Transcription-blocking DNA lesions are specifically targeted by transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER), which removes a broad spectrum of DNA lesions to preserve transcriptional output and thereby cellular homeostasis to counteract aging. TC-NER is initiated by the stalling of RNA...
Transcription–blocking lesions are specifically targeted by transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER), which removes a broad spectrum of DNA lesions to preserve transcriptional output and thereby cellular homeostasis to counteract aging. TC-NER is initiated by the physical stalling o...
Transcription-coupled DNA repair (TCR) removes transcription-blocking DNA lesions through the coordinated assembly of repair factors on arrested RNA polymerase II (Pol II). This process requires the site-specific ubiquitylation of Pol II by the CRL4CSA ubiquitin ligase. Pol II ubiquitylation is faci...

Removal of transcription-blocking DNA lesions requires the binding of transcription-coupled repair (TCR) factors to DNA damage-stalled RNA polymerase II (RNAPII). The full repertoire of factors required for TCR remains to be elucidated. Through genome-wide CRISPR screens and strand-specific ChIP-seq...
DNA damage forms a major obstacle for gene transcription by RNA polymerase II (Pol II). Transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) efficiently eliminates transcription-blocking lesions (TBLs), thereby safeguarding accurate transcription, preserving correct cellular function and counte...
