Repression of Transcription at DNA Breaks Requires Cohesin throughout Interphase and Prevents Genome Instability.
(CELL PRESS, 2019-01-17)
Cohesin subunits are frequently mutated in cancer, but how they function as tumor suppressors is unknown. Cohesin mediates sister chromatid cohesion, but this is not always perturbed in cancer cells. Here, we identify a ...
The role of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complex in the response to DNA double strand breaks.
(ELSEVIER, 2020-09-01)
Mammalian cells possess multiple closely related SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complexes. These complexes have been implicated in the cellular response to DNA double strand breaks (DSBs). Evidence suggests that SWI/SNF ...
Discovery and Optimization of a Selective Ligand for the Switch/Sucrose Nonfermenting-Related Bromodomains of Polybromo Protein-1 by the Use of Virtual Screening and Hydration Analysis.
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2016-10-13)
Bromodomains (BRDs) are epigenetic interaction domains currently recognized as emerging drug targets for development of anticancer or anti-inflammatory agents. In this study, development of a selective ligand of the fifth ...
Requirement for PBAF in transcriptional repression and repair at DNA breaks in actively transcribed regions of chromatin.
(CELL PRESS, 2014-09-04)
Actively transcribed regions of the genome are vulnerable to genomic instability. Recently, it was discovered that transcription is repressed in response to neighboring DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). It is not known ...
BAF180 promotes cohesion and prevents genome instability and aneuploidy.
(CELL PRESS, 2014-03-27)
BAF180, a subunit of the PBAF chromatin remodeling complex, is frequently mutated in cancer. Although PBAF regulates transcription, it remains unclear whether this is what drives tumorigenesis in cells lacking BAF180. Based ...
Aneuploidy tolerance caused by BRG1 loss allows chromosome gains and recovery of fitness.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-04-01)
Aneuploidy results in decreased cellular fitness in many species and model systems. However, aneuploidy is commonly found in cancer cells and often correlates with aggressive growth, suggesting that the impact of aneuploidy ...
