The replication bypass model for sister chromatid exchange (SCE) proposed by Shafer is examined in detail. When applied through two cell cycles, the model predicts that potentially observable SCEs induced during one S phase will then be cancelled and rendered undetectable during the subsequent S phase. This aspect of replication bypass is inconsistent with the observation of twin SCEs in tetraploid cells. Furthermore, the model cannot account for the efficient induction of SCEs by non-cross-linking chemical agents.

Unlabelled: Peptidoglycan (PG) is an important bacterial macromolecule that confers cell shape and structural integrity, and is a key antibiotic target. Its synthesis and turnover are carefully coordinated with other cellular processes and pathways. Despite established connections between the biosynthesis of PG and the outer membrane, or PG and DNA replication, links between PG and folate metabolism remain comparatively unexplored.

Parent Artery Occlusion (PAO) is a valid treatment choice in giant internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysms of the cavernous segment when the preoperative balloon test occlusion (BTO) demonstrates an adequate cross circulation from the contralateral side. A high flow arterial bypass is, however, mandatory if the result suggests otherwise or is indeterminate. We present here a case of a 72-year lady where the BTO results were inconclusive.

Background: α thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome X-linked (ATRX) serves as a part of the sucrose nonfermenting 2 (SNF2) chromatin-remodeling complex. In interphase, ATRX localizes to pericentromeric heterochromatin, contributing to DNA double-strand break repair, DNA replication, and telomere maintenance. During mitosis, most ATRX proteins are removed from chromosomal arms, leaving a pool near the centromere region in mammalian cells, which is critical for accurate chromosome congression and sister chromatid cohesion protection.

The apurinic/apyrimidinic site (AP site) is a highly mutagenic and cytotoxic DNA lesion. Normally, AP sites are removed from DNA by base excision repair (BER). Methoxyamine (MOX), a BER inhibitor currently under clinical trials as a tumor sensitizer, forms adducts with AP sites (AP-MOX) resistant to the key BER enzyme, AP endonuclease.

Homologous recombination (HR) is important for DNA damage tolerance during replication. The yeast Shu complex, a conserved homologous recombination factor, prevents replication-associated mutagenesis. Here we examine how yeast cells require the Shu complex for coping with MMS-induced lesions during DNA replication.
