[HTML][HTML] Chromatin retention of DNA damage sensors DDB2 and XPC through loss of p97 segregase causes genotoxicity

…, N Kaczmarek, K Bachmann, K Ramadan… - Nature …, 2014 - nature.com
DNA damage recognition subunits such as DDB2 and XPC protect the human skin from
ultraviolet (UV) light-induced genome instability and cancer, as demonstrated by the devastating …

[HTML][HTML] TEX264 coordinates p97-and SPRTN-mediated resolution of topoisomerase 1-DNA adducts

…, TS Maughan, SF El-Khamisy, K Ramadan - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Eukaryotic topoisomerase 1 (TOP1) regulates DNA topology to ensure efficient DNA
replication and transcription. TOP1 is also a major driver of endogenous genome instability, …

A unified model for the G1/S cell cycle transition

S Hume, GL Dianov, K Ramadan - Nucleic acids research, 2020 - academic.oup.com
Efficient S phase entry is essential for development, tissue repair, and immune defences.
However, hyperactive or expedited S phase entry causes replication stress, DNA damage and …

[HTML][HTML] Role of p97/VCP (Cdc48) in genome stability

B Vaz, S Halder, K Ramadan - Frontiers in genetics, 2013 - frontiersin.org
Ubiquitin-dependent molecular chaperone p97, also known as valosin-containing protein (VCP)
or Cdc48, is an AAA ATPase involved in protein turnover and degradation. p97 converts …

[HTML][HTML] DNA–protein crosslink proteases in genome stability

A Ruggiano, K Ramadan - Communications Biology, 2021 - nature.com
Proteins covalently attached to DNA, also known as DNA–protein crosslinks (DPCs), are
common and bulky DNA lesions that interfere with DNA replication, repair, transcription and …

Cdc48/p97 promotes reformation of the nucleus by extracting the kinase Aurora B from chromatin

K Ramadan, R Bruderer, FM Spiga, O Popp, T Baur… - Nature, 2007 - nature.com
During division of metazoan cells, the nucleus disassembles to allow chromosome segregation,
and then reforms in each daughter cell. Reformation of the nucleus involves chromatin …

The ubiquitin-selective segregase VCP/p97 orchestrates the response to DNA double-strand breaks

…, P Janscak, U Hübscher, H Meyer, K Ramadan - Nature cell …, 2011 - nature.com
Unrepaired DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) cause genetic instability that leads to malignant
transformation or cell death 1 . Cells respond to DSBs with the ordered recruitment of …

[PDF][PDF] Metalloprotease SPRTN/DVC1 orchestrates replication-coupled DNA-protein crosslink repair

…, BM Kessler, GW McKenna, O Gileadi, K Ramadan - Molecular cell, 2016 - cell.com
The cytotoxicity of DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) is largely ascribed to their ability to block
the progression of DNA replication. DPCs frequently occur in cells, either as a consequence …

[PDF][PDF] Targeting BRCA1 and BRCA2 deficiencies with G-quadruplex-interacting compounds

…, S Halder, A Ryan, SP Jackson, K Ramadan… - Molecular cell, 2016 - cell.com
