TLDR
Recent advances in understanding of how these factors mediate checkpoint responses and act in the HR repair process are discussed, including potential functional similarities with the BRCA2 tumour suppressor and links between RAD51 paralog deficiencies and tumorigenesis triggered by genome instability.

RAD51B in Familial Breast Cancer

Liisa M. Pelttari, +115 more
- 05 May 2016 - 
TL;DR: It is suggested that loss-of-function mutations in RAD 51B are rare, but common variation at the RAD51B region is significantly associated with familial breast cancer risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rad51-mediated replication fork reversal is a global response to genotoxic treatments in human cells

TL;DR: Genotoxic treatments in human cells consistently induce uncoupling of replication forks and their remodeling into four-way junctions by the RAD51 recombinase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nuclear PTEN controls DNA repair and sensitivity to genotoxic stress

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that SUMOylation (SUMO, small ubiquitin-like modifier) of PTEN controls its nuclear localization and may have implications for individualized therapy for patients with PTEN-deficient tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of HPV and host genome interactions in primary head and neck cancers.

Michael Parfenov, +314 more
TL;DR: A cohort of 279 head and neck cancers with next generation RNA and DNA sequencing is profiled to provide insight into the mechanisms by which HPV interacts with the human genome beyond expression of viral oncoproteins and suggest that specific integration events are an integral component of viraloncogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer: new genes in confined pathways

TL;DR: HBOC genes are examined, focusing on their role in genome maintenance, the possibilities for functional testing of putative causal variants and the clinical application of new HBOC genes in cancer risk management and treatment decision-making.

The DNA-damage response in human biology and disease

TL;DR: The authors' improving understanding of DNA-damage responses is providing new avenues for disease management, and these responses are biologically significant because they prevent diverse human diseases.

The DNA Damage Response: Making It Safe to Play with Knives

TL;DR: This review will focus on how the DDR controls DNA repair and the phenotypic consequences of defects in these critical regulatory functions in mammals.

How Shelterin Protects Mammalian Telomeres

TL;DR: Recent experiments have revealed how shelterin represses the ATM and ATR kinase signaling pathways and hides chromosome ends from nonhomologous end joining and homology-directed repair.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanism of eukaryotic homologous recombination.

TL;DR: HR accessory factors that facilitate other stages of the Rad51- and Dmc1-catalyzed homologous DNA pairing and strand exchange reaction have also been identified.

Human CtIP promotes DNA end resection

TL;DR: These findings establish evolutionarily conserved roles for CtIP-like proteins in controlling DSB resection, checkpoint signalling and homologous recombination.
