本研究针对胶质母细胞瘤(GBM)如何维持R-loop稳态以平衡转录需求与基因组稳定性这一关键问题,揭示了THOC1通过与SIN3A组蛋白去乙酰化复合物相互作用,特异性调控端粒区R-loop水平的新机制。研究人员发现靶向THOC1可破坏端粒稳定性,显著抑制GBM进展,为这一难治 ...
A research team at The University of Osaka revealed that the loss of heterochromatin can cause a chain reaction leading to ...
This new review article highlights the pivotal and paradoxical role of R-loops in maintaining genomic stability while simultaneously posing risks to it. These three-stranded nucleic acid structures, ...
Image Caption: The factors contributing to R-loop formation. Several factors contribute to R-loop formation, including RNA components, specific DNA structures, histone and RNA modifications, ...
Kyle Miller and his team discovered a potential new target for drug therapies: structures in our DNA called R-loops. A human cancer cell that overexpresses the enzyme APOBEC3B (left) has fewer R-loops ...
New research reveals how the RapA enzyme protects against R-loop cytotoxicity in E. coli. Genetically speaking, it's a bacterium's worst-case scenario: during transcription, newly minted RNA sticks to ...
