class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>L\u2019acido desossiribonucleico (DNA) contiene l\u2019informazione genetica e le istruzioni che permettono lo sviluppo e il funzionamento corretto di tutti gli organismi viventi.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">L\u2019integrit\u00e0 del DNA deve essere mantenuta durante l\u2019intero ciclo vitale della cellula, al fine di mantenere le funzioni cellulari e trasmettere correttamente le informazioni genetiche alla generazione successiva. Se i meccanismi di riparazione del DNA non funzionano correttamente, i danni persistenti possono bloccare l\u2019accesso alle informazioni genetiche e impedire una fedele replicazione (duplicazione) della molecola di DNA. D\u2019altra parte, una riparazione errata pu\u00f2 causare mutazioni (alterazioni dell\u2019informazione genetica) o aberrazioni cromosomiche (riarrangiamenti su larga scala del materiale genetico), favorendo l\u2019insorgenza di tumori o l\u2019invecchiamento accelerato. Il nostro gruppo di ricerca studia i meccanismi di riparazione del DNA da una prospettiva di ricerca di base: vogliamo comprendere come queste vie operino nelle cellule sane e come eventuali difetti possano causare anomalie e malattie.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">In particolare, ci concentriamo su due principali vie di riparazione del DNA: la ricombinazione omologa e la riparazione degli errori di appaiamento (mismatch repair).<\/p><p class=\"p1\">La ricombinazione omologa \u00e8 un complesso sistema di processi altamente sofisticato che ripara le rotture dei filamenti di DNA. La maggior parte delle cellule contiene pi\u00f9 di una copia dell\u2019informazione genetica e la ricombinazione omologa sfrutta elegantemente questa caratteristica, ripristinando l\u2019integrit\u00e0 della molecola danneggiata utilizzando come modello la copia identica (o omologa) del DNA. Questo meccanismo consente quindi una riparazione delle rotture in modo ampiamente accurato. Molti dei fattori coinvolti in questo processo ci proteggono dall\u2019insorgenza del cancro. Gli esempi pi\u00f9 noti sono BRCA1 e BRCA2 che, quando mutati, sono associati al carcinoma mammario e ovarico. Nel nostro laboratorio cerchiamo di comprendere con precisione i meccanismi attraverso cui le proteine BRCA1 e BRCA2, insieme ai loro partner molecolari, coordinano la riparazione delle rotture del DNA.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">La seconda via, la riparazione dei mismatch, corregge invece gli errori che insorgono durante la replicazione del<\/p><p class=\"p1\">DNA. Le proteine coinvolte in questo processo facilitano inoltre la meiosi, contribuendo alla corretta segregazione dei cromosomi e alla generazione della diversit\u00e0 genetica.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Mutazioni nei relativi fattori sono infatti associate a infertilit\u00e0. In questo contesto, studiamo come le proteine della riparazione dei mismatch siano regolate e quale sia il loro ruolo preciso nella meiosi. \u00c8 stato inoltre dimostrato che tali proteine controllano la stabilit\u00e0 delle ripetizioni trinucleotidiche. L\u2019espansione anomala di queste sequenze ripetute, causata da alcuni fattori della riparazione dei mismatch, \u00e8 responsabile di numerose patologie, tra cui la malattia di Huntington, rivelando un lato patologico di questo sistema di riparazione. Cerchiamo di comprendere come tali proteine agiscano nell\u2019espansione patologica delle ripetizioni trinucleotidiche, con la speranza che le conoscenze acquisite possano contribuire allo sviluppo di nuove strategie terapeutiche.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4e3b140 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\"

class=\"rtejustify\"><strong>Overview<br \/><\/strong>Homologous recombination is initiated by the nucleolytic degradation (resection) of the 5&#8242;-terminated DNA strand of the DNA break. This leads to the formation of 3&#8242;-tailed DNA, which becomes a substrate for the strand exchange protein RAD51 and primes DNA synthesis during the downstream events in the recombination pathway.\u00a0 DNA end resection thus represents a key process that commits the repair of DNA breaks into recombination. Research from multiple laboratories established that DNA end resection is in most cases a two-step process. It is initiated by the nucleolytic degradation of DNA that is at first limited to the vicinity of the broken DNA end. This is carried out by the Mre11-Rad50-Xrs2 (MRX) complex and Sae2 proteins in yeast, and MRE11-RAD50-NBS1 (MRN) and CtIP proteins in human cells. We could reconstitute these reactions\u00a0<em>in vitro<\/em>, and demonstrated that Sae2 and CtIP stimulate a cryptic endonuclease activity within the yeast MRX or human MRN complex, respectively. The activity of Sae2\/CtIP is absolutely dependent on its phosphorylation. The reconstituted DNA clipping reaction allows us to investigate the mechanism of this process as well as its regulation by posttranslational modifications and additional protein co-factors.<\/p><p class=\"rtejustify\">Downstream of MRX-Sae2 and MRN-CtIP, which process only a limited length of DNA, DNA end resection is further catalyzed by Sgs1-Dna2 or Exo1 in yeast and BLM-DNA2, WRN-DNA2 or EXO1 in human cells. We are interested how the functions of these factors integrate in protein complexes to form molecular machines that are uniquely capable to resect long lengths of DNA, which is required for homologous recombination. We are specifically interested in the Dna2 enzyme, and could show that both yeast Dna2 and human DNA2 possess a cryptic helicase activity. We now investigate how the motor activity of Dna2 promotes DNA end resection, as well as how it is regulated in cells. Finally, as some of these enzymes are upregulated in various human cancers, we are also searching for small molecules capable to inhibit these pathways.