H4K20me0 recognition by BRCA1-BARD1 directs homologous recombination in sister chromatids

open access: yesNature Cell Biology, 2019
Genotoxic DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) can be repaired by error-free homologous recombination (HR) or mutagenic non-homologous end-joining1. HR supresses tumorigenesis1, but is restricted to the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle when a sister ...

Mouse WRN Helicase Domain Is Not Required for Spontaneous Homologous Recombination-Mediated DNA Deletion

open access: yesJournal of Nucleic Acids, 2010
Werner syndrome is a rare disorder that manifests as premature aging and age-related diseases. WRN is the gene mutated in WS, and is one of five human RecQ helicase family members.

SUMOylation of Rad52-Rad59 synergistically change the outcome of mitotic recombination [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Homologous recombination (HR) is essential for maintenance of genome stability through double-strand break (DSB) repair, but at the same time HR can lead to loss of heterozygosity and uncontrolled recombination can be genotoxic.

Bacterial microevolution and the Pangenome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The comparison of multiple genome sequences sampled from a bacterial population reveals considerable diversity in both the core and the accessory parts of the pangenome.

Reconstitution of recombination-associated DNA synthesis with human proteins. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The repair of DNA breaks by homologous recombination is a high-fidelity process, necessary for the maintenance of genome integrity. Thus, DNA synthesis associated with recombinational repair must be largely error-free.

PARP Inhibitors as a Therapeutic Agent for Homologous Recombination Deficiency in Breast Cancers

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Medicine, 2019
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) play an important role in various cellular processes, such as replication, recombination, chromatin remodeling, and DNA repair.

Improved Gene Targeting through Cell Cycle Synchronization. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Gene targeting is a challenge in organisms where non-homologous end-joining is the predominant form of recombination. We show that cell division cycle synchronization can be applied to significantly increase the rate of homologous recombination during ...

The BRCA Tumor Suppressor Network in Chromosome Damage Repair by Homologous Recombination.

open access: yesAnnual Review of Biochemistry, 2019
Mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes predispose afflicted individuals to breast, ovarian, and other cancers. The BRCA-encoded products form complexes with other tumor suppressor proteins and with the recombinase enzyme RAD51 to mediate chromosome ...

Using single loxP sites to enhance homologous recombination: ts mutants in Sec1 of Dictyostelium discoideum.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2007
BackgroundDictyostelium discoideum amoebae are haploid and, as they share many features with animal cells, should be an ideal creature for studying basic processes such as cell locomotion.

BRCA2 and homologous recombination [PDF]

open access: yesBreast Cancer Research, 2001
Two recent papers provide new evidence relevant to the role of the breast cancer susceptibility gene BRCA2 in DNA repair. Moynahan et al provide genetic data indicating a requirement for BRCA2 in homology-dependent (recombinational) repair of DNA double-strand breaks.
