The Ability of Cyanobacterial Cells to Restore UV-B Radiation Induced Damage to Photosystem II is Influenced by Photolyase Dependent DNA Repair [PDF]
, 2013 Damage of DNA and Photosystem-II are among the most significant effects of UV-B irradiation in photosynthetic organisms. Both damaged DNA and Photosystem-II can be repaired, which represent important defense mechanisms against detrimental UV-B effects ...

Tyrosine dephosphorylation of H2AX modulates apoptosis and survival decisions. [PDF]
, 2009 Life and death fate decisions allow cells to avoid massive apoptotic death in response to genotoxic stress. Although the regulatory mechanisms and signalling pathways controlling DNA repair and apoptosis are well characterized, the precise molecular ...

Charge transport-mediated recruitment of DNA repair enzymes [PDF]
Journal of Chemical Physics, 129, 235101, (2008), 2008 Damaged or mismatched bases in DNA can be repaired by Base Excision Repair (BER) enzymes that replace the defective base. Although the detailed molecular structures of many BER enzymes are known, how they colocalize to lesions remains unclear. One hypothesis involves charge transport (CT) along DNA [Yavin, {\it et al.}, PNAS, {\bf 102}, 3546, (2005 ...

High-resolution mapping of heteroduplex DNA formed during UV-induced and spontaneous mitotic recombination events in yeast. [PDF]
, 2017 In yeast, DNA breaks are usually repaired by homologous recombination (HR). An early step for HR pathways is formation of a heteroduplex, in which a single-strand from the broken DNA molecule pairs with a strand derived from an intact DNA molecule.

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 ...

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 ...

DNA charge transport as a first step in coordinating the detection of lesions by repair proteins [PDF]
, 2012 Damaged bases in DNA are known to lead to errors in replication and transcription, compromising the integrity of the genome. We have proposed a model where repair proteins containing redox-active [4Fe-4S] clusters utilize DNA charge transport (CT) as a ...
