The Role of RNA and RNA-related Proteins in the Regulation of DNA Double Strand Break Repair Pathway Choice

DNA end resection is a critical step in the repair of DNA double strand breaks. It controls the way the lesion is going to be repaired, thus its regulation has a great importance in maintaining genomic stability. In this review, we focus in recent discoveries in the field that point to a modulation...

Sumario:DNA end resection is a critical step in the repair of DNA double strand breaks. It controls the way the lesion is going to be repaired, thus its regulation has a great importance in maintaining genomic stability. In this review, we focus in recent discoveries in the field that point to a modulation of resection by RNA molecules and RNA-related proteins. Moreover, we aim to reconcile contradictory reports on the positive or negative effect of DNA:RNA hybrids in the resection process.
