Spotting new DNA damage-responsive chromatin-binding proteins.
In response to DNA damage, cells initiate multiple repair mechanisms that all contribute to the survival of both the cell and the organism. These responses are numerous and variable, and can include cell cycle arrest, transcriptional activation of DNA repair genes and relocalization of repair proteins to sites of DNA damage. If all else fails, in multicellular organisms the initiation of apopto...
متن کاملAnalysis of chromatin integrity and DNA damage of buffalo spermatozoa
This study was conducted to determine chromatin integrity and DNA damage by DNA electrophoresis and comet assays of buffalo fresh and frozen semen. Semen samples were collected from four buffalo bulls and evaluated after freezing for semen motility, viability, sperm abnormalities, chromatin integrity and DNA damage. A significant variation was found in semen parameters after thawing. Highly sig...
متن کاملReshaping chromatin after DNA damage: the choreography of histone proteins
DNA damage signaling and repair machineries operate in a nuclear environment where DNA is wrapped around histone proteins and packaged into chromatin. Understanding how chromatin structure is restored together with the DNA sequence during DNA damage repair has been a topic of intense research. Indeed, chromatin integrity is central to cell functions and identity. However, chromatin shows remark...
متن کاملRoles of RNA-Binding Proteins in DNA Damage Response
Living cells experience DNA damage as a result of replication errors and oxidative metabolism, exposure to environmental agents (e.g., ultraviolet light, ionizing radiation (IR)), and radiation therapies and chemotherapies for cancer treatments. Accumulation of DNA damage can lead to multiple diseases such as neurodegenerative disorders, cancers, immune deficiencies, infertility, and also aging...
متن کاملRegulation of chromatin architecture by the PWWP domain-containing DNA damage-responsive factor EXPAND1/MUM1.
Dynamic changes of chromatin structure facilitate diverse biological events, including DNA replication, repair, recombination, and gene transcription. Recent evidence revealed that DNA damage elicits alterations to the chromatin to facilitate proper checkpoint activation and DNA repair. Here we report the identification of the PWWP domain-containing protein EXPAND1/MUM1 as an architectural comp...
