[The post-transcriptional regulation of the DNA damage response].
In response to DNA damage, a complex signaling network called DNA damage response (DDR) would be activated in cells, to arrest the cell cycle and initiate DNA repair. Previous studies were mainly focused on the transcriptional regulation of gene and covalent modification of protein. In recent years, mRNA stability and translation in DDR attracted more and more attention. Emerging evidence suggests that microRNAs and RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) play critical roles in protecting the heritable genome through participating in the regulation of the DNA damage response. In this review, we discuss the most recent findings regarding the post-transcriptional regulation of the DDR by microRNAs and RBPs.
