Abstract Background Genomic instability promotes evolution and heterogeneity of tumors. Unraveling its mechanistic basis is essential for the design appropriate therapeutic strategies. In a previous study, we reported an unexpected oncogenic property p21 WAF1/Cip1 , showing that chronic expression in p53-deficient environment causes genomic by deregulation replication licensing machinery. Results We now demonstrate can further fuel suppressing repair capacity low- high-fidelity pathways deal...

Abstract Cells cope with replication-blocking lesions via translesion DNA synthesis (TLS). TLS is carried out by low-fidelity polymerases that replicate across lesions, thereby preventing genome instability at the cost of increased point mutations. Here we perform a two-stage siRNA-based functional screen for mammalian genes and identify 17 validated genes. One genes, NPM1 , frequently mutated in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). We show (nucleophosmin) regulates interaction catalytic core...

TENT4A (PAPD7) is a non-canonical poly(A) polymerase, of which little known. Here, we show that regulates multiple biological pathways and focuses on its multilayer regulation translesion DNA synthesis (TLS), in error-prone polymerases bypass unrepaired lesions. We mRNA stability and/or translation polymerase η RAD18 E3 ligase, guides the to replication stalling sites monoubiquitinates PCNA, thereby enabling recruitment damaged sites. Remarkably, addition effect via controlling tail,...

In a recent study we reported an unexpected oncogenic property p21 WAF1/Cip1 showing that chronic expression, in p53-deficient environment, causes genomic by deregulating the replication licensing machinery.
