Have you ever wondered how cells respond to DNA damage in the middle of mitosis? I'm delighted to share with you our latest publication, now out in @CellReports @CellPressNews A brief thread about this story 👇🏼🧵. (1/11). cell.com/cell-reports/fullte…

RNF126 and BRAP safeguard genome integrity after DNA damage in late mitosis

Ayra-Plasencia et al. identify ATM-dependent upregulation of RNF126 and BRAP protein levels upon irradiation in late anaphase/telophase. These E3 ligases are required for the DNA damage response and...

Our latest publication by @Jessel_ap is out in @CellReports. We show that DNA damage in late mitosis triggers an ATM-dependent increase in RNF126 and BRAP, which promote cell survival under these conditions. With help from @RFreireLab. doi.org/10.1016/j.celrep.202…
