Chromosomal Instability (CIN) encompasses approximately 65 %-70 % of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, playing a pivotal role in tumor progression. However, controversies persist regarding the molecular characteristics and treatment strategies associated with these patients. Integrative colorectal cancer proteogenomic analysis identified DDX18 in colorectal cancer.

Unscheduled R-loops usually cause DNA damage and replication stress, and are therefore a major threat to genome stability. Several RNA processing factors, including the conserved THO complex and its associated RNA and DNA-RNA helicase UAP56, prevent R-loop accumulation in cells. Here, we investigate the function of ALYREF, an RNA export adapter associated with UAP56 and the THO complex, in R-loop regulation.

Dysregulated R-loop homeostasis leads to DNA replication stress and genomic instability, a major driver of cancer. However, the role of R-loops in melanoma development remains unclear. We established an R-loop scoring model based on a single-cell RNA sequencing dataset and evaluated the association between the R-loop score with the melanoma immune microenvironment and treatment response.

Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers modified a technique to analyze R-loops in Drosophila and discovered that unlike in mammals, high GC content isn't necessary for R-loop formation in these flies; instead, the presence of RNAPII is a key factor across different gene regions.
  • * The study found that alterations in Spt6 affect R-loop levels and gene expression, impacting developmental processes, while increasing rnh1 levels can mitigate issues like DNA damage and developmental defects, indicating a significant role of R-loops in regulating gene activity and genome stability.

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) represent a lethal form of DNA damage that can trigger cell death or initiate oncogenesis. The activity of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) at the break site is required for efficient DSB repair. However, the regulatory mechanisms governing the transcription cycle at DSBs are not well understood.
