  • The dynamic turnover of PAR within seconds to minutes is executed by poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase, the main PAR-degrading enzyme, which possesses both endoglycosidic and exoglycosidic activities, thereby enabling a new round of DNA damage signaling 14 . (nature.com)
  • These included PTEN-dependent DNA damage repair in response to SHP2 inhibition, AKT-mediated bypass resistance in response to chronic SHP2 inhibition, and SHP2 control of hypoxia-inducible factor expression through multiple MAPKs. (aacrjournals.org)

  • I believe this new tool opens up replication-fork biology to biochemical study by our own and many other labs, providing a new tool to unravel some pressing questions in a number of fields of study, including epigenetics and DNA repair," O'Donnell says. (scienceblog.com)

  • Next, as direct measure of RS, we observed that replication fork speed, measured by single molecule DNA combing ML335 analysis, is lower in cells expressing OSKM than in GFP-expressing cells (Supplementary Fig. 3f). (researchassistantresume.com)
  • The Groth group has a strong record track in collaborative interdisciplinary research and developing new tailored technologies to address chromatin replication and epigenetic cell memory (NCC-proteomics, ChOR-seq, SCAR-seq, and repli-ATAC-seq). (ku.dk)
  • Such rare events, such as fork stall or collapse, are highly biologically significant, but we understand little of where and when they may occur across a genome. (mskcc.org)
  • For the first time, researchers in Michael O'Donnell 's Laboratory of DNA Replication have built a model that can enable scientists to study what happens at the "replication fork" - the point where the DNA molecule is split down the middle in order to create an exact copy of each side.
