ATR Prohibits Replication Catastrophe by Preventing Global Exhaustion of RPA

TL;DR: ATR-mediated suppression of dormant origins shields active forks against irreversible breakage via preventing exhaustion of nuclear RPA, elucidates how replicating genomes avoid destabilizing DNA damage and provides a molecular rationale for their hypersensitivity to ATR inhibitors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Liquid demixing of intrinsically disordered proteins is seeded by poly(ADP-ribose).

TL;DR: In vitro and in vivo, it is shown that the nucleic acid-mimicking biopolymer poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) nucleates intracellular liquid demixing, which is a general mechanism to dynamically reorganize the soluble nuclear space with implications for pathological protein aggregation caused by derailed phase separation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Complete genome sequence of the myxobacterium Sorangium cellulosum

TL;DR: The complete genome sequence of the model Sorangium strain S. cellulosum So ce56 is reported, which produces several natural products and has morphological and physiological properties typical of the genus, and the circular genome is the largest bacterial genome sequenced to date.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular mechanism of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation by PARP1 and identification of lysine residues as ADP-ribose acceptor sites

TL;DR: It is shown that glutamic acid residues in the auto-modification domain of PARP1 are not required for PAR formation and individual lysine residues as acceptor sites for ADP-ribosylation, which provides novel mechanistic insights into PAR synthesis with significant relevance for the different biological functions ofPARP family members.
