Familial Cortical Myoclonus Caused by Mutation in NOL3 by Jonathan Foster Rnsseil DISSERTATION Submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Biomedical Sciences in the Copyright 2013 by Jonathan Foster Russell ii I dedicate this dissertation to Mom and Dad, for their adamantine love and support iii No man has earned the right to intellectual ambition until he has learned to lay his course by a star which he has never seen—to dig by the divining rod for springs which he may never reach. In saying this, I point to that which will make your study heroic. For I say to you in all sadness of conviction, that to think great thoughts you must be heroes as well as idealists. Only when you have worked alone – when you have felt around you a black gulf of solitude more isolating than that which surrounds the dying man, and in hope and in despair have trusted to your own unshaken will – then only will you have achieved. Thus only can you gain the secret isolated joy of the thinker, who knows that, a hundred years after he is dead and forgotten, men who never heard of him will be moving to the measure of his thought—the subtile rapture of a postponed power, which the world knows not because it has no external trappings, but which to his prophetic vision is more real than that which commands an army. -Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am humbled by the efforts of many, many others who were essential for this work. -

Identification of Novel Dna Damage Response Genes Using Functional Genomics
IDENTIFICATION OF NOVEL DNA DAMAGE RESPONSE GENES USING FUNCTIONAL GENOMICS by Michael Chang A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Biochemistry University of Toronto © Copyright by Michael Chang (2005) Identification of novel DNA damage response genes using functional genomics Doctor of Philosophy, 2005; Michael Chang; Department of Biochemistry, University of Toronto ABSTRACT The genetic information required for life is stored within molecules of DNA. This DNA is under constant attack as a result of normal cellular metabolic processes, as well as exposure to genotoxic agents. DNA damage left unrepaired can result in mutations that alter the genetic information encoded within DNA. Cells have consequently evolved complex pathways to combat damage to their DNA. Defects in the cellular response to DNA damage can result in genomic instability, a hallmark of cancer cells. Identifying all the components required for this response remains an important step in fully elucidating the molecular mechanisms involved. I used functional genomic approaches to identify genes required for the DNA damage response in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. I conducted a screen to identify genes required for resistance to a DNA damaging agent, methyl methanesulfonate, and identified several poorly characterized genes that are necessary for proper S phase progression in the presence of DNA damage. Among the genes identified, ESC4/RTT107 has since been shown to be essential for the resumption of DNA replication after DNA damage. Using genome-wide genetic interaction screens to identify genes that are required for viability in the absence of MUS81 and MMS4, two genes required for resistance to DNA damage, I helped identify ELG1, deletion of which causes DNA replication defects, genomic instability, and an inability to properly recover from DNA damage during S phase. -

Control of Genome Integrity by RFC Complexes; Conductors of PCNA Loading Onto and Unloading from Chromatin During DNA Replication
Review Control of Genome Integrity by RFC Complexes; Conductors of PCNA Loading onto and Unloading from Chromatin during DNA Replication Yasushi Shiomi *and Hideo Nishitani * Graduate School of Life Science, University of Hyogo, Kamigori, Ako‐gun, Hyogo 678‐1297, Japan Correspondence: [email protected]‐hyogo.ac.jp (Y.S.); [email protected]‐hyogo.ac.jp (H.N.) Academic Editor: Eishi Noguchi Received: 28 November 2016; Accepted: 21 January 2017; Published: 26 January 2017 Abstract: During cell division, genome integrity is maintained by faithful DNA replication during S phase, followed by accurate segregation in mitosis. Many DNA metabolic events linked with DNA replication are also regulated throughout the cell cycle. In eukaryotes, the DNA sliding clamp, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), acts on chromatin as a processivity factor for DNA polymerases. Since its discovery, many other PCNA binding partners have been identified that function during DNA replication, repair, recombination, chromatin remodeling, cohesion, and proteolysis in cell‐cycle progression. PCNA not only recruits the proteins involved in such events, but it also actively controls their function as chromatin assembles. Therefore, control of PCNA‐loading onto chromatin is fundamental for various replication‐coupled reactions. PCNA is loaded onto chromatin by PCNA‐loading replication factor C (RFC) complexes. Both RFC1‐RFC and Ctf18‐RFC fundamentally function as PCNA loaders. On the other hand, after DNA synthesis, PCNA must be removed from chromatin by Elg1‐RFC. Functional defects in RFC complexes lead to chromosomal abnormalities. In this review, we summarize the structural and functional relationships among RFC complexes, and describe how the regulation of PCNA loading/unloading by RFC complexes contributes to maintaining genome integrity. -

Constituents of the replication fork, such as the DNA polymerase ␣-binding protein Ctf4, contribute to cohesion in ways that are poorly understood. To identify additional cohesion components, we analyzed a ctf4⌬ synthetic lethal screen performed on microarrays. We focused on a subset of ctf4⌬- interacting genes with genetic instability of their own. Our analyses revealed that 17 previously studied genes are also necessary for the maintenance of robust association of sisters in metaphase. Among these were subunits of the MRX complex, which forms a molecular structure similar to Cohesin. Further investigation indicated that the MRX complex did not contribute to metaphase cohesion independent of Cohesin, although an additional role may be contributed by XRS2. In general, results from the screen indicated a sister chromatid cohesion role for a specific subset of genes that function in DNA replication and repair. This subset is particularly enriched for genes that support the S-phase checkpoint.
