Chromosomal instability (CIN) generates micronuclei-aberrant extranuclear structures that catalyze the acquisition of complex chromosomal rearrangements present in cancer. Micronuclei are characterized by persistent DNA damage and catastrophic nuclear envelope collapse, which exposes to cytoplasm. We found autophagic receptor p62/SQSTM1 modulates micronuclear stability, influencing chromosome fragmentation rearrangements. Mechanistically, proximity micronuclei mitochondria led...
Transcription termination pathways mitigate the detrimental consequences of unscheduled promiscuous initiation occurring at hundreds thousands genomic cis -regulatory elements. The Restrictor complex, composed Pol II-interacting protein WDR82 and RNA-binding ZC3H4, suppresses processive transcription extragenic sites in mammalian genomes. Restrictor-driven does not involve nascent RNA cleavage, its interplay with other machineries is unclear. Here we show that efficient Restrictor-controlled...
Abstract The histone demethylase LSD1 is over-expressed in hematological tumors and has emerged as a promising target for anticancer treatment, so that several inhibitors are under development testing, preclinical clinical settings. However, the complete understanding of their complex mechanism action still unreached. Here, we unraveled novel mode MC2580 DDP-38003, showing they can induce differentiation AML cells through downregulation chromatin protein GSE1. Analysis phenotypic effects...
