The kinetics of uracil-N-glycosylase distribution inside replication foci.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Institute of Molecular and Translational Medicine, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, Palacký University Olomouc, Olomouc, Czech Republic.

Mismatched nucleobase uracil is commonly repaired through the base excision repair initiated by DNA uracil glycosylases. The data presented in this study strongly indicate that the nuclear uracil-N-glycosylase activity and nuclear protein content in human cell lines is highest in the S phase of the cell cycle and that its distribution kinetics partially reflect the DNA replication activity in replication foci. In this respect, the data demonstrate structural changes of the replication focus related to the uracil-N-glycosylase distribution several dozens of minutes before end of its replication.

The use of plant extracts by cancer patients during chemotherapy poses potential risks, as they may reduce the effectiveness of treatment or interact negatively with chemotherapeutic drugs. There is a lack of comprehensive studies evaluating the effects of various Centaurea spp. plant extracts on chemotherapy outcomes, highlighting the need for caution and medical supervision.

PepGAT, a chitinase-derived peptide, alters the proteomic profile of colorectal cancer cells and perturbs pathways involved in cancer survival.

Int J Biol Macromol

Colorectal cancer (CRC) affects the population worldwide, occupying the first place in terms of death and incidence. Synthetic peptides (SPs) emerged as alternative molecules due to their activity and low toxicity. Proteomic analysis of PepGAT-treated HCT-116 cells revealed a decreased abundance of proteins involved in ROS metabolism and energetic metabolisms, cell cycle, DNA repair, migration, invasion, cancer aggressiveness, and proteins involved in resistance to 5-FU.

NEIL1: the second DNA glycosylase involved in action-at-a-distance mutations induced by 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine.

8-Oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (G, 8-hydroxyguanine), an oxidatively damaged base, induces mutations and is involved in cancer initiation. In addition to G:C→T:A transversions at the damaged site, it causes untargeted base substitution (action-at-a-distance) mutations at the G bases of 5'-GpA-3' sites in human cells. Paradoxically, OGG1, a DNA glycosylase involved in the base excision repair (BER) pathway, enhances the action-at-a-distance mutations by G.

The interplay between chromatin remodeling and DNA double-strand break repair: Implications for cancer biology and therapeutics.

DNA Repair (Amst)

January 2025

Department of Molecular Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN 55905, USA. Electronic address:

Proper chromatin remodeling is crucial for many cellular physiological processes, including the repair of DNA double-strand break (DSB). While the mechanism of DSB repair is well understood, the connection between chromatin remodeling and DSB repair remains incompletely elucidated. In this review, we aim to highlight recent studies demonstrating the close relationship between chromatin remodeling and DSB repair.
