Direct involvement of retinoblastoma family proteins in DNA repair by non-homologous end-joining.
(CELL PRESS, 2015-03-31)
Deficiencies in DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair lead to genetic instability, a recognized cause of cancer initiation and evolution. We report that the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein (RB1) is required for DNA ...
CHD7 and 53BP1 regulate distinct pathways for the re-ligation of DNA double-strand breaks.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2020-11-13)
Chromatin structure is dynamically reorganized at multiple levels in response to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Yet, how the different steps of chromatin reorganization are coordinated in space and time to differentially ...
Structural basis for the inactivation of cytosolic DNA sensing by the vaccinia virus.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-11-18)
Detection of cytosolic DNA is a central element of the innate immunity system against viral infection. The Ku heterodimer, a component of the NHEJ pathway of DNA repair in the nucleus, functions as DNA sensor that detects ...
The Ku-binding motif is a conserved module for recruitment and stimulation of non-homologous end-joining proteins.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-04-11)
The Ku-binding motif (KBM) is a short peptide module first identified in APLF that we now show is also present in Werner syndrome protein (WRN) and in Modulator of retrovirus infection homologue (MRI). We also identify a ...
DNA-PK controls Apollo's access to leading-end telomeres.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2024-05-08)
The complex formed by Ku70/80 and DNA-PKcs (DNA-PK) promotes the synapsis and the joining of double strand breaks (DSBs) during canonical non-homologous end joining (c-NHEJ). In c-NHEJ during V(D)J recombination, DNA-PK ...
