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. L\u2019integrit\u00e0 del DNA deve essere mantenuta durante tutti i processi cellulari per preservare le funzioni cellulari e trasmettere correttamente le informazioni genetiche alla prossima generazione. Il numero di lesioni al DNA di ogni cellula umana \u00e8 stato stimato essere di decine di migliaia al giorno.<\/p><p>Le cause di queste lesioni variano da agenti esterni, come radiazioni solari o mutageni chimici, a danni causati dai normali processi metabolici delle cellule. Questi eventi rappresentano una sfida importante: se non riparate infatti le lesioni possono bloccare l\u2019accesso alle informazioni genetiche e prevenire la duplicazione fedele del DNA.<\/p><p>D\u2019altra parte se le lesioni vengono riparate in modo incorretto si possono verificare mutazioni (cambiamenti delle informazioni genetiche) o aberrazioni cromosomiche (alterazioni del numero o della struttura cromosomica). Questi eventi possono minare la vitalit\u00e0 cellulare o, in alcuni casi, risultare in una divisione cellulare incontrollata ((sviluppo di tumori), e accelerare l&#8217;invecchiamento.<\/p><p>Il nostro gruppo studia le basi dei meccanismi di riparazione del DNA: vogliamo capire come questi funzionano in cellule sane e come i difetti associati a questi meccanismi sono responsabili di disordini genetici e diverse patologie. In particolare uno dei nostri interessi principali \u00e8 lo studio dei meccanismi di riparazione del DNA chiamati Ricombinazione Omologa e riparazione degli abbinamenti sbagliati \u201cmismatch\u201d.<\/p><p>La Ricombinazione Omologa comprende una serie di complessi meccanismi che portano alla riparazione di rotture nei filamenti del DNA. La maggior parte delle cellule contiene pi\u00f9 di una copia di materiale genetico e il processo della Ricombinazione Omologa utilizza questa caratteristica per riparare il DNA.<\/p><p>L\u2019integrit\u00e0 del DNA danneggiato viene infatti ristabilita utilizzando come riferimento l\u2019informazione genetica contenuta nella copia di DNA identica (o omologa). Con questo meccanismo il DNA viene riparato in modo molto accurato.<\/p><p>La riparazione dei \u201cmismatch\u201d, invece, corregge gli errori che si generano durante la replicazione del DNA. Le proteine legate ai fattori di riparazione del mismatch facilitano la meiosi per aiutare a segregare i cromosomi e generare la diversit\u00e0 genetica. Il nostro laboratorio \u00e8 interessato a capire come le proteine di riparazione del DNA prevengono le malattie. A questo proposito, studiamo la funzione dei fattori BRCA1 e BRCA2 che sono associati allo sviluppo del cancro al seno e alle ovaie. A livello molecolare, le proteine BRCA1 e BRCA2 e i loro partner funzionano durante la riparazione delle rotture del DNA.<\/p><p>Inoltre, studiamo il modo in cui le proteine di riparazione dei mismatch regolano la stabilit\u00e0 delle ripetizioni trinucleotidiche, che controlla l&#8217;insorgenza di numerosi disturbi neurodegenerativi legati all&#8217;espansione di sequenze ripetitive di DNA.<\/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\" data-id=\"4e3b140\"

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.
