Margie Gillis: The indelible art of an integrated artist
(Dance Chronicle, 2018-05-04) Dickinson, B
This article examines the life and work of Canadian choreographer and performer Margie Gillis, identifying her as an integrated artist and considering her work through perspectives from artists, cognitive scientists, Tibetan Buddhists, and individuals in the medical field who have explored the concept of nonlocality. The essay examines Gillis’s ability to create strong connections between the audience and herself as performer, and posits that this bond results from Gillis’s strongly communicated visual, physical, intellectual, spiritual, and emotional aspects. The artists interviewed and referenced in this paper are Irene Dowd, Risa Steinberg, and, predominantly, Margie Gillis.

PCNA-binding activity separates RNF168 functions in DNA replication and DNA double-stranded break signaling.
(Nucleic acids research, 2024-10) Yang, Yang; Jayaprakash, Deepika; Jhujh, Satpal S; Reynolds, John J; Chen, Steve; Gao, Yanzhe; Anand, Jay Ramanlal; Mutter-Rottmayer, Elizabeth; Ariel, Pablo; An, Jing; Cheng, Xing; Pearce, Kenneth H; Blanchet, Sophie-Anne; Nandakumar, Nandana; Zhou, Pei; Fradet-Turcotte, Amélie; Stewart, Grant S; Vaziri, Cyrus
RNF168 orchestrates a ubiquitin-dependent DNA damage response to regulate the recruitment of repair factors, such as 53BP1 to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). In addition to its canonical functions in DSB signaling, RNF168 may facilitate DNA replication fork progression. However, the precise role of RNF168 in DNA replication remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that RNF168 is recruited to DNA replication factories in a manner that is independent of the canonical DSB response pathway regulated by Ataxia-Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) and RNF8. We identify a degenerate Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen (PCNA)-interacting peptide (DPIP) motif in the C-terminus of RNF168, which together with its Motif Interacting with Ubiquitin (MIU) domain mediates binding to mono-ubiquitylated PCNA at replication factories. An RNF168 mutant harboring inactivating substitutions in its DPIP box and MIU1 domain (termed RNF168 ΔDPIP/ΔMIU1) is not recruited to sites of DNA synthesis and fails to support ongoing DNA replication. Notably, the PCNA interaction-deficient RNF168 ΔDPIP/ΔMIU1 mutant fully rescues the ability of RNF168-/- cells to form 53BP1 foci in response to DNA DSBs. Therefore, RNF168 functions in DNA replication and DSB signaling are fully separable. Our results define a new mechanism by which RNF168 promotes DNA replication independently of its canonical functions in DSB signaling.

Correction to: Scientific Reportshttps://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-54655-z, published online 02 April 2024 The original version of this Article contained errors. In the original version of this article, Ellie Giles was omitted from the Author list. Additionally, the following Affiliation information has been updated: 1. Affiliation 25 was incorrect. Affiliation 25 ‘Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, USA.’ now reads, ‘Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia.’ 2. Marta Giorgis was incorrectly affiliated with the ‘University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen, UK.’ The correct Affiliation is listed below: ‘University of Turin, Turin, Italy.’ 3. Affiliations 52, 125 and 261 were duplicated. As a result, the correct Affiliation for Andrew B. Herr, Benjamin Liou, David A. Hildeman, Joseph J. Maciag, Ying Sun, Durga Krishnamurthy, and Stephen N. Waggoner is: ‘Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, USA.’ Furthermore, an outdated version of Figure 1 was typeset. The original Figure 1 and accompanying legend appear below. (Figure presented.) Pairs of representative compounds extracted from AI patents (right) and corresponding prior patents (left) for clinical-stage programs (CDK792,93, A2Ar-antagonist94,95, MALT196,97, QPCTL98,99, USP1100,101, and 3CLpro102,103). The identical atoms between the chemical structures are highlighted in red. Lastly, The Acknowledgements section contained an error. “See Supplementary section S1.” now reads, “See Supplementary section S2.” The original Article has been corrected.
