Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.PARP inhibitors are used to treat a small subset of prostate cancer patients. These studies reveal that PARP1 activity and expression are different between European American and African American prostate cancer tissue samples. Additionally, different PARP inhibitors cause unique and overlapping transcriptional changes, notably, p53 pathway upregulation.

Pan-cancer landscape of homologous recombination deficiency
Nature Communications, 2020 Cancers deficient in homologous recombination can benefit from treatment with poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. Here, the authors generated a classifier that can predict homologous recombination deficiency from genomic data and suggest ...

Global divergence of microbial genome sequences mediated by propagating fronts
, 2005 We model the competition between recombination and point mutation in microbial genomes, and present evidence for two distinct phases, one uniform, the other genetically diverse.

EXOSC10 is required for RPA assembly and controlled DNA end resection at DNA double-strand breaks [PDF]
, 2019 The exosome is a ribonucleolytic complex that plays important roles in RNA metabolism. Here we show that the exosome is necessary for the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in human cells and that RNA clearance is an essential step in homologous ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Genetic testing in epithelial ovarian cancer includes both germline and tumor‐testing. This approach often duplicates resources. The current prospective study assessed the feasibility of tumor‐first multigene testing by comparing tumor tissue with germline testing of peripheral blood using an 18‐gene NGS panel in 106 patients.

The many facets of homologous recombination at telomeres
Microbial Cell, 2015 The ends of linear chromosomes are capped by nucleoprotein structures called telomeres. A dysfunctional telomere may resemble a DNA double-strand break (DSB), which is a severe form of DNA damage. The presence of one DSB is sufficient to

Which way up? Recognition of homologous DNA segments in parallel and antiparallel alignment
, 2014 Homologous gene shuffling between DNA promotes genetic diversity and is an important pathway for DNA repair. For this to occur, homologous genes need to find and recognize each other.

Antigenic variation in the African trypanosome: molecular mechanisms and phenotypic complexity [PDF]
, 2009 Antigenic variation is an immune evasion strategy that has evolved in viral, bacterial and protistan pathogens. In the African trypanosome this involves stochastic switches in the composition of a variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) coat, using a massive ...

Rethinking plastic waste: innovations in enzymatic breakdown of oil‐based polyesters and bioplastics
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Plastic pollution remains a critical environmental challenge, and current mechanical and chemical recycling methods are insufficient to achieve a fully circular economy. This review highlights recent breakthroughs in the enzymatic depolymerization of both oil‐derived polyesters and bioplastics, including high‐throughput protein engineering, de novo ...

Orientation Dependence in Homologous Recombination [PDF]
Genetics, 1996 Abstract Homologous recombination was investigated in Escherichia coli with two plasmids, each carrying the homologous region (two defective neo genes, one with an amino-end deletion and the other with a carboxyl-end deletion) in either direct or inverted orientation.
