How DNA repair processes, and DNA double-strand break repair in particular, are regulated during the cell cycle to optimize genomic integrity is reviewed.
Abstract
The correct duplication and transmission of genetic material to daughter cells is the primary objective of the cell division cycle. DNA replication and chromosome segregation present both challenges and opportunities for DNA repair pathways that safeguard genetic information. As a consequence, there is a profound, two-way connection between DNA repair and cell cycle control. Here, we review how DNA repair processes, and DNA double-strand break repair in particular, are regulated during the cell cycle to optimize genomic integrity.

ATM, ATR, and DNA-PK: The Trinity at the Heart of the DNA Damage Response.

TL;DR: A historical perspective of their discovery is provided and their established functions in sensing and responding to genotoxic stress are discussed, as well as emerging non-canonical roles and how knowledge of ATM, ATR, and DNA-PK is being translated to benefit human health.

CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing induces a p53-mediated DNA damage response.

TL;DR: It is reported that genome editing by CRISPR–Cas9 induces a p53-mediated DNA damage response and cell cycle arrest in immortalized human retinal pigment epithelial cells, leading to a selection against cells with a functional p53 pathway, suggesting that p53 inhibition may improve the efficiency of genome editing of untransformed cells.

DNA Repair Network Analysis Reveals Shieldin as a Key Regulator of NHEJ and PARP Inhibitor Sensitivity

TL;DR: This work generated high-resolution interaction neighborhood maps of the endogenously expressed DNA repair factors 53BP1, BRCA1, and MDC1 and identified a novel vertebrate-specific protein complex, shieldin, comprising REV7 plus three previously uncharacterized proteins, RINN1 (CTC-534A2.2), RINn2 (FAM35A), and RinN3 (C20ORF196).

The Mechanism of Double-Strand DNA Break Repair by the Nonhomologous DNA End-Joining Pathway

TL;DR: Patients lacking normal NHEJ are not only sensitive to ionizing radiation (IR), but also severely immunodeficient in the range of DNA end substrate configurations upon which they can act.

Megabase chromatin domains involved in DNA double-strand breaks in vivo.

TL;DR: The results offer direct visual confirmation that γ-H2AX forms en masse at chromosomal sites of DNA double-strand breaks and suggest the possible existence of units of higher order chromatin structure involved in monitoring DNA integrity.

Causes and consequences of replication stress.

TL;DR: In this paper, the kinase ATR (ATM- and Rad3-related) stabilizes and helps to restart stalled replication forks, avoiding the generation of DNA damage and genome instability.

53BP1 Inhibits Homologous Recombination in Brca1-Deficient Cells by Blocking Resection of DNA Breaks

TL;DR: It is shown that DNA breaks in Brca1-deficient cells are aberrantly joined into complex chromosome rearrangements by a process dependent on the nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) factors 53BP1 and DNA ligase 4, illustrating that HR and NHEJ compete to process DNA breaks that arise during DNA replication.
