DROSHA, DICER and Damage-Induced long ncRNA control BMI1-dependent transcriptional repression at DNA double-strand break

Francesca Esposito, Ilaria Capozzo, Adelaide Riccardi…·Sofia Francia

The paper shows that dilncRNA, DROSHA, and DICER control DISC by recruiting BMI1 and promoting H2A-K119 ubiquitination at DNA double-strand breaks.

DNA damage response defects induced by the formation of TDP-43 and mutant FUS cytoplasmic inclusions and their pharmacological rescue.

Stefania Modafferi, Stefania Farina, Francesca Esposito…·Sofia Francia

This study shows that TDP-43 and FUS cytoplasmic inclusions impair DNA damage response and repair, and that pharmacological stimulation of DDR can rescue these defects in ALS models.
