[PDF][PDF] Restoration of replication fork stability in BRCA1-and BRCA2-deficient cells by inactivation of SNF2-family fork remodelers

A Taglialatela, S Alvarez, G Leuzzi, V Sannino… - Molecular cell, 2017 - cell.com
To ensure the completion of DNA replication and maintenance of genome integrity, DNA
repair factors protect stalled replication forks upon replication stress. Previous studies have …

[PDF][PDF] Functional interrogation of DNA damage response variants with base editing screens

…, X Fan, X Chen, JW Huang, A Taglialatela, G Leuzzi… - Cell, 2021 - cell.com
Mutations in DNA damage response (DDR) genes endanger genome integrity and predispose
to cancer and genetic disorders. Here, using CRISPR-dependent cytosine base editing …

[PDF][PDF] REV1-Polζ maintains the viability of homologous recombination-deficient cancer cells through mutagenic repair of PRIMPOL-dependent ssDNA gaps

A Taglialatela, G Leuzzi, V Sannino, R Cuella-Martin… - Molecular cell, 2021 - cell.com
BRCA1/2 mutant tumor cells display an elevated mutation burden, the etiology of which
remains unclear. Here, we report that these cells accumulate ssDNA gaps and spontaneous …

The DNA damage response and inflammation in cancer

V Klapp, B Álvarez-Abril, G Leuzzi, G Kroemer, A Ciccia… - Cancer discovery, 2023 - AACR
Accumulating preclinical and clinical evidence indicates that DDR is intimately connected to
the emission of immunomodulatory signals by normal and malignant cells, as part of a cell-…

[HTML][HTML] Stimulation of CRISPR-mediated homology-directed repair by an engineered RAD18 variant

…, A Taglialatela, K Cai, JW Huang, G Leuzzi… - Nature …, 2019 - nature.com
Precise editing of genomic DNA can be achieved upon repair of CRISPR-induced DNA
double-stranded breaks (DSBs) by homology-directed repair (HDR). However, the efficiency of …

[PDF][PDF] Histone methylation antagonism drives tumor immune evasion in squamous cell carcinomas

Y Li, EM Goldberg, X Chen, X Xu, JT McGuire, G Leuzzi… - Molecular cell, 2022 - cell.com
How cancer-associated chromatin abnormalities shape tumor-immune interaction remains
incompletely understood. Recent studies have linked DNA hypomethylation and de-…

WRNIP 1 protects stalled forks from degradation and promotes fork restart after replication stress

G Leuzzi, V Marabitti, P Pichierri, A Franchitto - The EMBO journal, 2016 - embopress.org
Accurate handling of stalled replication forks is crucial for the maintenance of genome
stability. RAD 51 defends stalled replication forks from nucleolytic attack, which otherwise can …

[PDF][PDF] The BRCT domains of the BRCA1 and BARD1 tumor suppressors differentially regulate homology-directed repair and stalled fork protection

…, M Horiguchi, F Wu-Baer, A Taglialatela, G Leuzzi… - Molecular cell, 2018 - cell.com
The BRCA1 tumor suppressor preserves genome integrity through both homology-directed
repair (HDR) and stalled fork protection (SFP). In vivo, BRCA1 exists as a heterodimer with …

[HTML][HTML] MCM8IP activates the MCM8-9 helicase to promote DNA synthesis and homologous recombination upon DNA damage

…, TS Nambiar, R Cuella-Martin, G Leuzzi… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Homologous recombination (HR) mediates the error-free repair of DNA double-strand
breaks to maintain genomic stability. Here we characterize C17orf53/MCM8IP, an OB-fold …

[HTML][HTML] Partial loss-of-function mutations in GINS4 lead to NK cell deficiency with neutropenia

MI Conte, MC Poli, A Taglialatela, G Leuzzi, IK Chinn… - JCI insight, 2022 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Human NK cell deficiency (NKD) is a primary immunodeficiency in which the main clinically
relevant immunological defect involves missing or dysfunctional NK cells. Here, we describe …
