Histone H3E73Q and H4E53A mutations cause recombinogenic DNA damage
(Shared Science Publishers OG, 2020)
The stability and function of eukaryotic genomes is closely linked to histones and to chromatin structure. The state of the chromatin not only affects the probability of DNA to undergo damage but also DNA repair. DNA damage ...

Histone deacetylases facilitate the accurate repair of broken forks
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)
We have recently uncovered that loss of the yeast histone deacetylases Rpd3 (Reduced Potassium Dependency 3) and Hda1 (Histone DeAcetylase 3) affects the cohesion between sister chromatids thus impairing repair of DNA ...

UAP56/DDX39B is a major cotranscriptional RNA–DNA helicase that unwinds harmful R loops genome-wide
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2020)
Nonscheduled R loops represent a major source of DNA damage and replication stress. Cells have different ways to prevent R-loop accumulation. One mechanism relies on the conserved THO complex in association with cotranscriptional ...

Harmful DNA:RNA hybrids are formed in cis and in a Rad51-independent manner
(eLife Sciences Publications, 2020)
DNA:RNA hybrids constitute a well-known source of recombinogenic DNA damage. The current literature is in agreement with DNA:RNA hybrids being produced co-transcriptionally by the invasion of the nascent RNA molecule ...

TDP2 suppresses genomic instability induced by androgens in the epithelial cells of prostate glands
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020)
Androgens stimulate the proliferation of epithelial cells in the prostate by activating topoisomerase 2 (TOP2) and regulating the transcription of target genes. TOP2 resolves the entanglement of genomic DNA by transiently ...

PHF2 regulates homology-directed DNA repair by controlling the resection of DNA double strand breaks
(Oxford University Press, 2020)
Post-translational histone modifications and chromatin remodelling play a critical role controlling the integrity of the genome. Here, we identify histone lysine demethylase PHF2 as a novel regulator of the DNA damage ...

Spontaneous DNA-RNA hybrids: differential impacts throughout the cell cycle
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)
A large body of research supports that transcription plays a major role among the many sources of replicative stress contributing to genome instability. It is therefore not surprising that the DNA damage response has a ...

Thyroid hormones in diabetes, cancer, and aging
(Wiley, 2020)
Thyroid function is central in the control of physiological and pathophysiological processes. Studies in animal models and human research have determined that thyroid hormones modulate cellular processes relevant for aging ...

Looping the (R) Loop in DSB Repair via RNA Methylation
(Elsevier, 2020)
In this issue of Molecular Cell, Zhang et al. (2020) reveal that ATM triggers RNA methylation of DNA-RNA hybrids formed at double-strand breaks (DSBs) to modulate repair, adding a new layer of complexity to RNA's role in ...

Endogenous topoisomerase II-mediated DNA breaks drive thymic cancer predisposition linked to ATM deficiency
(Springer Nature, 2020)
The ATM kinase is a master regulator of the DNA damage response to double-strand breaks (DSBs) and a well-established tumour suppressor whose loss is the cause of the neurodegenerative and cancer-prone syndrome ...
