Article Abstract
DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are highly deleterious lesions and their misrepair can promote genomic instability, a hallmark of cancer. DNA-end resection is a cell cycle-regulated mechanism that is required for the faithful repair of DSBs. We recently discovered that the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome-Cdh1 (APC/C(Cdh1)) ubiquitin ligase is responsible for the timely degradation of CtBP-interacting protein (CtIP), a key DNA-end resection factor, providing a new layer of regulation of DSB repair in human cells.

The ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) kinase orchestrates the early stages of DNA double-strand break repair by promoting hyperphosphorylation of CtIP, a key step in the initiation of DNA end resection. However, the regulatory mechanisms controlling resection extent remain incompletely understood. Here we identify ERCC6L2 as a key regulator of DNA end resection in response to ATM inhibition.

To develop a curative approach, we established a high-efficiency genome editing platform for human and murine hematopoietic stem-progenitor cells using CRISPR/Cas9, recombinant adeno-associated virus serotype 6. To enhance homology-directed DNA repair while minimizing genotoxicity, we incorporated a new 53BP1 inhibitor, a ubiquitin variant that promotes DNA end resection and significantly increases editing efficiency.

Meiosis generates reproductive cells with a reduced genome complement, with most species using homologous recombination to promote accurate meiotic chromosome segregation and to generate genetic diversity among offspring. A critical step in homologous recombination is DNA end resection, in which DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are processed by nucleases to yield the 3' single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) needed for homology search and strand invasion. DSB resection in nonmeiotic contexts has been extensively studied, but meiotic resection is less well understood.

The nucleoplasmic extract (NPE) of Xenopus laevis eggs contains a physiological concentration of nuclear proteins that recapitulate a functional nuclear environment. This system has been widely used to study key nuclear processes, including DNA replication, repair, transcription, and chromatin assembly. Its soluble nature, free from membrane fractions and insoluble structures, enables direct analysis of nuclear responses to specific DNA structures and lesions.
