Drosophila RecQ4 Is Directly Involved in Both DNA Replication and the Response to UV Damage in S2 Cells. [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

Disordered but rhythmic—the role of intrinsic protein disorder in eukaryotic circadian timing

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Unstructured domains known as intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are present in nearly every part of the eukaryotic core circadian oscillator. IDRs enable many diverse inter‐ and intramolecular interactions that support clock function. IDR conformations are highly tunable by post‐translational modifications and environmental conditions, which ...

PolySUMOylation of PCNA and Rad52 restricts centromeric recombination in fission yeast

open access: yesNature Communications
SUMOylation, a conserved post-translational modification in eukaryotes, regulates protein function, localization, and stability. However, the role of SUMO chains in genome maintenance is still emerging.

Risks from low dose/dose rate radiation: what an understanding of DNA damage response mechanisms can tell us [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The DNA damage response (DDR) mechanisms represent a vital line of defense against exogenous and endogenous DNA damage to enhance two distinct outcomes, survival and the maintenance of genomic stability. The latter is critical for cancer avoidance.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...

TDP43 interacts with MLH1 and MSH6 proteins in a DNA damage-inducible manner

open access: yesMolecular Brain
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease that affects the motor neuron. One aspect of the neuropathology involved in ALS includes increased genomic damage and impaired DNA repair capability. The TAR-DNA binding protein 43 (

Structural basis of TFIIH activation for nucleotide excision repair. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is the major DNA repair pathway that removes UV-induced and bulky DNA lesions. There is currently no structure of NER intermediates, which form around the large multisubunit transcription factor IIH (TFIIH).

The role of histone modifications in transcription regulation upon DNA damage

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review discusses the critical role of histone modifications in regulating gene expression during the DNA damage response (DDR). By modulating chromatin structure and recruiting repair factors, these post‐translational modifications fine‐tune transcriptional programmes to maintain genomic stability.

Endogenous TDP-43 mislocalization in a novel knock-in mouse model reveals DNA repair impairment, inflammation, and neuronal senescence

open access: yesActa Neuropathologica Communications
TDP-43 mislocalization and aggregation are key pathological features of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)- and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). However, existing transgenic hTDP-43 WT or ∆NLS-overexpression animal models primarily focus on late-stage TDP-
