Journal ArticleDOI
Homologous Recombination and Human Health: The Roles of BRCA1, BRCA2, and Associated Proteins
TL;DR: This review summarizes recent findings on BRCA1, BRCa2, and associated proteins involved in human disease with an emphasis on their molecular roles and interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Homology-Directed Repair and the Role of BRCA1, BRCA2, and Related Proteins in Genome Integrity and Cancer.
TL;DR: Mechanisms by which BRCA-deficient tumors acquire resistance to PARPi and other agents are discussed, given the recent advances with poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors for the treatment of HDR- deficient tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI
BRCA2 suppresses replication stress-induced mitotic and G1 abnormalities through homologous recombination
Weiran Feng,Maria Jasin +1 more
TL;DR: A DNA under replication-53BP1 nuclear body formation-G1 arrest axis is uncovered as an unanticipated outcome of homologous recombination deficiency, which triggers cell lethality and, it is proposed, serves as a barrier that must be overcome for tumor formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Homologous Recombination and Replication Fork Protection: BRCA2 and More!
Weiran Feng,Maria Jasin +1 more
TL;DR: Recent findings in the understanding of the roles of BRCA2 and other proteins in suppressing replication stress through homologous recombination and in the protection of stalled replication forks are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
CRISPR-Cas9-guided oncogenic chromosomal translocations with conditional fusion protein expression in human mesenchymal cells.
Fabio Vanoli,Mark J. Tomishima,Weiran Feng,Khadija Lamribet,Loelia Babin,Erika Brunet,Maria Jasin +6 more
TL;DR: A strategy combining CRISPR-Cas9 technology and homology-directed repair is presented to allow for the selection of human mesenchymal stem cells harboring the oncogenic translocation EWSR1–WT1 found in the aggressive desmoplastic small round cell tumor.
