1/7 Our latest preprint is out! 🚨 @Sour_Agrawal , @xiuhua_linwisc , @viveksusvirkar et al. discover human RPA is a critical telomerase processivity factor essential for telomere maintenance. This reshapes our understanding of human telomerase regulation. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Have you ever wondered why some cell lines are easy to edit with CRISPR-mediated gene editing, while others are more difficult? Our paper is now online and offers an interesting answer: nature.com/articles/s41587-0…

In vitro, multiple #DNA_repair proteins Ku load from DNA ends on linear DNA, eventually covering it. Yet, in cells, only one Ku is found per DNA end at double-strand breaks. What restricts Ku entry on chromatin? doi.org/10.1016/j.celrep.202…

In this work, we identify the main barriers to Ku accumulation in chromatin: DNA-PKcs structurally retains Ku at DNA ends. If Ku enters chromatin, it is removed by a neddylation/FBXL12-dependent process. In S-phase, DNA end resection can remove Ku, even in excess.

Really proud of this one! Thanks to our collaborators @JoeLoparo lab for single-molecule experiments in Xenopus egg extracts, the kind reviewers, @CellReports for the pleasant publishing experience, and our funders @Liguevscancer31 @laliguecancer @FRM_officiel

These mechanisms are crucial: transcription is inhibited locally by Ku without DNA-PKcs, and FBXL12 is vital for the fitness of DNA-PKcs deficient cells. Our findings highlight the complex regulation of Ku, necessary to maintaining genome integrity.
