Pif1 is a force-regulated helicase.

Li JH1, Lin WX1, Zhang B2, Nong DG1, Ju HP1, Ma JB1, Xu CH1, Ye FF1, Xi XG3, Li M1, Lu Y4, Dou SX5.
Nucleic acids research.Nucleic Acids Res.2016 Apr 20. pii: gkw295. [Epub ahead of print]
Pif1 is a prototypical member of the 5' to 3' DNA helicase family conserved from bacteria to human. It has a high binding affinity for DNA, but unwinds double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) with a low processivity. Efficient DNA unwinding has been observed only at high protein concentrations that favor dimeri

DNA damage and other forms of replication stress can cause replication forks to stall. Replication stress response proteins stabilize and resolve stalled forks by mechanisms that include fork remodeling to facilitate repair or bypass of damaged templates. Several enzymes including SMARCAL1, HLTF, an

PREMISE OF STUDY: Carnivorous pitcher plants employ a variety of putative adaptations for prey attraction and capture. One example is the peculiar forked "fishtail appendage", a foliar structure widely presumed to function as a prey attractant on adult leaves of Darlingtonia californica (Sarraceniac
