DNA glycosylases: in DNA repair and beyond [PDF]
Chromosoma, 2011 The base excision repair machinery protects DNA in cells from the damaging effects of oxidation, alkylation, and deamination; it is specialized to fix single-base damage in the form of small chemical modifications. Base modifications can be mutagenic and/or cytotoxic, depending on how they interfere with the template function of the DNA during ...

High cell-surface density of HER2 deforms cell membranes
Nature Communications, 2016 HER2 is frequently overexpressed in breast cancer in association with increased metastatic potential. Here, the authors show that HER2 overexpression causes deformation of cell membranes in a signalling-independent manner that contributes to the disease ...

AsCas12a ultra nuclease facilitates the rapid generation of therapeutic cell medicines
Nature Communications, 2021 The utility of AsCas12a can be limited to poor editing efficiency. Here the authors identify a variant, “AsCas12a Ultra”, that has high on-target specificity demonstrated through editing of clinically relevant T cell genes.

Tissue distribution and retention drives efficacy of rapidly clearing VHL-based PROTACs
Communications MedicineBackground Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are being developed for therapeutic use. However, they have poor pharmacokinetic profiles and their tissue distribution kinetics are not known. Methods A typical von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor (VHL)—

Nature Communications, 2019 Treatment with demethylation agents can reactivate transposable elements. Here in glioblastoma, the authors also show that this is accompanied by de novo presentation of TE-derived peptides on MHC class I molecules.

The RecQ DNA Helicases in DNA Repair [PDF]
Annual Review of Genetics, 2010 The RecQ helicases are conserved from bacteria to humans and play a critical role in genome stability. In humans, loss of RecQ gene function is associated with cancer predisposition and/or premature aging. Recent experiments have shown that the RecQ helicases function during distinct steps during DNA repair; DNA end resection, displacement-loop (D-loop)
