Evolution of the triplet BRCT domain
DNA Repair (Amst). 2023 Jul 6;129:103532. doi: 10.1016/j.dnarep.2023.103532. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOrganisms have evolved a complex system, called the DNA damage response (DDR), which maintains genome integrity. The DDR is responsible for identifying and repairing a variety of lesions and alterations in DNA. DDR proteins coordinate DNA damage detection, cell cycle arrest, and repair, with many of these events regulated by protein phosphorylation. In the human proteome, 23 proteins contain the BRCT (BRCA1 C-Terminus domain) domain, a modular signaling domain that can bind phosphopeptides and mediate protein-protein ...

This is achieved by a number of DNA repair systems that each involve different protein factors and employ versatile strategies to target different types of DNA lesions. Intriguingly, specialized DNA repair proteins have also evolved to form non-functional complexes with their target lesions. ...

Clinical evidence for a role of E2F1-induced replication stress in modulating tumor mutational burden and immune microenvironment
DNA Repair (Amst). 2023 Jun 30;129:103531. doi: 10.1016/j.dnarep.2023.103531. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDNA replication stress (RS) is frequently induced by oncogene activation and is believed to promote tumorigenesis. However, clinical evidence for the role of oncogene-induced RS in tumorigenesis remains scarce, and the mechanisms by which RS promotes cancer development remain incompletely understood. By performing a series of bioinformatic analyses on the oncogene E2F1, other RS-inducing factors, and replication fork processing factors in TCGA cancer database using previously established tools, we show that hyperacti...

Frailty, sex, and poverty are associated with DNA damage and repair in frail, middle-aged urban adults
DNA Repair (Amst). 2023 Jun 29;129:103530. doi: 10.1016/j.dnarep.2023.103530. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFrailty is an age-related syndrome characterized by reduced recovery from stressors and increased risks of morbidity and mortality. Although frailty is usually studied in those over 65 years, our previous work showed that frailty is both present and a risk factor for premature mortality in midlife. We identified altered gene expression patterns and biological pathways associated with inflammation in frailty. Evidence suggests DNA oxidation damage related to inflammation accumulates with age, and that DNA repair capac...
