Fixing DNA breaks during class switch recombination
Immunoglobulin (Ig) class switch recombination (CSR) involves the breakage and subsequent repair of two DNA sequences, known as switch (S) regions, which flank IgH constant region exons. The resolution of CSR-associated breaks is thought to require the nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) DNA repair pathway, but the role of the NHEJ factor DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) i...
متن کاملDEK is required for homologous recombination repair of DNA breaks
DEK is a highly conserved chromatin-bound protein whose upregulation across cancer types correlates with genotoxic therapy resistance. Loss of DEK induces genome instability and sensitizes cells to DNA double strand breaks (DSBs), suggesting defects in DNA repair. While these DEK-deficiency phenotypes were thought to arise from a moderate attenuation of non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) repair,...
متن کاملTritylium ions as initiators and co-initiators in cationic polymerizations
On the other hand, the less stabilized tris(4chlorophenyl)methyl cation (1 b) was reported to initiate the polymerization of isobutene3). In accordance, p-methoxy and p-methyl substituted tritylium ions do not initiate the polymerization of a-methylstyrene, in contrast to the less stable 1 a and 1 b4). Only for few reactive monomers, however, the initiation was proven to proceed via addition of...
متن کاملGenetic recombination as DNA repair
Maintenance of sexual reproduction and genetic recombination imposes physiological costs when compared to parthenogenic reproduction, most prominently: for maintaining the corresponding (molecular) machinery, for finding a mating partner, and through the decreased fraction of females in a population, which decreases the reproductive capacity. Based on principles from information theory, we have...
متن کاملInterstrand cross-links arising from strand breaks at true abasic sites in duplex DNA
Interstrand cross-links are exceptionally bioactive DNA lesions. Endogenous generation of interstrand cross-links in genomic DNA may contribute to aging, neurodegeneration, and cancer. Abasic (Ap) sites are common lesions in genomic DNA that readily undergo spontaneous and amine-catalyzed strand cleavage reactions that generate a 2,3-didehydro-2,3-dideoxyribose sugar remnant (3'ddR5p) at the 3'...
