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 ...

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

Annual 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
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 ...

Only complete rejoining of DNA strand breaks after UVC allows K562 cell proliferation and DMSO induction of erythropoiesis [PDF]
, 2008 DNA strand breaks are early intermediates of the repair of UVC-induced DNA damage, however, since they severely impair cellular activities, their presence should be limited in time.

Drosophila RecQ4 Is Directly Involved in Both DNA Replication and the Response to UV Damage in S2 Cells. [PDF]
, 2012 The RecQ4 protein shows homology to both the S.cerevisiae DNA replication protein Sld2 and the DNA repair related RecQ helicases. Experimental data also suggest replication and repair functions for RecQ4, but the precise details of its involvement remain

EcoSal 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.

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
