Annual Review of Genetics, 1995 DNA repair is an important molecular defense system against agents that cause cancer, degenerative diseases, and aging. Several repair systems in humans protect the genome by repairing modified bases, DNA adducts, cross links, and double strand breaks.

eLife, 2015 Holliday junctions (HJs) are key DNA intermediates in homologous recombination. They link homologous DNA strands and have to be faithfully removed for proper DNA segregation and genome integrity.

Oncogenic KRAS supports pancreatic cancer through regulation of nucleotide synthesis
Nature Communications, 2018 Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells display varying degrees of reliance on oncogenic KRAS. Here the authors show that KRAS-resistant PDAC cells maintain nucleotides synthesis through a KRAS-independent upregulation of the non-oxidative pentose ...

DNA Repair, 2020 Our genome is constantly subject to damage from exogenous and endogenous sources, and cells respond to such damage by initiating a DNA damage response (DDR). Failure to induce an adequate DDR can result in increased mutation load, chromosomal aberrations and a variety of human diseases, including cancer. A rapidly growing body of evidence suggests that

Putative Role of the Futile Repair Initiated by Human Thymine-DNA Glycosylase in Formation of Programmed Strand Breaks in Neuronal Enhancers [PDF]
BIO Web of ConferencesEnhancers are regulatory DNA elements that play a crucial role in controlling gene expression in specific cell types, including neurons. Enhancer activity is tightly regulated and involves the recruitment of various proteins and enzymes to facilitate the

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

eLife, 2014 Homologous recombination (HR)-mediated repair of DNA double-strand break (DSB)s is restricted to the post-replicative phases of the cell cycle. Initiation of HR in the G1 phase blocks non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) impairing DSB repair.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Targeting DNA Repair, Cell Cycle, and Tumor Microenvironment in B Cell Lymphoma
Cells, 2020 The DNA double-strand break (DSB) is the most cytotoxic lesion and compromises genome stability. In an attempt to efficiently repair DSBs, cells activate ATM kinase, which orchestrates the DNA damage response (DDR) by activating cell cycle checkpoints ...

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2021 The hotspot mutations of SF3B1, the most frequently mutated splicing gene in cancers, contribute to oncogenesis by corrupting the mRNA splicing. Further SF3B1 mutations have been reported in cancers but their consequences remain unclear.
