Paper of the month: October 2013

To initiate DNA replication, the DNA helicase has to bind the oriC region of the chromosome. This binding is assisted by the helicase loader protein. Moreover, the DNA helicase recruits the DNA primase to synthesize RNA primers. Now, Liu et al. determined the structure of the DnaC-DnaI-DnaG complex and present novel insights into insights the mechanism of bacterial primosome assembly.

News in SubtiWiki:

April 2013: SubtiWiki uses a new, faster Mediawiki platform! The times for page access are significantly reduced. Enjoy!
March 2013: updated Excel files that map all genes to categories and regulons as well as the general updated identity mapping of all genes were uploaded.
October 2012: the essential genes have been categorized
September 2012: 300 mutant strains available at the BGSC were added to the corresponding gene pages
August 2012: SubtiExpress, the new compagnon of SubtiWiki devoted to gene expression is online! Try it out!
April 2012: Links for expression data under 104 different conditions (based on Nicolas et al., 2012) have been added to the expression section of the individual gene pages
April 2011: SubtInteract, a presentation of protein-protein interactions in B. subtilis, is online!
December 2010: SubtiCellPublisher allows the conversion of CellDesigner diagrams to navigatable presentations in the style of SubtiPathways
December 2010: all genes are linked to regulons, and the pages of the regulons provide an overview on all genes that are members of this specific regulon.
December 2010: all genes/proteins are linked to categories, and the pages of the categories provide an overview on all genes/proteins that are members of this specific category.
