BRCA1-A and LIG4 complexes mediate ecDNA biogenesis and cancer drug resistance
Extrachromosomal circular DNA (ecDNA) are commonly produced within the nucleus to drive genome dynamics and heterogeneity, enabling cancer cell evolution and adaptation. However, the mechanisms underlying ecDNA biogenesis remain poorly understood.

Safeguarding spermatogenesis from retrotransposon insertions by forming ecDNA
Retrotransposon mobilization in germline cells enables the rewriting of genetic information to drive genome innovation, species evolution, and adaptation through the generation of de novo mutations. However, uncontrolled mobilization can cause DNA breaks

Abstract 3897: Investigating the prevalence of ecDNA in breast cancer
Cancer ResearchExtrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) has been described in multiple cancer types. ecDNAs are circular and are usually greater than 500 base pairs in size. ecDNA structures lack centromeres and thus do not follow the Mendelian mode of inheritance, segregating ...

Mitotic transcription ensures ecDNA inheritance through chromosomal tethering
bioRxivSUMMARYExtrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) are circular DNA bodies that play critical roles in tumor progression and treatment resistance by amplifying oncogenes across a wide range of cancer types. ecDNA lack centromeres and are thus not constrained by typical Mendelian segregation, enabling their unequal accumulation within daughter cells and associated ...

ecDNAs personify cancer gangsters
Molecular Cell, 2022Alterations to gene regulatory plexuses typify oncogenesis, and two recent studies from Hung, Yost, Xie et al. (Hung et al., 2021) and Yi et al. (2021) collectively reveal the competitive advantage of extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) to set their own rules to control transcription by clustering into ecDNA hubs through intermolecular interactions that ...

Extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) in cancer pathogenesis
Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2021In cancer, oncogenes and surrounding regulatory regions can untether themselves from chromosomes, forming extrachromosomal DNA particles (ecDNAs). Because of their non-chromosomal inheritance, ecDNA drives high oncogene copy number and intratumoral genetic heterogeneity, endowing tumors with the ability to rapidly change their genomes, accelerating ...
