Targeting BRCA1-BER deficient breast cancer by ATM or DNA-PKcs blockade either alone or in combination with cisplatin for personalized therapy [PDF]
, 2014 BRCA1, a key factor in homologous recombination repair may also regulate base excision repair (BER). Targeting BRCA1-BER deficient cells by blockade of ATM and DNA-PKcs could be a promising strategy in breast cancer.

Time after time – circadian clocks through the lens of oscillator theory
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Oscillator theory bridges physics and circadian biology. Damped oscillators require external drivers, while limit cycles emerge from delayed feedback and nonlinearities. Coupling enables tissue‐level coherence, and entrainment aligns internal clocks with environmental cues.

PolySUMOylation of PCNA and Rad52 restricts centromeric recombination in fission yeast
Nature CommunicationsSUMOylation, 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.

Genetic Requirements for Intra-Chromosomal Deletions [PDF]
, 2020 Chromosomal deletions are one of the most dangerous types of DNA damage and often arise as a result of inappropriately repaired DNA double strand breaks (DSB).

Multiple ETS family transcription factors bind mutant p53 via distinct interaction regions
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Mutant p53 gain‐of‐function is thought to be mediated by interaction with other transcription factors. We identify multiple ETS transcription factors that can bind mutant p53 and found that this interaction can be promoted by a PXXPP motif. ETS proteins that strongly bound mutant p53 were upregulated in ovarian cancer compared to ETS proteins that ...

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

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

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

Isolation of human and murine hematopoietic stem cells for DNA damage and DNA repair assays
STAR Protocols, 2021 Summary: Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) reside in the bone marrow and supply blood cells. Efficient methods for isolation of HSPCs are required. Here, we present protocols for the isolation of human and murine HSPCs using manual and FACS-
