Abstract RNA-guided nucleases (RGNs) based on CRISPR systems permit installing short and large edits within eukaryotic genomes. However, precise genome editing is often hindered due to nuclease off-target activities the multiple-copy character of vast majority chromosomal sequences. Dual nicking RGNs high-specificity both exhibit low activities. Here, we report that Cas9 are convertible into Cas9D10A variants whose precision superior commonly used nickase. a selected group these can yield...
Significance Alternative end joining (A-EJ) is implicated in oncogenic translocations and mediating DNA double-strand-break (DSB) repair cycling cells when classical nonhomologous end-joining (C-NHEJ) factors of the C-NHEJ ligase complex are absent. However, V(D)J recombination-associated DSBs that occur G1 cell cycle-phase progenitor lymphocytes joined exclusively by pathway. Until now, however, overall mechanisms join general G1-phase B had not been fully elucidated. Here, we report Ku, a...
Blood cell production relies on the coordinated activities of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and multipotent lineage-restricted progenitors. Here, we identify Notchless (Nle) as a critical factor for HSC maintenance under both homeostatic cytopenic conditions. Nle deficiency leads to rapid drastic exhaustion HSCs immature progenitors failure maintain quiescence in HSCs. In contrast, is dispensable cycling-restricted differentiated cells. yeast, Nle/Rsa4 essential ribosome biogenesis, show...
The contribution of basal cellular processes to the regulation tissue homeostasis has just started be appreciated. However, our knowledge modulation ribosome biogenesis activity in situ within specific lineages remains very limited. This is largely due lack assays that enable quantitation small numbers cells vivo. We used a technique, named Flow-FISH, combining cell surface antibody staining and flow cytometry with intracellular ribosomal RNA (rRNA) FISH, measure levels pre-rRNAs...
ABSTRACT Cell fate decisions occur through the action of multiple factors, including signalling molecules and transcription factors. Recently, regulation translation has emerged as an important step for modulating cellular function fate, exemplified by ribosomes that play distinct roles in regulating cell behaviour. Notchless (Nle) is a conserved nuclear protein involved crucial ribosome biogenesis, required maintenance adult haematopoietic intestinal stem/progenitor cells. Here, we show...
The molecular and cellular mechanisms driving the enhanced therapeutic ratio of ultra-high dose-rate radiotherapy (FLASH-RT) over slower conventional (CONV-RT) remain to be elucidated. However, attenuated DNA damage transient oxygen depletion are among several proposed models. Here, we tested whether FLASH-RT under physioxic (4% O 2 ) hypoxic conditions (≤2% reduces genome-wide translocations relative CONV-RT any differences identified revert normoxic (21% conditions. We employed...
Stem cells located at the apex of cellular hierarchies are responsible for maintaining intestine and colon epithelium. Similarly, that express stem cell markers have been identified in colorectal cancer, where they proposed to support growth relapse tumor.1,2 However, recently, distinct from cancer found contribute tumor distant metastasis.3,4 It is consequently pertinent understand how specific drivers, such as loss adenomatous polyposis coli (APC), affect behavior responses differentiation.
Abstract G0/G1-phase alternative end joining (A-EJ) is a recently defined mutagenic pathway characterized by resected deletion and translocation joints that are predominantly direct distinguished from A-EJ in cycling cells which rely much more on microhomology-mediated (MMEJ). Using chemical genetic approaches, we systematically evaluate potential factors DNA damage response (DDR) genes to support this mechanism mapping the repair fates of RAG1/2-initiated DSBs context Igκ locus V-J...

Abstract Classical nonhomologous end-joining (C-NHEJ) repairs DNA double-stranded breaks (DSBs) throughout interphase but predominates in G1-phase when homologous recombination is unavailable. Complexes containing the Ku70/80 (“Ku”) and XRCC4/Ligase IV (Lig4) core C-NHEJ factors are required, respectively, for sensing joining DSBs. While absolutely required RAG1/2-endonucease (“RAG”)-initiated DSBs during V(D)J progenitor lymphocytes, cycling cells deficient also can join chromosomal by...
