Regulatory R-loops as facilitators of gene expression and genome stability

C Niehrs, B Luke - Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, 2020 - nature.com
R-loops are three-stranded structures that harbour an RNA–DNA hybrid and frequently form
during transcription. R-loop misregulation is associated with DNA damage, transcription …

TERRA: telomeric repeat‐containing RNA

B Luke, J Lingner - The EMBO journal, 2009 - embopress.org
Telomeres, the physical ends of eukaryotic chromosomes, consist of tandem arrays of short
DNA repeats and a large set of specialized proteins. A recent analysis has identified …

Clonally expanded CD4+ T cells can produce infectious HIV-1 in vivo

…, S Hill, X Wu, D Wells, L Su, BT Luke… - Proceedings of the …, 2016 - National Acad Sciences
Reservoirs of infectious HIV-1 persist despite years of combination antiretroviral therapy and
make curing HIV-1 infections a major challenge. Most of the proviral DNA resides in CD4 + …

The palm subdomain-based active site is internally permuted in viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerases of an ancient lineage

…, FM Pringle, JL Zeddam, BT Luke… - Journal of molecular …, 2002 - Elsevier
Template-dependent polynucleotide synthesis is catalyzed by enzymes whose core
component includes a ubiquitous αβ palm subdomain comprising A, B and C sequence motifs …

[HTML][HTML] R-loop proximity proteomics identifies a role of DDX41 in transcription-associated genomic instability

…, G Petrosino, J Flach, J Barau, B Luke… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
Transcription poses a threat to genomic stability through the formation of R-loops that can
obstruct progression of replication forks. R-loops are three-stranded nucleic acid structures …

Violent love: Hunting, heterosexuality, and the erotics of men's predation

B Luke - Feminist Studies, 1998 - JSTOR
" It will require a courageous grasp of the politics and economics, as well as the cultural
propaganda, of heterosexuality to carry us beyond individual cases or diversified group …

TERRA and the state of the telomere

K Rippe, B Luke - Nature structural & molecular biology, 2015 - nature.com
Long noncoding telomeric repeat–containing RNA (TERRA) has been implicated in telomere
maintenance in a telomerase-dependent and a telomerase-independent manner during …

Molecular and physiological consequences of faulty eukaryotic ribonucleotide excision repair

V Kellner, B Luke - The EMBO journal, 2020 - embopress.org
The duplication of the eukaryotic genome is an intricate process that has to be tightly safe‐guarded.
One of the most frequently occurring errors during DNA synthesis is the mis‐…

[PDF][PDF] The Rat1p 5′ to 3′ exonuclease degrades telomeric repeat-containing RNA and promotes telomere elongation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

B Luke, A Panza, S Redon, N Iglesias, Z Li, J Lingner - Molecular cell, 2008 - cell.com
Vertebrate telomeres are transcribed into telomeric repeat-containing RNA (TERRA) that
associates with telomeres and may be important for telomere function. Here, we demonstrate …

Telomeric RNA-DNA hybrids affect telomere-length dynamics and senescence

…, S Luke-Glaser, K Bender, B Luke - Nature structural & …, 2013 - nature.com
Although telomeres are heterochromatic, they are transcribed into noncoding telomeric
repeat–containing RNA (TERRA). Here we show that RNA-DNA hybrids form at telomeres and …
