DNA damage repair and telomere homeostasis
We are aiming to understand how DNA damage is recognized by the DNA damage checkpoint machinery and how the
checkpoint machinery initiates DNA damage signaling using budding yeast as a model system.
DNA is continually subjected to damaging agents produced inside cells and penetrated from the environment. DNA
damage checkpoint control is devoted to the surveillance of damaged DNA. It is important to study DNA damage
checkpoint for two reasons. First, it is the front line defense against DNA damage. Unprocessed DNA damage can
lead to mutations that can accumulate to cause cancer. Second, some of the compounds used in cancer
chemotherapy and radiotherapy work by damaging DNA. The success of therapy with such agents is affected by DNA
damage checkpoint control in normal and tumor tissues. A deeper understanding of DNA damage checkpoint should
allow us to modulate the process in tumors in ways that could improve cancer therapy.
