The DNA damage response acts as a safeguardagainst harmful DNA–RNA hybrids ofdifferent origins
(EMBO Press, 2019-07-24)
Despite playing physiological roles in specific situations, DNA–RNA hybrids threat genome integrity. To investigate how cells do counteract spontaneous DNA–RNA hybrids, here we screen an siRNA library covering 240 human ...

What causes an RNA-DNA hybrid to compromise genome integrity?
(Elsevier, 2019)
Transcription is a source of genome instability that stimulates mutation and recombination. Part of the damage produced by transcription is mediated by R-loops, non-B DNA structures that normally form by the re-annealing ...

Genome-wide analysis of factors affecting transcription elongation and DNA repair: a new role for PAF and Ccr4-not in transcription-coupled repair
(Public Library of Science, 2009)
RNA polymerases frequently deal with a number of obstacles during transcription elongation that need to be removed for transcription resumption. One important type of hindrance consists of DNA lesions, which are removed ...

Molecular evidence that the eukaryotic THO/TREX complex is required for efficient transcription elongation
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Inc., 2003)
THO/TREX is a conserved eukaryotic complex formed by the core THO complex plus proteins involved in mRNA metabolism and export such as Sub2 and Yra1. Mutations in any of the THO/TREX structural genes cause pleiotropic ...

Break-induced RNA–DNA hybrids (BIRDHs) in homologous recombination: friend or foe?
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2023)
Double-strand breaks (DSBs) are the most harmful DNA lesions, with a strong impact on cell proliferation and genome integrity. Depending on cell cycle stage, DSBs are preferentially repaired by non-homologous end joining ...

The S-phase checkpoint is required to respond to R-loops accumulated in THO mutants
(American Society for Microbiology, 2009)
Cotranscriptional R-loops are formed in yeast mutants of the THO complex, which functions at the interface between transcription and mRNA export. Despite the relevance of R-loops in transcription-associated recombination, the ...

The chromatin network helps prevent cancer-associated mutagenesis at transcription-replication conflicts
(Nature Research, 2023)
Genome instability is a feature of cancer cells, transcription being an important source of DNA damage. This is in large part associated with R-loops, which hamper replication, especially at head-on transcription-replication ...

The role of chromatin at transcription-replication conflicts as a genome safeguard
(Portland Press, 2021)
DNA replication ensures the correct copying of the genome and the faithful transfer of the genetic information to the offspring. However, obstacles to replication fork (RF) progression cause RF stalling and compromise ...

ADAR-mediated RNA editing of DNA:RNA hybrids is required for DNA double strand break repair
(Nature Publishing Group, 2021)
The maintenance of genomic stability requires the coordination of multiple cellular tasks upon the appearance of DNA lesions. RNA editing, the post-transcriptional sequence alteration of RNA, has a profound effect on cell ...
