Nearby inverted repeats fuse to generate acentric and dicentric palindromic chromosomes by a replication template exchange mechanism.
Gene amplification plays important roles in the progression of cancer and contributes to acquired drug resistance during treatment. Amplification can initiate via dicentric palindromic chromosome production and subsequent breakage-fusion-bridge cycles. Here we show that, in fission yeast, acentric and dicentric palindromic chromosomes form by homologous recombination protein-dependent fusion of...
متن کاملThe role of replication bypass pathways in dicentric chromosome formation in budding yeast.
Gross chromosomal rearrangements (GCRs) are large scale changes to chromosome structure and can lead to human disease. We previously showed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae that nearby inverted repeat sequences (∼20-200 bp of homology, separated by ∼1-5 kb) frequently fuse to form unstable dicentric and acentric chromosomes. Here we analyzed inverted repeat fusion in mutants of three sets of genes. ...
متن کاملReplication-Dependent Mechanism of Chromosome Fragility at the Site of Inverted Repeats in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Genome instability is linked to cancer and many hereditary diseases. Chromosomal aberrations are often associated with repeats that can adopt DNA secondary structures. Studying the mechanism of genome instability caused by unstable motifs will therefore contribute to our understanding of the origin of human pathology. In this study, we investigate the mechanism underlying inverted repeated asso...
متن کاملUnprecedented large inverted repeats at the replication terminus of circular bacterial chromosomes suggest a novel mode of chromosome rescue
The first Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus genome sequence revealed the presence of a very large inverted repeat (IR), a DNA sequence arrangement which thus far seemed inconceivable in a non-manipulated circular bacterial chromosome, at the replication terminus. This intriguing observation prompted us to investigate if similar IRs could be found in other bacteria. IRs with sizes varyin...
متن کاملConservation of Palindromic and Mirror Motifs within Inverted Terminal Repeats of mariner-like Elements.
The transposase of the mariner-like elements (MLEs) specifically binds as a dimer to the inverted terminal repeat of the transposon that encodes it. Two binding-motifs located within the inverted terminal sequences (ITR) are therefore recognized, as previously indicated, by biochemical data obtained with the Mos1 and Himar1 transposases. Here, we define the motifs that are involved in the bindi...
