A recent study[1] has revealed that FEN1 (Flap Endonuclease 1) is critical for the rapid repair of single-strand DNA breaks (SSBs) during the G1 phase of the cell cycle. SSBs are essentially nicks in one DNA strand, which can interfere with transcription or cause genome instability if not repaired fast. When cells are not yet dividing, FEN1 becomes the dominant repair pathway, ensuring that DNA integrity is safeguarded even before replication begins.
We are proud that our signature expertise in nucleotide chemistry contributed to the success of this study by Burdova et al.[1]. In their sSTRIDE assay, they incorporated biotinylated nucleotides from Jena Bioscience (Biotin-7-dATP, Biotin-16-dCTP, Biotin-16-dUTP and dGTP) to visualize and track DNA repair processes in living cells.
