THE FUNCTION OF MRN (MRE11-RAD50-NBS1) COMPLEX DURING WRN (WERNER) FACILITATED ATM (ATAXIA-TELANGIECTASIA MUTATED) ACTIVATION
… with replication fork collapse. Because the Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 (MRN) complex, a sensor of DSBs, is known to interact with WRN and ATM, we investigated whether the MRN complex mediates the WRN-dependent ATM pathway activation. In this study, we employed short-hairpin RNA to generate WRN- and …

Single-molecule studies reveal mechanisms of human DNA double-strand break repair
… pathways: the Ku70-Ku80 heterodimer (Ku) and the Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 complex (MRN), respectively. Ku encircles the DNA ends and recruits other factors, such the kinase DNA-PKcs, to bluntly ligate the ends back together. In contrast, MRN along with the long-range nuclease Exo1 and helicase BLM digests …

Mechanism of Mismatch Repair Induced Mutagenesis in Somatic Hypermutation
… In addition, I explore the role of the Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 complex in its contribution to A:T mutations in Ramos cells. Taken together, these studies demonstrate that conversion of classical DNA repair pathways into mutation-generating processes is driven by the unique environment of the V …

Widespread Phosphorylation of H2AX by Adenovirus Requires Viral Genome Replication and the E1B-55k or E4orf3 Proteins
… members of the sensor complex composed of Mre11/Rad50/NBS1 for degradation and relocalization, as well as targeting the effector protein DNA ligase IV. Despite inactivation of these cellular sensor and effector proteins, infection results in high levels of histone 2AX phosphorylation, or …

Characterization of a Novel 53BP1-Dependent Mechanism that Promotes Non-Homologous End Joining of Deprotected Telomeres by Increasing Chromatin Mobility
… fusions. We have examined the roles of the Mre11/Rad50/NBS1 (MRN) complex, H2AX, MDC1, and 53BP1 in the NHEJ of dysfunctional telomeres. We have demonstrated that among these factors, 53BP1 is required for the fusion of telomeres, whereas the MRN complex, H2AX, and MDC1 only stimulate the …

How is Ataxia-Telangiectasia Mutated Protein Kinase Activated?
… breaks in DNA. This damage is detected by the Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 (MRN) complex, which recruits ATM to the DNA. Upon activation, ATM phosphorylates a vast range of substrates, which triggers a multitude of downstream pathways such as DNA damage repair, cell cycle arrest, senescence and sometimes …

Distinct DNA Damage Signaling in the Brain Distinguishes ATLD, NBS, and ATR-Seckel Syndrome
… nervous system. Hypomorphic mutations in the Mre11/Rad50/NBS1 complex (MRN complex), which is required for efficient ATM activity, result in distinct syndromes. Ataxia-telangiectasia-like disease (ATLD) results from truncating mutations in Mre11 and presents with neurodegeneration similar to …
