Defining R-loop classes and their contributions to genome instability

D Castillo-Guzman, F Chédin - DNA repair, 2021 - Elsevier
R-loops are non-B DNA structures that form during transcription when the nascent RNA
anneals to the template DNA strand forming a RNA: DNA hybrid. Understanding the …

R loops and links to human disease

P Richard, JL Manley - Journal of molecular biology, 2017 - Elsevier
Aberrant R-loop structures are increasingly being realized as an important contributor to
human disease. R loops, which are mainly co-transcriptional, abundant RNA/DNA hybrids …

Genome-wide distribution of RNA-DNA hybrids identifies RNase H targets in tRNA genes, retrotransposons and mitochondria

A El Hage, S Webb, A Kerr, D Tollervey - PLoS genetics, 2014 - journals.plos.org
During transcription, the nascent RNA can invade the DNA template, forming extended RNA-
DNA duplexes (R-loops). Here we employ ChIP-seq in strains expressing or lacking RNase …

DNA Topoisomerase I differentially modulates R-loops across the human genome

SG Manzo, SR Hartono, LA Sanz, J Marinello… - Genome biology, 2018 - Springer
Background Co-transcriptional R-loops are abundant non-B DNA structures in mammalian
genomes. DNA Topoisomerase I (Top1) is often thought to regulate R-loop formation owing …

Nascent connections: R-loops and chromatin patterning

F Chédin - Trends in Genetics, 2016 - cell.com
RNA molecules, such as long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), have critical roles in regulating
gene expression, chromosome architecture, and the modification states of chromatin …

BRCA2 regulates transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II to prevent R-loop accumulation

MKK Shivji, X Renaudin, ÇH Williams… - Cell reports, 2018 - cell.com
The controlled release of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) from promoter-proximal pausing
(PPP) sites is critical for transcription elongation in metazoans. We show that the human …

R-loop generation during transcription: Formation, processing and cellular outcomes

BP Belotserkovskii, S Tornaletti, AD D'Souza… - DNA repair, 2018 - Elsevier
R-loops are structures consisting of an RNA-DNA duplex and an unpaired DNA strand. They
can form during transcription upon nascent RNA “threadback” invasion into the DNA duplex …

Out of balance: R-loops in human disease

M Groh, N Gromak - PLoS genetics, 2014 - journals.plos.org
R-loops are cellular structures composed of an RNA/DNA hybrid, which is formed when the
RNA hybridises to a complementary DNA strand and a displaced single-stranded DNA. R …

Mechanisms of long noncoding RNA nuclear retention

CJ Guo, G Xu, LL Chen - Trends in biochemical sciences, 2020 - cell.com
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are crucial regulators in diverse cellular contexts and
biological processes. The subcellular localization of lncRNAs determines their modes of …
