Mechanism and regulation of DNA damage recognition in nucleotide excision repair
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a versatile DNA repair pathway, which can remove an extremely broad range of base lesions from the genome. In mammalian global genomic NER, the XPC protein complex initiates the repair reaction by recognizing sites of ...

Nucleotide Excision Repair inCaenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) plays an essential role in many organisms across life domains to preserve and faithfully transmit DNA to the next generation. In humans, NER is essential to prevent DNA damage-induced mutation accumulation and cell death leading to cancer and aging.

Deficiency of nucleotide excision repair is associated with mutational signature observed in cancer
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is one of the main DNA repair pathways that protect cells against genomic damage. Disruption of this pathway can contribute to the development of cancer and accelerate aging.

Sensitivity and resistance of cells to platinum drug chemotherapy are to a large extent determined by activity of the DNA damage response (DDR). Combining chemotherapy with inhibition of specific DDR pathways could therefore improve treatment efficacy ...

Regulation of nucleotide excision repair by nuclear lamin b1. [PDF]
The nuclear lamins play important roles in the structural organization and function of the metazoan cell nucleus. Recent studies on B-type lamins identified a requirement for lamin B1 (LB1) in the regulation of cell proliferation in normal diploid cells.

Nucleotide excision repair of abasic DNA lesions
Apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) sites are a class of highly mutagenic and toxic DNA lesions arising in the genome from a number of exogenous and endogenous sources. Repair of AP lesions takes place predominantly by the base excision pathway (BER).

Transcription coupled repair and biased insertion of human retrotransposon L1 in transcribed genes
Background L1 retrotransposons inserted within genes in the human genome show a strong bias against sense orientation with respect to the gene. One suggested explanation for this observation was the possibility that L1 inserted randomly, but that there ...

Global-genome Nucleotide Excision Repair Controlled by Ubiquitin/Sumo Modifiers
Global-genome nucleotide excision repair (GG-NER) prevents genome instability by excising a wide range of structurally unrelated DNA base adducts and crosslinks induced by chemical carcinogens, ultraviolet (UV) radiation or intracellular metabolic by ...

DNA Repair Repertoire of the Enigmatic Hydra
Since its discovery by Abraham Trembley in 1744, hydra has been a popular research organism. Features like spectacular regeneration capacity, peculiar tissue dynamics, continuous pattern formation, unique evolutionary position, and an apparent lack of ...

Nucleotide Excision Repair and TranscriptionâAssociated Genome Instability
Transcription is a potential threat to genome integrity, and transcriptionâassociated DNA damage must be repaired for proper messenger RNA (mRNA) synthesis and for cells to transmit their genome intact into progeny.
