Molecular mechanisms of nucleolar DNA damage checkpoint response by Jia Li

Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) is transcribed into RNA in the nucleolus and is often challenged by different stress conditions. However, the underlying mechanisms of nucleolar DNA damage response (DDR) pathways remain elusive. Here, we provide distinct perspectives on how nucleolar DDR checkpoint pathways are activated by different stresses or by liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS).
