Dear all, if you’re interested in DNA base excision repair, please see our new bioRxiv preprint at the link below, in which we reveal why POLB is required for rapid rates of BER in human cells, despite its catalytic redundancy several other DNA polymerases. www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

DNA Polymerase beta Accelerates Cellular DNA Base Excision Repair by Suppressing Excessive PARP1 Engagement
DNA polymerase beta (POLB) is required for rapid rates of cellular DNA base excision repair (BER). However, the reason for this requirement is unclear, because other DNA polymerases can replace POLB i...

Break-induced replication is enhanced by a phospho-activated RPA-binding module in Pol32 - Nature Communications
Break-induced replication (BIR) is mediated by DNA polymerase d (Pol d). Here, the authors identify a phospho-activated RPA-binding module in Pol d which promotes BIR efficiency, providing a paradigm ...

Dear all, please see link below for Milano et al, describing a role for BRCA2 (& BRCA1) in the maturation of nascent DNA strand gaps during DNA replication in the presence of PARP inhibitor. Congratulations Larissa and all ! authors.elsevier.com/a/1mtQe3vVUP...

Dear all, over Christmas I was sadly informed that Larry Thompson died on Dec.16th. Those of you that knew Larry and his work will know how big a loss this is to the genome stability community. A brief memoriam and tribute to Larry is available in DNA Repair. authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...
