DNA polymerase theta (Pol-theta)-mediated end-joining (TMEJ) repairs DNA double-strand breaks and confers resistance to genotoxic agents. How Pol-theta is regulated at the molecular level to exert TMEJ remains unknown. We find that Pol-theta interacts with and is PARylated by PARP1 in vitro and in c...
ORGANISM(S): Homo Sapiens (ncbitaxon:9606) 
A comparison of global gene expression between rigorously defined stem and progenitor cells from patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) in chronic (CP), accelerated (AP) and blastic (BC) phase and similar populations isolated from normal volunteers. Cryopreserved CD34+ enriched cell populatio...

Chronic myeloid leukemia chronic phase (CML-CP) CD34(+) cells contain numerous DNA double-strand breaks whose unfaithful repair may contribute to chromosomal instability and disease progression to blast phase (CML-BP). These phenomena are often associated with the appearance of imatinib-resistant BC...
Myeloproliferative disorders (MPD) are stem cell-derived clonal diseases arising as a consequence of acquired aberrations in c-ABL, Janus-activated kinase 2 (JAK2), and platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) that generate oncogenic fusion tyrosine kinases (FTK), including BCR/ABL, TEL/ABL, ...
Mutations in the BCR/ABL kinase domain play a major role in resistance to imatinib mesylate (IM). We report here that BCR/ABL kinase stimulates reactive oxygen species (ROS), which causes oxidative DNA damage, resulting in mutations in the kinase domain. The majority of mutations involved A/T-->G/C ...
Nbs1, a member of the Mre11-RAD50-Nbs1 complex, is phosphorylated by ATM, the product of the ataxia-telangiectasia mutated gene and a member of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-related family of serine-threonine kinases, in response to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) to regulate DNA damage checkpoi...
DNA polymerase theta (Polθ, encoded by POLQ gene) plays an essential role in Polθ-mediated end-joining (TMEJ) of DNA double-strand breaks (DSB). Inhibition of Polθ is synthetic lethal in homologous recombination (HR)-deficient tumor cells. However, DSBs can be also repaired by PARP1 and RAD52-mediat...
