RAD51-dependent recruitment of TERRA lncRNA to telomeres through R-loops

Joachim Lingner, Thomas Frédéric Lunardi, Marianna Feretzaki, Rita Valador Fernandes

Telomeres-repeated, noncoding nucleotide motifs and associated proteins that are found at the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes-mediate genome stability and determine cellular lifespan1. Telomeric-repeat-containing RNA (TERRA) is a class of long noncoding RNA ...

SMCHD1 promotes ATM-dependent DNA damage signaling and repair of uncapped telomeres

Joachim Lingner, Wareed Ahmed, Verena Pfeiffer, Marianna Feretzaki, Aleksandra Vancevska

Structural maintenance of chromosomes flexible hinge domain-containing protein 1 (SMCHD1) has been implicated in X-chromosome inactivation, imprinting, and DNA damage repair, and mutations in SMCHD1 can cause facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy. More re ...

Fryns type mesomelic dysplasia of the upper limbs caused by inverted duplications of the HOXD gene cluster

Denis Duboule

The HoxD cluster is critical for vertebrate limb development. Enhancers located in both the telomeric and centromeric gene deserts flanking the cluster regulate the transcription of HoxD genes. In rare patients, duplications, balanced translocations or inv ...

Torsin ATPases influence chromatin interaction of the Torsin regulator LAP1

Rudolf Hovius, Beat Fierz

The inner nuclear membrane is functionalized by diverse transmembrane proteins that associate with nuclear lamins and/or chromatin. When cells enter mitosis, membrane-chromatin contacts must be broken to allow for proper chromosome segregation; yet how thi ...

The Metal Catalyst Influences the Kinetics and Mechanisms of MS2 Inactivation in Fenton-like Systems

Tamar Kohn, Jessica Ivana Nieto Juarez

Human enteric viruses are frequent microbial contaminants of surface water and groundwater. Waterborne viruses can be effectively inactivated by oxidants, such as those generated in Fenton-like systems. However, the mechanisms by which this inactivation oc ...

Genome-wide Screens Implicate Loss of Cullin Ring Ligase 3 in Persistent Proliferation and Genome Instability in TP53-Deficient Cells

Sebastian Martin Waszak, Ruxandra-Andreea Lambuta

TP53 deficiency is the most common alteration in cancer; however, this alone is typically insufficient to drive tumorigenesis. To identify genes promoting tumorigenesis in combination with TP53 deficiency, we perform genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screen ...

Genomic Analysis of European Drosophila melanogaster Populations Reveals Longitudinal Structure, Continent-Wide Selection, and Previously Unknown DNA Viruses

Bart Deplancke

Genetic variation is the fuel of evolution, with standing genetic variation especially important for short-term evolution and local adaptation. To date, studies of spatiotemporal patterns of genetic variation in natural populations have been challenging, a ...

Expression and differential regulation of human TERRA at several chromosome ends

Joachim Lingner, Marianna Feretzaki, Patricia Renck Nunes

The telomeric long noncoding RNA TERRA has been implicated in regulating telomere maintenance by telomerase and homologous recombination, and in influencing telomeric protein composition during the cell cycle and the telomeric DNA damage response. TERRA tr ...

Functional analysis of the telomeric long non-coding RNA TERRA

Patricia Renck Nunes

Telomeres are nucleoprotein structures present in the end of linear chromosomes. In humans, a core complex of 6 proteins cap and protect the chromosome ends from being recognized as double-strand breaks and eliciting unwanted DNA damage and repair response ...

Infrared nanospectroscopic mapping of a single metaphase chromosome

Giovanni Dietler, Andrzej Kulik, Francesco Simone Ruggeri, Ewelina Wioletta Lipiec

The integrity of the chromatin structure is essential to every process occurring within eukaryotic nuclei. However, there are no reliable tools to decipher the molecular composition of metaphase chromosomes. Here, we have applied infrared nanospectroscopy ...
