CircXYLT1 suppresses oxidative stress and promotes vascular remodeling in aging mice carotid artery injury model of atherosclerosis via PTBP1 by Gang Li, Donghui Li, Yajing Li, Bingqi Liu

“…Knockdown of CircXYLT1 increased oxidative stress and reduced antioxidant protein expression (SOD, GPX), while overexpression led to decreased oxidative damage and enhanced vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation. Mechanistically, CircXYLT1 interacted with PTBP1, reducing its nuclear localization and modulating downstream chemokine signaling pathways. …”

The Role of PCNA Posttranslational Modifications in Translesion Synthesis by Montaser Shaheen, Ilanchezhian Shanmugam, Robert Hromas

“…Translesion synthesis is a special pathway that enables the replication fork to bypass blocking lesions. Proliferative Cell Nuclear Antigen (PCNA), which is an essential component of the fork, undergoes posttranslational modifications, particularly ubiquitylation and sumoylation that are critical for lesion bypass and for filling of DNA gaps which result from this bypass. …”
