Project name: Mus musculus

Description: DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) in B lymphocytes are thought to arise stochastically during replication (S phase) or as a result of targeted DNA damage by activation induced cytidine deaminase (AID) in G1. Here we identify a novel class of recurrent, early replicating and AID independent DNA lesions, termed early replication fragile sites (ERFS), by genome-wide localization of DNA repair proteins DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) in B lymphocytes are thought to arise stochastically during replication (S phase) or as a result of targeted DNA damage by activation induced cytidine deaminase (AID) in G1.

Here we identify a novel class of recurrent, early replicating and AID independent DNA lesions, termed early replication fragile sites (ERFS), by genome-wide localization of DNA repair proteins RPA, SMC5, gamma-H2AX, and BRCA1 in B cells subjected to replication stress.Overall design: Protein-DNA association for four DNA damage response proteins (RPA, SMC5, g-H2AX, BRCA1), BrdU incorporation, and gene transcription in B lymphocytes with and without hydroxyurea treatment were examined.
