Article Abstract
A potentially lethal form of DNA/RNA modification, a cleavage complex, occurs when a nucleic acid-processing enzyme that acts via a transient covalent intermediate becomes trapped at its site of action. A number of overlapping pathways act to repair these lesions and many of the enzymes involved are those that catalyze recombinational-repair processes. A protein, Tdp1, has been identified that reverses cleavage-complex formation by specifically hydrolyzing a tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiester bond. The study of these pathways is both interesting and pertinent as they modulate the effectiveness of many antitumor/antibacterial drugs that act by stabilizing cleavage-complexes in vivo.

Berberine (BBR) is an isoquinoline alkaloid with a variety of biological activities, including anti-microbial and anti-tumoral activities. However, the cellular targets of BBR and the roles of BBR in the radiosensitivity of breast cancer cells are not well defined. In this study, we investigated the effects of BBR on the radiosensitivity of BT549 triple-negative breast cancer cells.

Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) poses significant challenges in reproductive health, with emerging evidence implicating DNA damage repair pathways. While GADD45A is a critical regulator of DNA repair, cell cycle and apoptosis, its role in DOR pathogenesis remains unexplored. We employed transcriptome sequencing, qPCR and Western Blot analyses to compare GADD45A expression in granulosa cells (GCs) between DOR patients and controls.

Baculovirus biopesticides are highly susceptible to inactivation by ultraviolet (UV) radiation in sunlight. At present, the DNA repair mechanism in most baculoviruses after ultraviolet (UV) radiation is still unclear. Our previous research found that Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus Bm65 was a very important UV-specific endonuclease, and the knockout of Bm65 gene increased the sensitivity of BmNPV to UV radiation.

Background: A DNA barcode is a short DNA fragment used to classify and identify specific organisms, taking advantage of the specificity and diversity inherent in biological molecules. Since Herbert introduced the concept in 2003, DNA barcoding has been increasingly used in precision medicine and related fields, including species identification and environmental monitoring, over the past few decades. Although numerous molecular diagnostic techniques have emerged, many face notable obstacles such as sensitivity to handling conditions, high expenses, and limitations in accuracy.
