Structural transitions and mechanochemical coupling in the nucleoprotein filament explain homology selectivity and Rad51 protein cooperativity in cellular DNA repair

The nucleoprotein filament (NPF) is the fundamental element of homologous recombination (HR), a major mechanism for the repair of double-strand DNA breaks in the cell. The NPF is made of the damaged DNA strand surrounded by recombinase proteins, and its se ...

Human shelterin protein POT1 prevents severe telomere instability induced by homology-directed DNA repair

Joachim Lingner, Galina Glousker, Anna-Sophia Briod

The evolutionarily conserved POT1 protein binds single-stranded G-rich telomeric DNA and has been implicated in contributing to telomeric DNA maintenance and the suppression of DNA damage checkpoint signaling. Here, we explore human POT1 function through g ...

Computational study of transcription factor binding sites

Romain Fernand Pietro Groux

Any living organism contains a whole set of instructions encoded as genes on the DNA. This set of instructions contains all the necessary information that the organism will ever need, from its development to a mature individual to environment specific resp ...

A partially self-regenerating synthetic cell

Sebastian Maerkl, Barbora Lavickova, Nadanai Laohakunakorn

Self-regeneration is a fundamental function of all living systems. Here we demonstrate partial molecular self-regeneration in a synthetic cell. By implementing a minimal transcription-translation system within microfluidic reactors, the system is able to r ...

RADX: A novel single-stranded DNA-binding protein regulating telomere recombination

Anna-Sophia Briod

Telomeres are specialized nucleoprotein structures present at the ends of linear chromosome. The telomeric DNA part is comprised of 5-15 kilo base pairs of double stranded TTAGGG repeats and it contains at the 3' end a single-stranded G-rich overhang of 50 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Exploring on Protein-DNA interactions

Alexandra Styliani Kalantzi

A variety of DNA-binding proteins organizes the chromosomal DNA and regulates gene transcription, and DNA replication and recombination. In particular, for gene regulation there is a category of DNA-binding proteins, the transcription factors, which can de ...

The role of OCT4 and SOX2 in regulating chromatin accessibility and cell fate across the cell cycle in embryonic stem cells

Torgil Elias Friman

Precise spatiotemporal regulation of gene expression is essential for development and homeostasis of complex organisms. This is achieved in large part by sequence-specific transcription factors (TF) that bind to genomic regulatory elements to activate or r ...

CSL controls telomere maintenance and genome stability in human dermal fibroblasts

Joachim Lingner, Thomas Frédéric Lunardi, Paris Jafari

Genomic instability is a hallmark of cancer. Whether it also occurs in Cancer Associated Fibroblasts (CAFs) remains to be carefully investigated. Loss of CSL/RBP-J kappa, the effector of canonical NOTCH signaling with intrinsic transcription repressive fun ...
