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 ...

Depletion of the MFAP1/SPP381 Splicing Factor Causes R-Loop-Independent Genome Instability
(Elsevier, 2019)
THO/TREX is a conserved complex with a role in messenger ribonucleoprotein biogenesis that links gene expression and genome instability. Here, we show that human THO interacts with MFAP1 (microfibrillar-associated protein ...

The THO Complex as a Paradigm for the Prevention of Cotranscriptional R-Loops
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2019)
Different proteins associate with the nascent RNA and the RNA polymerase (RNAP) to catalyze the transcription cycle and RNA export. If these processes are not properly controlled, the nascent RNA can thread back and hybridize ...

Yra1-bound RNA–DNA hybrids cause orientation-independent transcription– replication collisions and telomere instability
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2018)
R loops are an important source of genome instability, largely due to their negative impact on replication progression. Yra1/ALY is an abundant RNA-binding factor conserved from yeast to humans and required for mRNA export, ...

Histone Mutants Separate R Loop Formation from Genome Instability Induction
(Elsevier, 2017)
R loops have positive physiological roles, but they can also be deleterious by causing genome instability, and the mechanisms for this are unknown. Here we identified yeast histone H3 and H4 mutations that facilitate R ...
