• RNA metabolism guided by RNA modifications: The role of SMUG1 in rRNA quality control 

      Lirussi, Lisa; Demir, Özlem; You, Panpan; Sarno, Antonio; Amaro, Rommie E.; Nilsen, Hilde (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      RNA modifications are essential for proper RNA processing, quality control, and maturation steps. In the last decade, some eukaryotic DNA repair enzymes have been shown to have an ability to recognize and process modified ...
    • SMUG1 Promotes Telomere Maintenance through Telomerase RNA Processing 

      Kroustallaki, Pinelopi; Lirussi, Lisa; Carracedo, Sergio; You, Panpan; Esbensen, Qin Ying; Götz, Alexandra; Jobert, Laure; Alsøe, Lene; Sætrom, Pål; Gagos, Sarantis; Nilsen, Hilde (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Telomerase biogenesis is a complex process where several steps remain poorly understood. Single-strand-selective uracil-DNA glycosylase (SMUG1) associates with the DKC1-containing H/ACA ribonucleoprotein complex, which is ...
    • SMUG1 regulates fat homeostasis leading to a fatty liver phenotype in mice

    • Uracil Accumulation and Mutagenesis Dominated by Cytosine Deamination in CpG Dinucleotides in Mice Lacking UNG and SMUG 

      Alsøe, Lene; Sarno, Antonio; Carracedo Huroz, Sergio; Domanska, Diana Ewa; Dingler, Felix; Lirussi, Lisa; Sengupta, Tanima; Tekin, Nuriye Basdag; Jobert, Laure; Alexandrov, Ludmil B.; Galashevskaya, Anastasia; Rada, Cristina; Sandve, Geir Kjetil; Rognes, Torbjørn; Krokan, Hans Einar; Nilsen, Hilde Loge (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Both a DNA lesion and an intermediate for antibody maturation, uracil is primarily processed by base excision repair (BER), either initiated by uracil-DNA glycosylase (UNG) or by single-strand selective monofunctional ...
