DHX9-dependent recruitment of BRCA1 to RNA is required to promote DNA end resection in homologous recombination
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract DExD/H-box helicase 9 (DHX9/RNA helicaseA) is ubiquitously expressed ATP-dependent helicase that unwinds a variety of complex DNA and RNA secondary structures, suggesting it might have a role in DNA replication and the repair of DNA damage. Here we identify a pivotal role for DHX9 in homologous recombination (HR). Cells that are deficient in DHX9 are impaired in the generation of single stranded DNA (ssDNA) by DNA end resection. Consequently these cells fail to recruit RPA and RAD51 to sites of DNA damage and are hypersensitive to treatment with the DNA damaging agents camptothecin and Olaparib. A critical early step in the initiation of HR is the recruitment of BRCA1 mediator protein to DNA damage to promote DNA resection. We show here that recruitment of BRCA1 to DNA damage foci is dependent on its interaction with DHX9 to form the BRCA1-D complex, which binds to nascent RNA. Together our data identify a pivotal role for DHX9 in homologous recombination and highlight the important contribution of RNA in the recruitment of BRCA1 to DNA damage for the repair of DNA breaks

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
