SKN-1 links C. elegans mesendodermal specification to a conserved oxidative stress response
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on transcription factor SKN-1 which initiates digestive system development. The authors suggest that the mesendodermal specification role of SKN-1 has been predated by its resistance to xenobiotic and oxidative stress.

Structure and function of the PWI motif: a novel nucleic acid-binding domain that facilitates pre-mRNA processing
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on PWI motif. Results demonstrate that this motif is a new type of DNA/RNA-binding domain with the equal preference for single- and double-stranded nucleic acids.
