UHRF1 is a sensor for DNA interstrand crosslinks
The human genome is guarded against mutations by several DNA repair pathways. Common for all pathways, is the initiating event of detecting the DNA damage. This initial event is followed by the coordinated recruitment of various other DNA repair proteins needed for the repair. For instance, the MSH2/MSH6 complex detects DNA mismatches, while the MRN or KU70/KU80 complexes detect double strand b...
متن کاملUHRF1 Is a Sensor for DNA Interstrand Crosslinks and Recruits FANCD2 to Initiate the Fanconi Anemia Pathway
The Fanconi anemia (FA) pathway is critical for the cellular response to toxic DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs). Using a biochemical purification strategy, we identified UHRF1 as a protein that specifically interacts with ICLs in vitro and in vivo. Reduction of cellular levels of UHRF1 by RNAi attenuates the FA pathway and sensitizes cells to mitomycin C. Knockdown cells display a drastic redu...
متن کاملThermal stability of DNA with interstrand crosslinks.
Although many anticancer drugs exert their biological activity by forming DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs), the thermodynamics of biologically relevant long crosslinked DNAs has not been intensively studied in contrast to short duplexes. Here, we carry out computer modeling of the shift of melting temperature of long DNAs caused by ICLs taking into account crosslinking effect in itself and con...
متن کاملDNA Interstrand Crosslinks Repair in Mammalian Cells
We studied the formation of double strand breaks (DSBs) as intermediates in the repair of DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) by homologous recombination (HR). The plasmid EGFP-N1 was crosslinked with trioxsalen to give one ICL per plasmid on average. HeLa cells were transfected with the crosslinked plasmids and the ICL repair was monitored by following the restoration of the GFP expression. It w...
متن کاملNEIL1 responds and binds to psoralen-induced DNA interstrand crosslinks.
Recent evidence suggests a role for base excision repair (BER) proteins in the response to DNA interstrand crosslinks, which block replication and transcription, and lead to cell death and genetic instability. Employing fluorescently tagged fusion proteins and laser microirradiation coupled with confocal microscopy, we observed that the endonuclease VIII-like DNA glycosylase, NEIL1, accumulates...
