  • We've identified a new factor that has an important role in the response to replication stress," says Mailand. (rupress.org)
  • The study suggests that TRAIP promotes the resolution of replication stress by spurring the formation of RPA-covered single-stranded DNA and ATR activation. (rupress.org)

  • Origin licensing is the preliminary step for normal replication initiation during late G1 and early S phase and involves the recruitment of the pre-replicative complex (pre-RC) to the replication origins. (wikipedia.org)
  • Licensing begins with the binding of the multi-subunit ATPase, the origin recognition complex (ORC), to the DNA at the replication origins. (wikipedia.org)
  • Origins of replication alternate between these two distinct states during the cell cycle. (wikipedia.org)
  • A licensing factor which is required for replication initiation binds to origins in the prereplicative state. (wikipedia.org)
  • The precise regulations of pre-RC protein levels and assembly are effective ways to prevent reassembly of de novo MCM2-7 onto the replicated origins to re-license and re-replicate the genomic DNA in the subsequent phases of the same cell cycle ( Figure 1) . (intechopen.com)
  • Additionally, cyclin-dependent kinase promotes initiation by phosphorylating Sld2 and Sld3. (royalsociety.org)
  • In this chapter, we mainly discuss the coordination regulations between DNA replication initiation and other cell cycle events that ensure genomic integrity. (intechopen.com)
  • As a start to designing those gene-targeting tools, Elledge, now a professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School, began by trying to clone the mammalian homolog of recA , a bacterial gene required for DNA repair via recombination. (the-scientist.com)
  • ATR additionally facilitates homologous recombination repair through modulation of the p53-replication protein A (p53-RPA) complex bound to single-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (ssDNA) during the DNA repair process. (survivornet.com)

  • Nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) is a DNA-binding protein involved in gene transcription. (medscape.com)
  • We observe that each gene and its products have a unique set of DNA, RNA or protein motifs that encode a regulatory program to define the logical circuitry that guides the life cycle of these biomolecules, from transcription to degradation. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Using this inhibitor we have also demonstrated for the first time a link between ATR and the key regulator of the hypoxic response, HIF-1. (ox.ac.uk)
  • DNA repair is a normal and vital process within the cell. (lls.org)
  • Without this repair process, the cancer cell is much more susceptible to damage and cannot grow. (lls.org)
  • Driven by a profound interest in the nuclear events that influence human cell health and disease, I dedicated four years to serving as a European Framework for DNA Repair Postdoctoral Research Fellow. (westminster.ac.uk)

  • The human mutY homolog (hMYH) is a base excision repair DNA glycosylase that excises adenines or 2-hydroxyadenines that are mispaired with guanine or 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG). (biomedcentral.com)
  • PC4 played a role in the extremely early reaction of DNA damage by identifying single-stranded DNA damage, and could be recruited early to the DNA damage site, thus possibly initiating or promoting the subsequent steps of DNA damage and repair. (grassius.org)
  • Recent studies indicate that ATM is activated primarily in response to double strand breaks and may be considered a caretaker of the genome. (bmj.com)
  • Moreover, we observed that hMYH was essential for the accumulation of hTopBP1 on damaged DNA, where hTopBP1 interacts with hRad9, a component of the Rad9-Hus1-Rad1 complex. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Then hTopBP1 interacts with ATR-ATRIP through its ATR-activating domain (AD) and stimulates ATR kinase activity [ 8 , 9 ]. (biomedcentral.com)

  • A cell may run short of nucleotides to plug into the new DNA strands, for example, or the replication machinery might run into a section of DNA that is damaged or tricky to copy. (rupress.org)
  • In turn, RPA coats single strands and draws in the ATR kinase, which halts the cell cycle and triggers other responses that protect the genome while the cell removes the blockage ( 4 ). (rupress.org)
  • The specific changes on the DNA upon UV exposure are different from those induced by γ irradiation, mostly resulting in chemical modifications of single DNA strands such as cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and 6-4 photoproducts ( Balajee and Bohr, 2000 ). (rupress.org)
