flanking sequences). Here, we have developed a system to analyse the nature of the cleavage products from the MsH42 region generated by the nuclear extracts. Our results demonstrated the formation of DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) in the MsH42 region by two different enzymatic activities, and that their distribution along this fragment changes depending on the presence of Mg2+. In the assays with Mg2+, the DSB were located in the minisatellite and its 3'-flanking region, showing preference for G-rich stretches. Oligonucleotide mutagenesis analysis confirmed that this enzymatic activity has a strong preference for G-tracts and that the recognition site is polarized towards the 3' end. Moreover, this activity cuts GC palindromes efficiently. In contrast, in the experiments without Mg2+, most DSB were mapped within the minisatellite flanking sequences. The analysis with oligonucleotides showed that G-tracts are recognized by this endonuclease activity, but with differences in the cleavage behaviour with respect to the reactions observed with Mg2+. The existence of two separate activities (Mg2+-dependent and Mg2+-independent) for the production of DSB was confirmed by analysing the effect of EGTA, N-ethyl maleimide, ionic strength, and by preincubations of the nuclear extracts at different temperatures. The tissue distribution of both DSB-producing activities was also different. The in vitro system used in the present work may be a useful tool for studying the formation of DSB and for investigation of the mechanisms of DNA repair.

Abstract
PCR preferential amplification consists of the inefficient amplification of one allele in a heterozygous sample. Here, we report the isolation of a GC-rich human minisatellite, MsH43, that undergoes allelic preferential amplification during PCR. This effect requires the existence of a (TGGGGC)(4) motif that is able to form a G-quadruplex in the presence of K(+). This structure interferes with the DNA synthesis of the alleles harbouring this motif during PCR The present results are the first demonstration that the formation of G-quadruplex can be one of the mechanisms involved in some kinds of preferential amplification.

Abstract
Much work has been focused on the pathways that restore the integrity of the genome after different kinds of lesions, especially double-strand breaks. A classical method to investigate double-strand break repair is the incubation of a DNA substrate with cell-free extracts. In these end-joining assays, the DNA is efficiently ligated by the proteins present in the extract, generating circular molecules and/or multimers. In contrast, using a similar in vitro system, we detected DNA cleavage rather than end ligation. When comparing our results with previous works, a paradox emerges: lower amounts of DNA become multimerized instead of degraded and higher amounts of DNA are degraded rather than multimerized. Here, we have demonstrated that when the DNA/protein ratio is low enough, the DNA-binding proteins of the nuclear extract protect the DNA substrate, avoiding DNA degradation and vice versa. Therefore, the variation of the DNA/protein ratio is enough to switch the outcome of the experiment from a DNA cleavage assay to a typical end-joining assay.

Abstract
One of the most exciting challenges in human biology is the understanding of how our genome was constructed during evolution. Here we explore the evolutionary history of the low polymorphic human minisatellite MsH42 and its flanking sequences. We show that the evolutionary birth of MsH42 took place within an intron, early in primate lineage evolution, more than 40 MYA. Then, single base-pair changes and duplications/deletions of repeat blocks by mispairing were probably the main forces governing the generation of this minisatellite and its polymorphism throughout primate evolution. Moreover, we detected several phylogenetic footprints at both sides of MsH42. We believe that our findings will contribute to the understanding of low-variability minisatellite evolution.

Abstract
We have previously described a GC-rich human minisatellite, termed MsH42, which exists in two allelic forms, long and short. Here, we have identified a third allele of medium length and localized the MsH42 locus in the chromosome 15q25.1 inside an intron belonging to a gene of unknown function. The recombinogenic potential of the three alleles was assayed in vitro incubating pBR322-based constructs containing two copies of the minisatellite MsH42 with its flanking sequences, in the presence of rat testes nuclear extracts. This assay system was configured to monitor only reciprocal exchange type events and not gene conversion. All MsH42 allelic sequences enhanced intramolecular homologous recombination promoting high rates (approximately 76%) of equal crossover, the long allele showing the highest recombinogenic activity. Removal of the MsH42 long allele flanking sequences, which are identical in the three alleles, provoked a decrease in the enhancement of recombination and in the frequency of equal crossovers, suggesting that these sequences are important for the recombinogenic activity and for the correct pairing between homologous sequences. The occurrence of some complex recombination events within the minisatellite MsH42 suggests the existence of processes related to polymerase slippage and unwinding with reinvasion during the repair synthesis. Our findings point toward the existence of two distinct biochemical pathways for initiation and resolution of recombination at the minisatellite MsH42. Finally, the in vitro recombination system employed in this study could provide an approach to dissect processes of repetitive DNA instability and recombination.

