THE FUNCTION OF MRN (MRE11-RAD50-NBS1) COMPLEX DURING WRN (WERNER) FACILITATED ATM (ATAXIA-TELANGIECTASIA MUTATED) ACTIVATION
… 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 …

… lethal type of DNA damage. The conserved Mre11-Rad50 DNA repair complex enables the catalytic activities of the Mre11 nuclease and the Rad50 ATPase to function together to coordinate the recognition and processing of DSBs prior to the recruitment of long-range end-resection machinery required to …

RAD51-MEDIATED ABASIC SITES PROTECTION PREVENTS REPLICATION FORK COLLAPSE.
… forks onto which RAD51 binds preventing MRE11-RAD50 nuclease-mediated AP site cleavage. Additionally, our results demonstrate that Polymerase Theta (θ) is involved in filling in AP sites over genomic DNA regions containing ssDNA gaps, thereby suppressing MRE11-RAD50 nuclease-dependent fork …

Molecular and Genetic Analysis of the Role of Ku in Silencing and Telomere Function in Saccharomyces Cerevisiae
… telomere length regulation (YKU70, BDF1, ANC1, RAD50, TEL1, RAD52). Double mutant analysis revealed functional relationships between genes by generating a network of 241 synthetic interactions between 144 genes at 30°C and a network of 355 synthetic lethal interactions between 146 genes at …

Mechanisms of Palindrome-Mediated Chromosomal Instability
… and these hairpins are cleaved by the Mre11/Rad50/Xrs2/Sae2 complex. In contrast, palindromic sequences with spacers longer than 8 bp are not cleaved by MRX/Sae2 and do not block replication fork progression. I show that these effects are mediated by single stranded DNA binding protein RPA, …

The interaction of CtIP with DNA damage response proteins
… sensor proteins such as the MRN complex (Mre11, Rad50 and NBS1) and RPA70, signal transducer proteins such as the PIKK kinases ATM, ATR and SMG1 and the mediator proteins 53BP1 and MDC1. All of those proteins are involved in detecting and repairing double stranded or single stranded lesions. …

Single-molecule studies reveal mechanisms of human DNA double-strand break repair
… 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 the …

Prediction and Investigation of Novel Proteins in DNA Double Stranded Break Repair
… initiates and stabilizes the DNA ends, Mre11/Rad50/Xrs2 brings broken ends to close proximity and Dnl4/Lif1/Nej1 ligates the DNA ends. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) has been utilized in functional genomics studies to identify novel proteins involved in different pathways based on their PPI …

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 region …

Alteration of differentiation and growth of normal human epidermal keratinocytes by benzo[a]pyrene and arsenic
… These genes include; MAX binding protein, RAD50, retinoblastoma-1, retinoblastoma-binding protein-1, and transforming growth factor β-stimulated protein. Gene expression results suggest that BaP and arsenic target different steps in the pathways to growth and differentiation in this cell …

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 γH2AX. …

Identification of Intracellular Signaling Pathways Regulated by the TAO Family of Mammalian STE20p Kinases
… ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) and ATM and Rad50-related (ATR) DNA damage kinases, as activation of TAO2 is diminished in cells from a patient with AT, which do not express ATM. These findings show that TAO kinases regulate critical events in cell-cycle arrest by DNA damage by acting as …

Distinct DNA Damage Signaling in the Brain Distinguishes ATLD, NBS, and ATR-Seckel Syndrome
… 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 that …
