DNA demethylation by DNA repair [PDF]
Trends in Genetics, 2009 Active DNA demethylation underlies key facets of reproduction in flowering plants and mammals and serves a general genome housekeeping function in plants. A family of 5-methylcytosine DNA glycosylases catalyzes plant demethylation via the well-known DNA base-excision-repair process.

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 ...

Biomolecular Concepts, 2020 Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) is a way to concentrate biochemical reactions while excluding noninteracting components. Disordered domains of proteins, as well as interaction with RNA, favor condensation but are not mandatory for modulating this ...

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)

Personalized genome structure via single gamete sequencing
Genome Biology, 2021 Genetic maps have been fundamental to building our understanding of disease genetics and evolutionary processes. The gametes of an individual contain all of the information required to perform a de novo chromosome-scale assembly of an individual’s genome,

DNA REPAIR. Drugging DNA repair.
Science (New York, N.Y.), 2016 Inhibiting DNA repair can have a positive outcome on therapeutic interventions All the cells in our bodies suffer many thousands of DNA lesions every day ( 1 ). The vast majority of these lesions are safely dealt with by cellular DNA repair and associated DNA damage response (DDR) activities that are, as a consequence, vital for life.

Compensatory metabolic networks in pancreatic cancers upon perturbation of glutamine metabolism
Nature Communications, 2017 Glutaminase inhibition (GLSi) has promising activity against certain cancers. Here, the authors show that GLSi has no effect on multiple mouse models of pancreatic cancer and characterize the metabolic pathways activated in response to GLSi whose ...

Molecular Determinant of DIDS Analogs Targeting RAD51 Activity
Molecules, 2021 RAD51 is the central protein in DNA repair by homologous recombination (HR), involved in several steps of this process. It is shown that overexpression of the RAD51 protein is correlated with increased survival of cancer cells to cancer treatments.

Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 2021 Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) represents the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths. The heterogeneity of CRC identity limits the usage of cell lines to study this type of tumor because of the limited representation of multiple features of ...
