The Role of Long Non Coding RNAs in the Repair of DNA Double Strand Breaks
DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) are abrasions caused in both strands of the DNA duplex following exposure to both exogenous and endogenous conditions. Such abrasions have deleterious effect in cells leading to genome rearrangements and cell death. A number of repair systems including homologous recombination (HR) and non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) have been evolved to minimize the fatal effe...
متن کاملCtIP Is Required to Initiate Replication-Dependent Interstrand Crosslink Repair
DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) are toxic lesions that block the progression of replication and transcription. CtIP is a conserved DNA repair protein that facilitates DNA end resection in the double-strand break (DSB) repair pathway. Here we show that CtIP plays a critical role during initiation of ICL processing in replicating human cells that is distinct from its role in DSB repair. CtIP de...
متن کاملThe ATPase motif in RAD51D is required for resistance to DNA interstrand crosslinking agents and interaction with RAD51C.
Homologous recombination (HR) is a mechanism for repairing DNA interstrand crosslinks and double-strand breaks. In mammals, HR requires the activities of the RAD51 family (RAD51, RAD51B, RAD51C, RAD51D, XRCC2, XRCC3 and DMC1), each of which contains conserved ATP binding sequences (Walker Motifs A and B). RAD51D is a DNA-stimulated ATPase that interacts directly with RAD51C and XRCC2. To test t...
متن کاملDNA interstrand crosslink repair in mammalian cells.
DNA damage by agents crosslinking the strands presents a formidable challenge to the cell to repair for survival and to repair accurately for maintenance of genetic information. It appears that repair of DNA crosslinks occurs in a path involving double strand breaks (DSBs) in the DNA. Mammalian cells have multiple systems involved in the repair response to such damage, including the Fanconi ane...
متن کاملUHRF1 is a sensor for DNA interstrand crosslinks
The human genome is guarded against mutations by several DNA repair pathways. Common for all pathways, is the initiating event of detecting the DNA damage. This initial event is followed by the coordinated recruitment of various other DNA repair proteins needed for the repair. For instance, the MSH2/MSH6 complex detects DNA mismatches, while the MRN or KU70/KU80 complexes detect double strand b...