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1942\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1942\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Promotion of genetic diversity in meiosis: resolution of recombination intermediates<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1942\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1942\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: bolder;\">Researchers<br \/><\/span><span style=\"text-decoration-line: underline;\"><a style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/irb.usi.ch\/irb-people\/cejka-petr\/?id=8994\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Petr Cejka<\/a><\/span>\u00a0&#8211; Group Leader<\/p><p><strong>Status<\/strong><br \/>In progress<\/p><p><strong>Overview<br \/><\/strong>Promotion of genetic diversity is a key function of sexual reproduction. At the molecular level, this is controlled by the homologous recombination machinery, which exchanges (recombines) DNA fragments between the maternal and paternal genomes. During this process, joint molecules form between the &#8216;mum&#8217; and &#8216;dad&#8217; chromosomes, leading to intermediates termed double Holliday junctions. These joint molecules are then processed in a way that results in the physical exchange of genetic information between the two recombining chromosomes. This so\u2010called crossover is an integral and essential part of the meiotic cell division. Results from genetic, cell biological and cytological experiments identified the Mlh1\u2010Mlh3 heterodimer as part of a protein complex that is required for the generation of crossovers during meiotic homologous recombination. However, the mechanism of this reaction is completely unknown. The aim of our research is to analyze the behavior of the purified recombinant Mlh1\u00ad\u2010Mlh3 complex as well that of its partners in the processing of double Holliday junctions. We want to show how Mlh1\u2010Mlh3 can cleave these structures into exclusively crossover recombination products, and therefore explain the molecular mechanism underlying the generation of diversity in meiosis.<\/p><p class=\"rtejustify\">So far, we successfully expressed and purified the yeast Mlh1-\u00adMlh3 and human MLH1-MLH3 recombinant proteins into near homogeneity. We could show that the recombinant MutL\u03b3 is indeed a nuclease that nicks double\u00ad\u2010stranded DNA in the presence of manganese, similarly to the mismatch repair specific MutL\u03b1 nuclease. MutL\u03b3 binds DNA with a high affinity, and shows a marked preference for Holliday junctions, in agreement with its anticipated activity in their processing. Specific DNA recognition has never been observed with any other eukaryotic MutL homologue. Mismatch repair specific MutL\u03b1 shows no binding preference to mismatched DNA. MutL\u03b3 thus represents a new paradigm for the function of the eukaryotic MutL protein family. Unfortunately, to date, we have not seen any activity on joint molecule intermediates (such as Holliday junctions) in the presence of physiological manganese metal cofactor. This will likely require interplay of Mlh1-Mlh3 with other cellular factors (such as Exo1, Msh4-Msh5, etc.), and is the subject of vigorous research in the laboratory at present.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1943\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1943\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Searching for a homologous partner: DNA strand exchange<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1943\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1943\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: bolder;\">Researchers<br \/><\/span><span style=\"text-decoration-line: underline;\"><a style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/irb.usi.ch\/irb-people\/cejka-petr\/?id=8994\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Petr Cejka<\/a><\/span>\u00a0&#8211; Group Leader<\/p><p><strong>Status<\/strong><br \/>In progress<\/p><p class=\"rtejustify\"><strong>Overview<br \/><\/strong>In addition to repair double-stranded DNA breaks, homologous recombination helps to stabilize or restart replication forks in the presence of single-stranded DNA breaks or replication-blocking lesions. This likely represents the most important function of recombination, as recombination-deficient human cells can undergo only a very limited number of rounds of DNA replication. The link between stalled or collapsed replication forks and recombination is not understood. It has been inferred that the human MMS22L-TONSL complex might function in this process, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. We could show that MMS22L-TONSL binds RPA-coated single-stranded DNA, which may help recruit the complex to sites of DNA damage. By a direct interaction with the strand exchange protein RAD51, MMS22L-TONSL promotes DNA strand exchange by limiting the assembly of RAD51 on double-stranded DNA. The activity of MMS22L-TONSL then promotes replication fork reversal to protect stalled or stressed replication forks. We will further investigate how MMS22L-TONSL functions alongside other recombination mediators including BRCA2 or the RAD51 paralogs.<\/p><p class=\"rtejustify\">Replication fork repair by recombination must be tightly regulated so that it is only activated when needed. Unscheduled DNA recombination might lead to sister chromatid exchanges, loss of heterozygocity, genome rearrangements and other abnormalities, and must be thus tightly controlled. The ultimate goal of our experiments is to understand how MMS22L-TONSL regulates recombination specifically upon replication fork stalling. Our research is anticipated to shed light on the link between DNA.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d83e997 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"d83e997\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-95d141e ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"95d141e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fbd597d ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"fbd597d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9f661dc elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"9f661dc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meccanismi di Ricombinazione Panoramica L\u2019acido desossiribonucleico (DNA) contiene l\u2019informazione genetica e le istruzioni che permettono lo sviluppo e il funzionamento corretto di tutti gli organismi viventi.
