Catalytic activity of OGG1 is impaired by Zinc deficiency
DNA Repair (Amst). 2024 Feb;134:103628. doi: 10.1016/j.dnarep.2024.103628. Epub 2024 Jan 10.ABSTRACTOxidative stress-induced DNA base modifications, if unrepaired, can increase mutagenesis and genomic instability, ultimately leading to cell death. Cells predominantly use the base excision repair (BER) pathway to repair oxidatively-induced non-helix distorting lesions. BER is initiated by DNA glycosylases, such as 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (OGG1), which repairs oxidatively modified guanine bases, including 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) and ring-opened formamidopyrimidine lesions, 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamidopyri...

Ku80 is indispensable for repairing DNA double-strand breaks at highly methylated sites in human HCT116 cells
In this study, we used CRISPR to generate Ku80-/- human cells and arrested the cells in G1 phase to accumulate DSBs before conducting END-seq and Nanopore analysis. Our analysis revealed that DNA with high methylation level accumulates DSB hotspots in Ku80-/- human cells. Furthermore, we identified chromosome structural variants (SVs) using Nanopore sequencing and observed a higher number of SVs in Ku80-/- human cells. Based on our findings, we suggest that the high efficiency of Ku80 knockout in human HCT116 cells makes it a promising model for characterizing SVs in the context of 3D chromatin structure and studying the a...

Epub 2023 Dec 23.ABSTRACTFor over a decade, it has been known that yeast Sld2, Dpb11, GINS and Polε form the pre-loading complex (pre-LC), which is recruited to a CDC45-bound MCM2-7 complex by the Sld3/Sld7 heterodimer in a phospho-dependent manner. Whilst functional orthologs of Dbp11 (TOPBP1), Sld3 (TICRR) and Sld7 (MTBP) have been identified in metazoans, controversy has surrounded the identity of the Sld2 ortholog. It was originally proposed that the RECQ helicase, RECQL4, which is mutated in Rothmund-Thomson syndrome, represented the closest v...
