  2. 1. DNA double-strand break repair in ascomycetes

    Author : Jiang Chen; Stefan Åström; Michael Lisby; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental Biology;

    Abstract : Nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination (HR) are two pathways for DNA double strand break (DSB) repair. We found that the NHEJ protein Nej1 interacted physically with the HR protein Srs2, which was dependent on phosphorylation of Nej1 by Dun1. Srs2 recruitment to a DSB partly relied on Nej1 and Dun1.

  4. 2. Characterization of Budding Yeast Nonhomologous End-Joining at DNA Double-Strand Breaks and Telomeres

    Author : Sidney Carter; Stefan Åström; Ed Louis; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : DNA repair; nonhomologous end-joining; double-strand break; Developmental Biology; miljömedicinsk utvecklingsbiologi;

    Abstract : The yeast K. lactis efficiently integrates DNA by illegitimate recombination (IR). IR was completely dependent upon nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ). In contrast to S. READ MORE

  5. 3. Recognition and signaling of DNA double-strand breaks in human cells

    Author : Ismail Hassan Ismail; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : DNA-PK; DNA double-strand break; DSB; DNA single-strand break; SSB; DNA damage; ionizing radiation; IR; DNA repair; calicheamicin kappa1; ATM; hydrogen peroxide; H2AX; radiotherapy; radiosensitizer; flow cytometry;

    Abstract : DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are the most toxic type of DNA damage. Fortunately, our cells have highly conserved pathways that detect and repair DSBs. Defects in DSB signaling and DSB repair pathways result in genomic instability that predisposes for cancer development. READ MORE

  6. 4. Radiation response in human cells : DNA damage formation, repair and signaling

    Author : Ann-Sofie Gustafsson; Bo Stenerlöw; Andrzej Wojcik; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; DNA damage; DNA repair; DSB; NHEJ; DNA-PK; ionizing radiation; heat-labile sites; Biomedical Radiation Science; Biomedicinsk strålningsvetenskap;

    Abstract : Ionizing radiation induces a range of different DNA lesions. In terms of mutation frequency and mammalian cell survival, the most critical of these lesions is the DNA double-strand break (DSB). DSB left unrepaired or mis-repaired may result in chromosomal aberrations that can lead to permanent genetic changes or cell death. READ MORE

  7. 5. Silencing and DNA double-strand break repair in budding yeast

    Author : Andreas Kegel; Stefan Åström; Stephan Marcand; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Silencing; Reb1; DSB; NHEJ; Nej1; illegitimate recombination; yeast; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi;

    Abstract : Transcriptional silencing that makes large chromosomal domains inaccessible for the transcriptional apparatus is nucleated at DNA elements called silencers. In K.lactis a 102bp HMLα silencer was defined revealing three distinct protein-binding regions (A, B, and C) that were required for silencing of HMLα. READ MORE
