Sources, resolution and physiological relevance of R-loops and RNA-DNA hybrids

Eva Petermann et al.

Summary: RNA-DNA hybrids and R-loop structures play important roles in transcription, replication, and DNA repair. They regulate gene expression and chromatin structure but can also cause genome instability and contribute to diseases such as neurodegeneration and cancer. Therefore, understanding and targeting R-loop suppression mechanisms provide therapeutic opportunities.

Telomeric replication stress: the beginning and the end for alternative lengthening of telomeres cancers

Robert Lu et al.

Summary: Telomeres are protein structures that cover the ends of chromosomes. The DNA at telomeres contains repetitive sequences that are difficult to replicate. Structural abnormalities at ALT telomeres increase replication stress, leading to stalling and collapse of replication forks. This DNA damage stimulates recombination-mediated repair and break-induced telomere synthesis. The coordination between replication stress and DNA repair regulates telomere length in ALT cells, and can be manipulated experimentally. Inducing replication stress may selectively disrupt the viability of ALT cancer cells.
