The nonhomologous end-joining pathway of DNA repair is required for genomic stability and the suppression of translocations [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2000
We have used spectral karyotyping to assess potential roles of three different components of the nonhomologous DNA end-joining pathway in the maintenance of genomic stability in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). MEFs homozygous for mutations that inactivate either DNA ligase IV (Lig4) or Ku70 display dramatic genomic instability, even in the absence ...

Chromosomal instability syndromes are sensitive to poly ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitors

open access: yesHaematologica, 2008
Poly ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitors have been shown to target cells with homologous recombination DNA repair defects. We report that poly ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitors induces apoptosis in cells deficient in other key DNA repair components ...

Impact of DNA ligase IV on nonhomologous end joining pathways during class switch recombination in human cells

open access: yes, 2005
Class switch recombination (CSR) is a region-specific, transcriptionally regulated, nonhomologous recombinational process that is initiated by activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID).

Recruitment kinetics of DNA repair proteins Mdc1 and Rad52 but not 53BP1 depend on damage complexity. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The recruitment kinetics of double-strand break (DSB) signaling and repair proteins Mdc1, 53BP1 and Rad52 into radiation-induced foci was studied by live-cell fluorescence microscopy after ion microirradiation.

A comparison of DNA repair pathways to achieve a site-specific gene modification of the Bruton's tyrosine kinase gene

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2022
Gene editing utilizing homology-directed repair has advanced significantly for many monogenic diseases of the hematopoietic system in recent years but has also been hindered by decreases between in vitro and in vivo gene integration rates.

Structure of the Helicase Domain of DNA Polymerase Theta Reveals a Possible Role in the Microhomology-Mediated End-Joining Pathway

open access: yes, 2015
DNA polymerase theta (Polθ) has been identified as a crucial alternative non-homologous end-joining factor in mammalian cells. Polθ is upregulated in a range of cancer cell types defective in homologous recombination, and knockdown has been shown to ...

CometChip enables parallel analysis of multiple DNA repair activities

open access: yes, 2021
DNA damage can be cytotoxic and mutagenic, and it is directly linked to aging, cancer, and other diseases. To counteract the deleterious effects of DNA damage, cells have evolved highly conserved DNA repair pathways.

Protocol: A Multiplexed Reporter Assay to Study Effects of Chromatin Context on DNA Double-Strand Break Repair

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2022
DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) can be repaired through various pathways. Understanding how these pathways are regulated is of great interest for cancer research and optimization of gene editing.

XLF/Cernunnos: An important but puzzling participant in the nonhomologous end joining DNA repair pathway [PDF]

open access: yesDNA Repair, 2017
DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) are one of the most deleterious DNA lesions that promote cell death, genomic instability and carcinogenesis. The two major cellular mechanisms that repair DSBs are Nonhomologous End-Joining (NHEJ) and Homologous Recombination Repair (HRR).

The ubiquitin‐proteasome system and autophagy as guardians of the cellular proteome

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This Perspective covers the three principles governing the crosstalk between the ubiquitin‐proteasome system and autophagy in cellular proteostasis: (1) a shared ubiquitin code routing substrates via shuttle factors or autophagy receptors; (2) spatial compartmentalization into phase‐separated degradation hubs and organelle‐specific modules (exemplified
