DNA damage, chromatin, and transcription: the trinity of aging

Open access
Burgess, Rebecca C, Misteli, Tom, Oberdoerffer, Philipp·2012·Current Opinion in Cell Biology

Abstract

Aging brings about numerous cellular defects. Amongst the most prominent are elevated levels of persistent DNA damage, changes to chromatin structure and epigenetic modifications, and alterations of global transcription programs. These are not independent events and recent work begins to shed light on the intricate interplay between these aging-related defects.

  • Accumulation of DNA damage during life could be a source of age-associated epigenomic changes, and chromatin state could affect DNA repair.

    “Interestingly, sensing and responding to DNA damage involves the recruitment of chromatin modifiers, suggesting that an accumulation of DNA damage during life could be a source for age-associated epigenomic changes and that changes in chromatin state could affect DNA repair (Burgess et al., 2012; Oberdoerffer and Sinclair, 2007).”

  • A compact chromatin domain that enhances DDR signaling complements the need for chromatin relaxation to amplify and activate DDR effector pathways.

    “The establishment of a compact chromatin domain for enhancing DDR signaling is complementary to the observation that chromatin relaxation is required for amplification and activation of DDR effector pathways, and they likely occur in a dynamic exchange (Burgess et al., 2012; Soria et al., 2012).”

  • Chromatin compaction and relaxation probably occur in a dynamic exchange.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
