How do drug-induced topoisomerase I-DNA lesions signal to the molecular interaction network that regulates cell cycle checkpoints, DNA replication, and DNA repair?

Abstract

Recent results suggest that potentially lethal DNA lesions may result when replication forks encounter trapped topoisomerase-DNA complexes or some other types of DNA damage. Such events produce what are called replication-encounter lesions. These lesions have the characteristic that they may allow single stranded DNA-associated replication protein A (RPA) to become juxtaposed to dsDNA end-associated DNA-protein kinase. Our results suggest that DNA-protein kinases may then hyperphosphorylate the RPA2 subunit. We discuss a possible pathway by which hyperphosphorylation of RPA2 could lead to the release of active p53. This could constitute a pathway for signaling the presence of replication-encounter lesions to the p53-dependent cell cycle arrest and/or apoptosis initiator systems.

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
