Formation of adenovirus DNA replication compartments

P Hidalgo, RA Gonzalez - FEBS letters, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Adenoviruses induce an extensive reorganization of the host cell nucleus during replication.
Such a process results in the assembly of viral and cellular macromolecules into nuclear …

[HTML][HTML] PARP1-DNA co-condensation drives DNA repair site assembly to prevent disjunction of broken DNA ends

N Chappidi, T Quail, S Doll, LT Vogel, R Aleksandrov… - Cell, 2024 - cell.com
DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are repaired at DSB sites. How DSB sites assemble and
how broken DNA is prevented from separating is not understood. Here we uncover that the …

Multiscale reorganization of the genome following DNA damage facilitates chromosome translocations via nuclear actin polymerization

J Zagelbaum, A Schooley, J Zhao… - Nature structural & …, 2023 - nature.com
Nuclear actin-based movements have been shown to orchestrate clustering of DNA double-
strand breaks (DSBs) into homology-directed repair domains. Here we describe multiscale …

Interphase microtubules in nuclear organization and genome maintenance

M Shokrollahi, K Mekhail - Trends in Cell Biology, 2021 - cell.com
Microtubules are major cytoskeletal components mediating fundamental cellular processes,
including cell division. Recent evidence suggests that microtubules also regulate the …

Complex chromatin motions for DNA repair

J Miné-Hattab, I Chiolo - Frontiers in genetics, 2020 - frontiersin.org
A number of studies across different model systems revealed that chromatin undergoes
significant changes in dynamics in response to DNA damage. These include local motion …

The 3′ Pol II pausing at replication-dependent histone genes is regulated by Mediator through Cajal bodies' association with histone locus bodies

Non-polyadenylated mRNAs of replication-dependent histones (RDHs) are synthesized by
RNA polymerase II (Pol II) at histone locus bodies (HLBs). HLBs frequently associate with …

Mechanisms of insertions at a DNA double-strand break

J Min, J Zhao, J Zagelbaum, J Lee, S Takahashi… - Molecular cell, 2023 - cell.com
Insertions and deletions (indels) are common sources of structural variation, and insertions
originating from spontaneous DNA lesions are frequent in cancer. We developed a highly …
