A Versatile Scaffold Contributes to Damage Survival via Sumoylation and Nuclease Interactions

open access: yesCell Reports, 2014
Summary: DNA repair scaffolds mediate specific DNA and protein interactions in order to assist repair enzymes in recognizing and removing damaged sequences. Many scaffold proteins are dedicated to repairing a particular type of lesion. Here, we show that

PARP3 is a sensor of nicked nucleosomes and monoribosylates histone H2BGlu2

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Chromosomal single-strand DNA breaks occur frequently and require repair to avoid disease outcomes. Here, the authors show that in bird cells, PARP3 accelerates this repair, and use structural biology and cell biology techniques to reveal details of the ...

Targeting the DNA damage response and repair in cancer through nucleotide metabolism

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, 2022
The exploitation of the DNA damage response and DNA repair proficiency of cancer cells is an important anticancer strategy. The replication and repair of DNA are dependent upon the supply of deoxynucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) building blocks, which are ...

Polymorphism of genes encoding proteins of DNA repair vs. occupational and environmental exposure to lead, arsenic and pesticides

open access: yesMedycyna Pracy, 2018
Genetic polymorphism is associated with the occurrence of at least 2 different alleles in the locus with a frequency higher than 1% in the population.

Conformational Dynamics of Biopolymers in the Course of Their Interaction: Multifaceted Approaches to the Analysis by the Stopped-Flow Technique with Fluorescence Detection

open access: yesPhotonics, 2023
This review deals with modern approaches to systematic research on molecular-kinetic mechanisms of damage recognition and removal by pro- and eukaryotic enzymes of DNA base excision repair.

HIV-1 Vpr Reprograms CLR4DCAF1 E3 Ubiquitin Ligase to Antagonize Exonuclease 1-Mediated Restriction of HIV-1 Infection

open access: yesmBio, 2018
Viral accessory proteins hijack host cell E3 ubiquitin ligases to antagonize innate/intrinsic defenses and thereby provide a more permissive environment for virus replication.

Archaeal DNA Repair Mechanisms

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
Archaea often thrive in environmental extremes, enduring levels of heat, pressure, salinity, pH, and radiation that prove intolerable to most life. Many environmental extremes raise the propensity for DNA damaging events and thus, impact DNA stability ...

DNA-repair enzyme turns to translation

open access: yesNature, 2020
A key DNA-repair enzyme has a surprising role during the early steps in the assembly of ribosomes — the molecular machines that translate the genetic code into protein.

Charge-transport-mediated recruitment of DNA repair enzymes [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Chemical Physics, 2008
Damaged or mismatched bases in DNA can be repaired by base excision repair enzymes (BER) 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 et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 102, 3546

Fumarase affects the deoxyribonucleic acid damage response by protecting the mitochondrial desulfurase Nfs1p from modification and inactivation

open access: yesiScience, 2021
Summary: The Krebs cycle enzyme fumarase, which has been identified as a tumor suppressor, is involved in the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage response (DDR) in human, yeast, and bacterial cells.
