DNA end resection: mechanism and control

P Cejka, LS Symington - Annual review of genetics, 2021 - annualreviews.org
DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are cytotoxic lesions that threaten genome integrity and
cell viability. Typically, cells repair DSBs by either nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) or …

The plasticity of DNA replication forks in response to clinically relevant genotoxic stress

M Berti, D Cortez, M Lopes - Nature reviews Molecular cell biology, 2020 - nature.com
Complete and accurate DNA replication requires the progression of replication forks through
DNA damage, actively transcribed regions, structured DNA and compact chromatin. Recent …

Two replication fork remodeling pathways generate nuclease substrates for distinct fork protection factors

W Liu, A Krishnamoorthy, R Zhao, D Cortez - Science advances, 2020 - science.org
Fork reversal is a common response to replication stress, but it generates a DNA end that is
susceptible to degradation. Many fork protection factors block degradation, but how they …

Multiple roles of DNA2 nuclease/helicase in DNA metabolism, genome stability and human diseases

L Zheng, Y Meng, JL Campbell… - Nucleic acids research, 2020 - academic.oup.com
DNA2 nuclease/helicase is a structure-specific nuclease, 5′-to-3′ helicase, and DNA-
dependent ATPase. It is involved in multiple DNA metabolic pathways, including Okazaki …

The emerging determinants of replication fork stability

T Thakar, GL Moldovan - Nucleic acids research, 2021 - academic.oup.com
A universal response to replication stress is replication fork reversal, where the nascent
complementary DNA strands are annealed to form a protective four-way junction allowing …

WEE1 kinase protects the stability of stalled DNA replication forks by limiting CDK2 activity

CR Elbæk, V Petrosius, J Benada, L Erichsen… - Cell reports, 2022 - cell.com
Cellular feedback systems ensure genome maintenance during DNA replication. When
replication forks stall, newly replicated DNA is protected by pathways that limit excessive …

Developmental signals control chromosome segregation fidelity during pluripotency and neurogenesis by modulating replicative stress

A de Jaime-Soguero, J Hattemer, A Bufe… - Nature …, 2024 - nature.com
Human development relies on the correct replication, maintenance and segregation of our
genetic blueprints. How these processes are monitored across embryonic lineages, and why …

[HTML][HTML] A fork in the road: Where homologous recombination and stalled replication fork protection part ways

S Tye, GE Ronson, JR Morris - Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2021 - Elsevier
In response to replication hindrances, DNA replication forks frequently stall and are
remodelled into a four-way junction. In such a structure the annealed nascent strand is …

H3K4 methylation by SETD1A/BOD1L facilitates RIF1-dependent NHEJ

R Bayley, V Borel, RJ Moss, E Sweatman, P Ruis… - Molecular Cell, 2022 - cell.com
Summary The 53BP1-RIF1-shieldin pathway maintains genome stability by suppressing
nucleolytic degradation of DNA ends at double-strand breaks (DSBs). Although RIF1 …

RNA: DNA hybrids from Okazaki fragments contribute to establish the Ku-mediated barrier to replication-fork degradation

C Audoynaud, K Schirmeisen, AA Saada, A Gesnik… - Molecular Cell, 2023 - cell.com
Nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) factors act in replication-fork protection, restart, and
repair. Here, we identified a mechanism related to RNA: DNA hybrids to establish the NHEJ …
