Transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair factors promote R-loop-induced genome instability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
R-loops, consisting of an RNA-DNA hybrid and displaced single-stranded DNA, are physiological structures that regulate various cellular processes occurring on chromatin.

Emerging Roles of Post-Translational Modifications in Nucleotide Excision Repair

open access: yesCells, 2020
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a versatile DNA repair pathway which can be activated in response to a broad spectrum of UV-induced DNA damage, such as bulky adducts, including cyclobutane-pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and 6–4 photoproducts (6–4PPs ...

In vitro reconstitution of an efficient nucleotide excision repair system using mesophilic enzymes from Deinococcus radiodurans

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2022
Reconstitution of D radiodurans nucleotide excision repair provides insights into the kinetics of repair on different DNA substrates and determines the order and precise sites of incisions on the 5’ and 3’ sides of the lesion.

A requirement for STAG2 in replication fork progression creates a targetable synthetic lethality in cohesin-mutant cancers. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Cohesin is a multiprotein ring that is responsible for cohesion of sister chromatids and formation of DNA loops to regulate gene expression. Genomic analyses have identified that the cohesin subunit STAG2 is frequently inactivated by mutations in cancer.

The Genetic Basis of Mutation Rate Variation in Yeast. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Mutations are the root source of genetic variation and underlie the process of evolution. Although the rates at which mutations occur vary considerably between species, little is known about differences within species, or the genetic and molecular basis ...

Chemical Biology of Mammalian DNA Repair

open access: yesCHIMIA, 2001
Damage to the heterocyclic bases of DNA in the genome is mainly corrected by the base excision repair (BER) or nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathways.

Exploiting DNA repair defects in triple negative breast cancer to improve cell killing

open access: yesTherapeutic Advances in Medical Oncology, 2020
Background: The lack of molecular targets for triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) has limited treatment options and reduced survivorship. Identifying new molecular targets may help improve patient survival and decrease recurrence and metastasis.

Association between NER pathway gene polymorphisms and neuroblastoma risk in an eastern Chinese population

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Oncolytics, 2021
Neuroblastoma is a common childhood malignancy. Nucleotide excision repair (NER) polymorphisms have been shown to influence cancer susceptibility by modifying DNA repair efficiency.

UV Protection in the Cornea: Failure and Rescue

open access: yesBiology, 2022
Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation induces DNA lesions in all directly exposed tissues. In the human body, two tissues are chronically exposed to UV: the skin and the cornea.

Defective DNA repair mechanisms in prostate cancer: impact of olaparib [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The field of prostate oncology has continued to change dramatically. It has truly become a field that is intensely linked to molecular genetic alterations, especially DNA-repair defects.
