Processing of Damaged DNA Ends for Double-Strand Break Repair in Mammalian Cells [PDF]
, 2012 Most DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) formed in a natural environment have chemical modifications at or near the ends that preclude direct religation and require removal or other processing so that rejoining can proceed.

Contribution of DNA repair and cell cycle checkpoint arrest to the maintenance of genomic stability [PDF]
, 2006 DNA damage response mechanisms encompass pathways of DNA repair, cell cycle checkpoint arrest and apoptosis. Together, these mechanisms function to maintain genomic stability in the face of exogenous and endogenous DNA damage.

Phaeocystis globosa Virus DNA Polymerase X: a “Swiss Army knife”, Multifunctional DNA polymerase-lyase-ligase for Base Excision Repair [PDF]
, 2011 Phaeocystis globosa virus 16T is a giant virus that belongs to the so-called nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA virus (NCLDV) group. Its linear dsDNA genome contains an almost full complement of genes required to participate in viral base excision repair (BER).

Role of the DNA ligase III zinc finger in polynucleotide binding and ligation [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 1998 Mammalian DNA ligase III exists as two distinct isoforms denoted alpha and beta. Both forms possess a motif that is homologous to the putative zinc finger present in poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase. Here, the role of this motif in the binding and ligation of nicked DNA and RNA substrates in vitro has been examined in both isoforms.

Efficient assembly of very short oligonucleotides using T4 DNA Ligase [PDF]
, 2010 Background In principle, a pre-constructed library of all possible short oligonucleotides could be used to construct many distinct gene sequences. In order to assess the feasibility of such an approach, we characterized T4 DNA Ligase activity on short ...

5‐Methylcytosine Analysis of miRNAs in Minimal Change Disease
Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Minimal change disease (MCD) is a glomerular disorder, which is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in children. Additionally, the prevalence of MCD in adults has been increasing in recent years. During protein synthesis, noncoding RNAs can be regulated through a variety of modifications, which helps preserve biological diversity and ...

tRNA ligase structure reveals kinetic competition between non-conventional mRNA splicing and mRNA decay. [PDF]
, 2019 Yeast tRNA ligase (Trl1) is an essential trifunctional enzyme that catalyzes exon-exon ligation during tRNA biogenesis and the non-conventional splicing of HAC1 mRNA during the unfolded protein response (UPR).

DNA DSB repair pathway choice: an orchestrated handover mechanism [PDF]
, 2014 DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) are potential lethal lesions but can also lead to chromosome rearrangements, a step promoting carcinogenesis. DNA non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) is the major DSB rejoining process and occurs in all cell cycle stages ...

Chemical Syntheses of 3′ and 5′ Phosphorylated Oligonucleotides: An Overview
European Journal of Organic Chemistry, EarlyView.This review provides an overview of the various chemical methods employed in the synthesis of oligonucleotides bearing a phosphate group at their 3′ or 5′ end. Notably, it presents modified phosphoramidites and supports developed for this purpose. Oligonucleotides (ON) with a phosphate monoester group at their 3′ or 5′ end have applications in many ...
