PARP inhibitors (PARPi) show selective efficacy in tumors with homologous recombination repair (HRR)-defects but the activation mechanism of HRR pathway in PARPi-treated cells remains enigmatic. To unveil it, we searched for the mediator bridging PARP1 to ATM pathways by screening 211 human ubiquitin-related proteins. We discovered TRIM44 as a crucial mediator that recruits the MRN complex to damaged chromatin, independent of PARP1 activity. TRIM44 binds PARP1 and regulates the ubiquitination-PARylation balance of PARP1, which facilitates timely recruitment of the MRN complex for DSB repair. Upon exposure to PARPi, TRIM44 shifts its binding from PARP1 to the MRN complex via its ZnF UBP domain. Knockdown of TRIM44 in cells significantly enhances the sensitivity to olaparib and overcomes the resistance to olaparib induced by 53BP1 deficiency. These observations emphasize the central role of TRIM44 in tethering PARP1 to the ATM-mediated repair pathway. Suppression of TRIM44 may enhance PARPi effectiveness and broaden their use even to HR-proficient tumors.

Background/aim: Karyopherin alpha 2 (KPNA2) has been reported to be associated with cancer aggressiveness and treatment resistance via transporting several cargo proteins into the nucleus, such as cancer-promoting E2F and DNA repair-related MRN complex. Recent studies have highlighted the KPNA2 functions in tumorigenesis and the progression of various cancers. However, the importance of KPNA2 expression has yet to be elucidated in clinical neuroblastoma patients.

Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection can significantly increase the incidence of cirrhosis and liver cancer, and there is no curative treatment. The persistence of HBV covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) is the major obstacle of antiviral treatments. cccDNA is formed through repairing viral partially double-stranded relaxed circular DNA (rcDNA) by varies host factors.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common peripheral nerve entrapment disorder that is diagnosed using clinical signs and symptoms and confirmed via nerve conduction studies (NCSs). While NCS is a semi-invasive procedure, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that detects macroscopic nerve abnormalities and evaluates a patient's surgical or medication treatment options. This study assessed magnetic resonance neurography (MRN)'s diagnostic and grading value by comparing it to electrodiagnostic studies in patients with CTS and healthy individuals.

Various DNA damage checkpoint control mechanisms in eukaryotic cells help maintain genomic integrity. Among these, NBS1, a key component of the MRE11-RAD50-NBS1 (MRN) complex, is an essential protein involved in the DNA damage response (DDR). In this study, we discovered that DNA damage-binding protein 1 (DDB1) interacts with NBS1.

Approximately 10-15% of human cancers are telomerase-negative and maintain their telomeres through a recombination-based process known as the alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) pathway. Loss of the alpha-thalassemia/mental retardation, X-linked (ATRX) chromatin remodeller is a common event in ALT-positive cancers, but is generally insufficient to drive ALT induction in isolation. We previously demonstrated that ATRX binds to the MRN complex, which is also known to be important in the ALT pathway, but the molecular basis of this interaction remained elusive.
