Deficient DNA repair capacity is associated with genetic lesions accumulation and susceptibility to carcinogenesis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate various cellular pathways including DNA repair. Here we hypothesized that the existence of HBV products may interfere with ce...

The kinetics of DNA repair and RNA synthesis recovery in human cells following UV-irradiation were assessed using nascent RNA Bru-seq and quantitative long PCR. It was found that UV light inhibited transcription elongation and that recovery of RNA synthesis occurred as a wave in the 5’-3’ direction ...

Background: The ability of an organism to repair DNA damage is implicated in carcinogenesis and aging. Interestingly expression profiling of Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER) deficient segmental progeroid mice revealed gene expression changes resembling these observed in aged wild type animals. Our p...

Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a photosensitive, DNA repair disorder associated with progeria caused by a defect in the transcription-coupled repair (TCR) subpathway of nucleotide excision repair (NER). Here, complete inactivation of NER in Csbm/m/Xpa-/- mutants causes a phenotype that reliably mimics th...

Here we report our observations that have led us to propose that the transcription elongation factor NusA promotes a novel class of transcription-coupled repair (TCR) in addition to its previously proposed role in recruiting translesion synthesis (TLS) DNA polymerases to gaps encountered during tran...
ORGANISM(S): Escherichia coli 
Background: Repair of DNA damage requires chromatin remodeling to permit removal of the lesions. How nucleosomes are remodelled to initiate repair of DNA damage remains largely unknown. Here, we describe how chromatin is altered during repair of UV-induced DNA damage at the level of the linear organ...

The rates at which lesions are removed by DNA repair can vary widely throughout the genome with important implications for genomic stability. We measured the distribution of nucleotide excision repair (NER) rates for UV induced lesions throughout the yeast genome. By plotting these repair rates in r...

TFIIH is a 10-protein complex that is conserved throughout eukaryotes. TFIIH has two primary cellular functions: transcription initiation and nucleotide excision repair (NER). NER in eukaryotes begins by recognition of a bulky lesion by the obligate dimer Rad4-Rad23. This is followed closely by the ...

XPA is a central scaffold protein in nucleotide excision repair (NER) that interacts with and coordinates the assembly of repair complexes. Inactivating mutations in XPA causes Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP), which is characterized by extreme UV sensitivity and a highly elevated skin cancer risk. Here, ...

Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is the major DNA repair pathway that removes UV-induced and bulky DNA lesions. There is currently no structure of NER intermediates, which form around the large multisubunit transcription factor IIH (TFIIH). Here we report the cryo-EM structure of an NER intermediate...
