Translesion DNA Polymerases

11.2K
Translesion (TLS) polymerases rescue stalled DNA polymerases at sites of damaged bases by replacing the replicative polymerase and installing a nucleotide across the damaged site. Doing so, TLS allows additional time for the cell to repair the damage before resuming regular DNA replication.
TLS polymerases are found in all three domains of life - archaea, bacteria, and eukaryotes. Of the different classes of TLS polymerases, members of the Y family are fitted with specialized structures that...

Restarting Stalled Replication Forks

6.4K
DNA replication is initiated at sites containing predefined DNA sequences known as origins of replication. DNA is unwound at these sites by the minichromosome maintenance (MCM) helicase and other factors such as Cdc45 and the associated GINS complex.The unwound single strands are protected by replication protein A (RPA) until DNA polymerase starts synthesizing DNA at the 5’ end of the strand in the same direction as the replication fork. To prevent the replication fork from falling apart,...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Lichen planus can affect the glans penis, presenting as a confusing rash. This condition, known as penile lichen planus, may mimic sexually transmitted infections.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Urology

Background:

  • Lichen planus is an inflammatory condition affecting skin and mucous membranes.
  • Its etiology remains largely unknown.
  • Penile involvement can present unique diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • Two middle-aged men presented with annular lichen planus exclusively on the glans penis.
  • The clinical presentation mimicked infectious or venereal diseases.
  • This highlights the potential for misdiagnosis.

Findings:

  • Annular lichen planus of the glans penis is a distinct clinical presentation.
  • It can be mistaken for other penile conditions.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness of penile lichen planus is needed among clinicians.
  • Differential diagnosis for penile rashes should include lichen planus.
  • This can prevent unnecessary investigations and treatments for infections.
