Echoed induction of nucleotide variants and chromosomal structural variants in cancer cells
Scientific Reports, 2022 Generally, the number of single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) in somatic cells increases with age, which is expected for replication errors. The number of SNVs in cancer cells, however, is often much higher than that in somatic cells, raising the question ...

eLife, 2023 Arrested replication forks, when restarted by homologous recombination, result in error-prone DNA syntheses and non-allelic homologous recombination. Fission yeast RTS1 is a model fork barrier used to probe mechanisms of recombination-dependent restart ...

Replication dynamics of recombination-dependent replication forks
Nature Communications, 2021 Replication forks that are stalled at obstacles on the DNA template can be restarted by homologous recombination. Here, the authors show replication dynamics during homologous recombination-dependent replication fork restart by combining polymerase usage

eLife, 2021 The essential Smc5/6 complex is required in response to replication stress and is best known for ensuring the fidelity of homologous recombination. Using single-molecule tracking in live fission yeast to investigate Smc5/6 chromatin association, we show ...

CRISPR-Associated Primase-Polymerases are implicated in prokaryotic CRISPR-Cas adaptation
Nature Communications, 2021 CAPPs are putative Primase-Polymerases associated with CRISPR-Cas operons. Here, the authors show CAPPs genetic and physical association with Cas1 and Cas2, their capacity to function as DNA-dependent DNA primases and DNA polymerases, and that Cas1-Cas2 ...

Inhibition of MRN activity by a telomere protein motif
Nature Communications, 2021 Telomeres suppress the DNA damage response at chromosome ends. Here the authors show that in budding yeast the activity of the MRX complex in DNA repair and DNA damage signaling is inhibited by telomeric protein Rif2 via a short motif at the N-terminus.

Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Unlike bacteria, mammalian cells need to complete DNA replication before segregating their chromosomes for the maintenance of genome integrity. Thus, cells have evolved efficient pathways to restore stalled and/or collapsed replication forks during S ...

Genes and Environment, 2021 Background Stress response is mediated by the transcription of stress-responsive genes. The F-box motif protein Saf1p is involved in SCF-E3 ligase mediated degradation of the adenine deaminase, Aah1p upon nutrient stress.

A nucleotide resolution map of Top2-linked DNA breaks in the yeast and human genome
Nature Communications, 2019 Topoisomerase 2 (Top2) is known to resolve DNA topological stress through double strand breaks (DSBs), yet Top2 inhibition has been reported to result in a significant amount of single-strand breaks (SSBs).

Nature Communications, 2019 The kinase PLK1 has important roles during cell division, including mitotic entry and bipolar spindle formation. Here, the authors show that PLK1 also functions in centromere protection, with loss leading to DNA unwinding by Bloom’s syndrome helicase and
