Restarting Stalled Replication Forks02:37

Restarting Stalled Replication Forks

5.8K
DNA replication is initiated at sites containing predefined DNA sequences known as origins of replication. DNA is unwound at these sites by the minichromosome maintenance (MCM) helicase and other factors such as Cdc45 and the associated GINS complex.The unwound single strands are protected by replication protein A (RPA) until DNA polymerase starts synthesizing DNA at the 5’ end of the strand in the same direction as the replication fork. To prevent the replication fork from falling apart,...

Gene Duplication and Divergence02:37

Gene Duplication and Divergence

6.1K
The seminal work of Ohno in 1970 popularized the idea of gene duplication and divergence. DNA sequence comparison studies reveal that a large portion of the genes in bacteria, archaebacteria, and eukaryotes was  generated by gene duplication and divergence, indicating its critical role in evolution.
The duplicated copies of the gene are called Paralogs. Paralogs with similar sequences and functions form a gene family. Across several species, a large number of gene families are...

Duplication of Chromatin Structure

5.4K
The process of chromosome duplication during cell division requires genome-wide disruption and re-assembly of chromatin. The chromatin structure must be accurately inherited, reassembled, and maintained in the daughter cells to ensure lineage propagation.
The basic unit of the chromatin is the nucleosome, consisting of DNA wrapped around octameric histone proteins and short stretches of linker DNA separating individual nucleosomes. The histone proteins within the nucleosome have their...

DNA Damage can Stall the Cell Cycle

9.1K
In response to DNA damage, cells can pause the cell cycle to assess and repair the breaks. However, the cell must check the DNA at certain critical stages during the cell cycle. If the cell cycle pauses before DNA replication, the cells will contain twice the amount of DNA. On the other hand, if cells arrest after DNA replication but before mitosis, they will contain four times the normal amount of DNA. With a host of specialized proteins at their disposal,cells must use the right protein at...

Gene Conversion02:08

Gene Conversion

9.7K
Other than maintaining genome stability via DNA repair, homologous recombination plays an important role in diversifying the genome. In fact, the recombination of sequences forms the molecular basis of genomic evolution. Random and non-random permutations of genomic sequences create a library of new amalgamated sequences. These newly formed genomes can determine the fitness and survival of cells. In bacteria, homologous and non-homologous types of recombination lead to the evolution of new...

Genome Copying Errors02:46

Genome Copying Errors

4.2K
DNA replication is a well-evolved process that copies millions of base pairs with high fidelity during each cell division. Occasionally a wrong base or a long stretch of wrong bases may get added to the daughter strands. If the errors are left unchecked, cells might accumulate several mutations that might endanger their  survival. Therefore, the copying errors are checked and repaired at three levels.

Summary

ADARp150 is crucial for cell proliferation under stress by preventing DNA replication errors. Its depletion causes cell division failure and whole-genome duplication, hindering tumor growth.

Area of Science:

  • Cell Biology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Impaired G1/S checkpoint control leads to unscheduled DNA replication and replication stress.
  • Cellular pathways are essential for maintaining proliferation under such stress conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of ADARp150 in sustaining proliferation of G1/S-checkpoint-defective cells.
  • To elucidate the function of ADARp150 beyond its mRNA editing activity, particularly in mitosis.

Main Methods:

  • Depletion of ADARp150 in cells with defective G1/S checkpoints.
  • Analysis of cell proliferation under growth-restricting conditions.
  • Investigation of mitotic progression and ploidy.
  • Assessment of Cyclin B3 expression.
  • In vivo studies on tumor outgrowth.

Main Results:

  • ADARp150 is required to sustain proliferation of G1/S-checkpoint-defective cells under growth restriction.
  • ADARp150 depletion leads to tetraploidization and impaired proliferation in mitogen-deprived conditions.
  • ADAR1 depletion causes aberrant Cyclin B3 expression, resulting in mitotic failure and whole-genome duplication.
  • ADAR1 depletion-induced tetraploidization hampers tumor outgrowth in vivo.

Conclusions:

  • ADARp150 plays a critical role in mitosis, independent of its mRNA editing function.
  • ADARp150 prevents tetraploidization and mitotic failure by regulating Cyclin B3.
  • ADAR1 is essential for maintaining genomic stability and tumor suppression.
