DNA photolyase is a highly efficient light-driven enzyme that repairs the UV-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer in damaged DNA. Herein, we investigate the repair reaction of the thymine dimer by means of hybrid quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical QM/ ...
Phosphorylation of H2AX (gamma H2AX) is an early sign of DNA damage induced by replication stalling. However, the role of H2AX in the repair of this type of DNA damage is still unclear. In this study, we used an inactivated adeno-associated virus (AAV) to ...
Telomeric TG-rich repeats and their associated proteins protect the termini of eukaryotic chromosomes from end-to-end fusions. Associated with the cap structure at yeast telomeres is a subtelomeric domain of heterochromatin, containing the silent informati ...
The human KIN17 protein is an essential nuclear protein conserved from yeast to human and expressed ubiquitously in mammals. Suppression of Rts2, the yeast equivalent of gene KIN17, renders the cells unviable, and silencing the human KIN17 gene slows cell ...
Transgenic mice have been used to explore the role of chromosomal translocations in the genesis of tumors. But none of these efforts has actually involved induction of a translocation in vivo. Here we report the use of Cre recombinase to replicate in vivo ...
Epigenetic silencing of essential components of DNA repair pathways is a common event in many tumor types, and comprise O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), human mut L homolog 1 (hMLH1), Werner syndrome gene (WRN), breast cancer susceptibility g ...
Poly(ADP-ribosyl) polymerases (PARPs) have traditionally been linked to chromosome maintenance and DNA repair. Recent findings identify PARPs as key modulators of metabolism through their influence on SIRT1 activity, hinting to a possible role of PARPs as ...
In a recent issue of Molecular Cell, Bonetti et al. (2009) identify in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that the molecular activities that generate 3' overhangs at telomeric DNA ends are the same as those that resect DNA at double-strand breaks. ...
Cisplatin is widely used in clinic treatment against a variety of cancer diseases. It binds to two adjacent guanine residues and induces a bend in the DNA double helix. It is believed that cell death is induced upon binding of proteins, which recognize pla ...
Dehalorespiration is an environmental-friendly bacterial anaerobic respiration that couples reductive dechlorination of chlorinated organic pollutants with energy conservation. Tetrachloroethene (PCE) respiration is encoded by the pce gene cluster in Desul ...
