... of the nuclear alterations also contain autophagic proteins and type II DNA topoisomerases (TOP2A and TOP2B), or the nucleolar protein fibrillarin, implying they are also targets of nucleophagy. We propose that basal nucleophagy contributes to genome and nuclear stability, as well as in response to DNA damage...

... constrained by concerns of unequal nuclear expansion. Here, we demonstrate the conditions for isotropic expansion of the nucleus at a resolution equal to or better than 120–130 nm (pre-expansion). Using the DNA damage response proteins BRCA1, 53BP1 (also known as TP53BP1) and RAD51 as exemplars, we...

... the number of apoptotic cells. DNA damage responses rely on the efficiency of the DNA repair machinery to eliminate at least 50% of the DNA damage within the first 8-10 h post-UVBR irradiation ( Friedberg et al., 2005 ). Impairment of critical mediators facilitating DNA repair leads to the accumulation...

..., promoting the epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT); however, the underlying mechanisms are unknown. We found that silica, matrix stiffening or their combination triggered Ac-α-Tub downregulation in alveolar epithelial cells, followed by DNA damage and replication stress. α-TAT1 elevated Ac-α-Tub to limit...

However, their mechanism of recruitment is elusive. Here...

We will also consider both the biochemical and biophysical properties and restraints that are placed on these multifunctional motors, and how they link...

Stem cell proliferation and differentiation proceeded successfully in the amputated heads, leading to regeneration of missing tissues. Stem...

... depletion alters neither the apical localization of TnI or Bazooka, nor the basal localization of Dlg. Nevertheless, overexpressing PI3K prevents the defects seen upon TnI depletion. TnI loss-of-function disrupts cytoskeletal β-Catenin, E-Cadherin and γ-Tubulin, and causes an increase in DNA damage...

Evidence suggests that it also localizes to non-telomeric DNA damage sites. However, this recruitment...

Our data disclose a key role for dephosphorylation of PP1:NIPP1 substrates in setting the threshold for DNA repair, and indicate that activators of this phosphatase...

... joining (NHEJ), which relies on 53BP1. The balance between NHEJ and HR depends, in part, on whether 53BP1 predominates in binding to damage sites, where it protects the DNA ends from resection. The nucleoporin Nup153 has been implicated in the DNA damage response, attributed to a role in promoting nuclear...

This recruitment occurs in a β-catenin-dependent manner and requires nuclear actin polymerization. These findings provide mechanistic...

... tolerance to DNA damage. Here, we show that NIPBL is recruited to DNA damage throughout the cell cycle via independent mechanisms, influenced by type of damage. First, the heterochromatin protein HP1γ (also known as CBX3) recruits NIPBL to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) through the corresponding HP1...
