RanBP2-Mediated SUMOylation Promotes Human DNA Polymerase Lambda Nuclear Localization and DNA Repair [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Cellular DNA is under constant attack by a wide variety of agents, both endogenous and exogenous. To counteract DNA damage, human cells have a large collection of DNA repair factors. Among them, DNA polymerase lambda (Polλ) stands out for its versatility,

Compensatory metabolic networks in pancreatic cancers upon perturbation of glutamine metabolism

open access: yesNature 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 ...

DNA Repair Enzymes [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Biochemistry, 1982
The invention relates to methods of selection of agents and compositions for the treatment of proliferative diseases such as cancer. More specifically, the present invention relates to the methods of selecting compounds which modulate the activity of DNA repair enzymes HAB1 and HAB2 and their uses in the treatment of disorders, which would benefit from

Oncogenic KRAS supports pancreatic cancer through regulation of nucleotide synthesis

open access: yesNature 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 ...

Human Holliday junction resolvase GEN1 uses a chromodomain for efficient DNA recognition and cleavage

open access: yeseLife, 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.

Ribonucleolytic resection is required for repair of strand displaced nonhomologous end-joining intermediates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) pathways repair DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in eukaryotes and many prokaryotes, although it is not reported to operate in the third domain of life, archaea. Here, we describe a complete NHEJ complex, consisting of DNA

DNA Mismatch Repair [PDF]

open access: yesEcoSal Plus, 2012
DNA mismatch repair (MMR) corrects replication errors in newly synthesized DNA. It also has an antirecombination action on heteroduplexes that contain similar but not identical sequences. This review focuses on the genetics and development of MMR and not on the latest biochemical mechanisms.

TDP2 promotes repair of topoisomerase I-mediated DNA damage in the absence of TDP1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The abortive activity of topoisomerases can result in clastogenic and/or lethal DNA damage in which the topoisomerase is covalently linked to the 3'- or 5'-terminus of a DNA strand break. This type of DNA damage is implicated in chromosome translocations

Putative Role of the Futile Repair Initiated by Human Thymine-DNA Glycosylase in Formation of Programmed Strand Breaks in Neuronal Enhancers [PDF]

open access: yesBIO Web of Conferences
Enhancers 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
