Measurement of dijet production with a veto on additional central jet activity in pp collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV using the ATLAS detector
2011
A measurement of jet activity in the rapidity interval bounded by a dijet system is presented. Events are vetoed if a jet with transverse momentum greater than 20 GeV is found between the two boundary jets. The fraction of dijet events that survive the jet veto is presented for boundary jets that are separated by up to six units of rapidity and with mean transverse momentum 50 < p¯T < 500 GeV. The mean multiplicity of jets above the veto scale in the rapidity interval bounded by the dijet system is also presented as an alternative method for quantifying perturbative QCD emission. The data are compared to a next-to-leading order plus parton shower prediction from the powheg-box, an all-order…

Compromised repair of radiation-induced DNA double-strand breaks in Fanconi anemia fibroblasts in G2
2020
Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare chromosomal instability syndrome with various clinical features and high cancer incidence. Despite being a DNA repair disorder syndrome and a frequently observed clinical hypersensitivity of FA patients towards ionizing radiation, the experimental evidence regarding the efficiency of radiation-induced DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair in FA is very controversial. Here, we performed a thorough analysis of the repair of radiation-induced DSBs in G1 and G2 in FA fibroblasts of complementation groups A, C, D1 (BRCA2), D2, E, F, G and P (SLX4) in comparison to normal human lung and skin fibroblasts. γH2AX, 53BP1, or RPA foci quantification after X-irradiation was…
Deinococcus radiodurans' SRA-HNH domain containing protein Shp (Dr1533) is involved in faithful genome inheritance maintenance following DNA damage
2018
WOS:000452343100012; International audience; Background: Deinococcus radiodurans R1 (DR) survives conditions of extreme desiccation, irradiation and exposure to genotoxic chemicals, due to efficient DNA breaks repair, also through Mn2+ protection of DNA repair enzymes. Methods: Possible annotated domains of the DR1533 locus protein (Shp) were searched by bioinformatic analysis. The gene was cloned and expressed as fusion protein. Band-shift assays of Shp or the SRA and HNH domains were performed on oligonucleotides, genomic DNA from E. coif and DR. slip knock-out mutant was generated by homologous recombination with a kanamycin resistance cassette. Results: DR1533 contains an N-terminal SRA…
Cell proliferation and DNA breaks are involved in ultraviolet light-induced apoptosis in nucleotide excision repair-deficient Chinese hamster cells.
2002
UV light targets both membrane receptors and nuclear DNA, thus evoking signals triggering apoptosis. Although receptor-mediated apoptosis has been extensively investigated, the role of DNA damage in apoptosis is less clear. To analyze the importance of DNA damage induced by UV-C light in apoptosis, we compared nucleotide excision repair (NER)-deficient Chinese hamster ovary cells (lines 27-1 and 43-3B mutated for the repair genes ERCC3 and ERCC1, respectively) with the corresponding DNA repair-proficient fibroblasts (CHO-9 and ERCC1 complemented 43-3B cells). NER-deficient cells were hypersensitive as to the induction of apoptosis, indicating that apoptosis induced by UV-C light is due to u…
Fen1 is induced p53 dependently and involved in the recovery from UV-light-induced replication inhibition.
2005
Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) that lack p53 are hypersensitive to the cytotoxic and genotoxic effect of ultraviolet (UV-C) light. They also display a defect in the recovery from UV-C-induced DNA replication inhibition. An enzyme involved in processing stalled DNA replication forks is flap endonuclease 1 (Fen1). Gene expression profiling of UV-C-irradiated MEFs revealed fen1 to be upregulated, which was confirmed by RT-PCR and Western blot experiments. Increased Fen1 levels upon UV-C exposure are due to transcriptional activation, as revealed by inhibitor studies. Fen1 induction was dose- and time-dependent; it occurred on protein level already 3 h after irradiation. Induction of Fen1 b…
The APC/C cofactor Cdh1 prevents replicative stress and p53-dependent cell death in neural progenitors
2013
The E3-ubiquitin ligase APC/C-Cdh1 is essential for endoreduplication but its relevance in the mammalian mitotic cell cycle is still unclear. Here we show that genetic ablation of Cdh1 in the developing nervous system results in hypoplastic brain and hydrocephalus. These defects correlate with enhanced levels of Cdh1 substrates and increased entry into the S phase in neural progenitors. However, cell division is prevented in the absence of Cdh1 due to hyperactivation of cyclin-dependent kinases, replicative stress, induction of p53, G2 arrest and apoptotic death of these progenitor cells. Concomitant ablation of p53 rescues apoptosis but not replicative stress, resulting in the presence of …
Apoptotic death induced by the cyclophosphamide analogue mafosfamide in human lymphoblastoid cells: Contribution of DNA replication, transcription in…
2007
Cyclophosphamide is one of the most often used anticancer drugs. Although DNA interstrand cross-links are considered responsible for its cytotoxicity, the mechanism of initiation and execution of cell death is largely unknown. Using the cyclophosphamide analogue mafosfamide, which does not need metabolic activation, we show that mafosfamide induces apoptosis dose and time dependently in lymphoblastoid cells, with clearly more apoptosis in p53(wt) cells. We identified two upstream processes that initiate apoptosis, DNA replication blockage and transcriptional inhibition. In lymphoblastoid cells, wherein DNA replication can be switched off by tetracycline, proliferation is required for induci…
DAZAP2 acts as specifier of the p53 response to DNA damage.
2021
Abstract The DNA damage-responsive tumor suppressors p53 and HIPK2 are well established regulators of cell fate decision-making and regulate the cellular sensitivity to DNA-damaging drugs. Here, we identify Deleted in Azoospermia-associated protein 2 (DAZAP2), a small adaptor protein, as a novel regulator of HIPK2 and specifier of the DNA damage-induced p53 response. Knock-down or genetic deletion of DAZAP2 strongly potentiates cancer cell chemosensitivity both in cells and in vivo using a mouse tumour xenograft model. In unstressed cells, DAZAP2 stimulates HIPK2 polyubiquitination and degradation through interplay with the ubiquitin ligase SIAH1. Upon DNA damage, HIPK2 site-specifically ph…
The human p53 gene mutated at position 249per se is not sufficient to immortalize human liver cells
1999
A particular point mutation of the tumor suppressor gene p53, namely a G→T transversion at the third base of codon 249, is frequently detected in primary hepatocellular carcinomas from patients living in areas where the levels of dietary exposure to aflatoxin B 1 and the rates of infection with the hepatitis B virus are very high. Very recently, a nontumorigenic liver epithelial cell line (HACL-1) with a finite life-span and expressing a number of hepatocyte-specific markers was established from a human hepatocellular adenoma in our laboratory. To analyze the role of mutated p53 in the immortalization of human liver cells, we transfected HACL-1 cells with an expression vector containing a h…
