Carnie C, Acampora A, Bader A, Erdenebat C, Zhao S, Bitensky E, et al.
Nat Cell Biol . 2024 Apr; 26(5):797-810. PMID: 38600235
Covalent DNA-protein cross-links (DPCs) are toxic DNA lesions that block replication and require repair by multiple pathways. Whether transcription blockage contributes to the toxicity of DPCs and how cells respond...

Simpson M, Lam C, Goodman J, Balasubramanian S
Angew Chem Weinheim Bergstr Ger . 2024 Mar; 135(26):e202304756. PMID: 38516645
The epigenetic modification 5-methylcytosine plays a vital role in development, cell specific gene expression and disease states. The selective chemical modification of the 5-methylcytosine methyl group is challenging. Currently, no...

Esain-Garcia I, Kirchner A, Melidis L, Araujo Tavares R, Dhir S, Simeone A, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2024 Feb; 121(7):e2320240121. PMID: 38315865
DNA structure can regulate genome function. Four-stranded DNA G-quadruplex (G4) structures have been implicated in transcriptional regulation; however, previous studies have not directly addressed the role of an individual G4...

EMBO J . 2023 Jul; 42(18):e113190. PMID: 37492888
DNA single-strand breaks (SSBs) disrupt DNA replication and induce chromosome breakage. However, whether SSBs induce chromosome breakage when present behind replication forks or ahead of replication forks is unclear. To...