Abstract
A novel gene encoding a 6'-N-aminoglycoside acetyltransferase, aac(6')-In, has been cloned and sequenced from Citrobacter freundii 13996-19, a clinical isolate from Venezuela. This gene mediates resistance to amikacin, 2'-N-ethylnetilmicin, isepamicin, kanamycin, netilmicin, and tobramycin. The aac(6')-In gene is 573 nucleotides in length and encodes a putative protein of 190 amino acids. AAC(6')-In is most closely related to AAC(6')-Im and AAC(6')-Ie, demonstrating 64.4% and 62.3% similarity, respectively, at the protein level, suggesting these proteins share a common ancestor. The aac(6')-In flanking sequences demonstrated homology to integron- and transposon-related elements which are often found associated with resistance determinants. Hybridization studies performed with an intragenic probe specific for aac(6')-In indicate that this gene is prevalent within Venezuela but has not been observed outside of the country. Furthermore, the aac(6)-In gene was found in 10 different species of gram-negative bacteria.

Abstract
Resistance to most of the antimicrobial agents in use today is present in Latin America as of this publication. Their underlying mechanisms are in place and an even more serious situation is foreseen in the years to come. Both nosocomial and common community-acquired infections have changed to require more complex ways of management. Although newer antibiotics take the place of the older ones, wiser and more restrictive usage of the currently available antibiotics is needed. This may be obtained through education and with the amplification of national and supranational networks of surveillance, which could anticipate trends in resistance.

Abstract
Resistance to the endogenous antibiotic was studied in three actinomycetes that produce inhibitors of RNA polymerase. The three producers, Nocardia mediterranei (rifamycin producer), Streptomyces spectabilis (streptovaricin producer) and Streptomyces lydicus (streptolydigin producer), were each highly resistant to the antibiotic they produce (MIC greater than 200 micrograms ml-1) and in vivo RNA synthesis was also resistant. However, cross-resistance to the other RNA polymerase inhibitors was not found. Resistance to these antibiotics was due to target site modification, since the RNA polymerase enzymes of the three producing organisms were highly resistant in vitro to the corresponding antibiotic, and no antibiotic-inactivating enzymes were detected. A mutant was isolated from S. spectabilis which was sensitive to steptovaricin (its own product) and also showed an increased sensitivity to rifamycin and streptolydigin. This mutant had RNA polymerase which was extremely sensitive to the three antibiotics.

Abstract
A study on the evolution of resistance to six aminoglycosides in Serratia as well as the relationship with the annual consumption of each drug in a hospital over the period 1974-1981 was carried out. The incidence of modifying enzymes and their genetical location was determined in 38 isolates. It was found that: The variations in the percentage of Sm clinical isolates showed no relationship with the consumption of Sm. Two different types of enzymes are involved in this resistance: AAD(3''): adenylyltransferase and APH(3''): phosphotransferase. The resistance to Nm, Km and Gm seems to be directly related with the continuous consumption of these drugs. In all the strains under study (Nm-Km)r was due to an APH(3')(5)I: phosphotransferase, Gmr to two types of acetyltransferases: AAC(3)I, only found in strains isolated before 1977 and AAC(3)II which predominates in 1981. After introducing Tm (1975) and Ak (1979) in our environment, there was an increase in the number of resistant strains. Two acetyltransferases with Tm-affinity were found: AAC(3)II and AAC(6')IV, the latter showing affinity for AKr. It was determined that five of these enzymes are plasmid-mediated. The genetical location of a sixth enzyme (AAC(6')IV) has not been clarified.
