USP3 controls BRCA1 “foci” [PDF]

open access: yesCell Cycle, 2013
BRCA1, which is mutated in the familial forms of breast and ovarian cancer, plays important roles in genome stability through its participation in DNA damage response (DDR) following double-stranded breaks (DSBs). BRCA1 activates the checkpoint pathway to retard cell cycle progression and stimulates repair of the DSBs (reviewed in ref. 1).

Role of the Nrf2/ARE Pathway in the mtDNA Reparation

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioscience-Landmark
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is located in the mitochondrial matrix, in close proximity to major sources of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the cell. This makes mtDNA one of the most susceptible components to damage in the cell.
