Evidence Type(s): Functional
Summary: Mutation: K700E | Summary: The SF3B1 K700E mutation alters molecular function by compromising homologous recombination efficiency, inducing unscheduled R-loop formation, and causing replication fork stalling and degradation. It impacts the resolution of Rad51 foci, decreases sister chromatid exchanges, and affects replication fork restart following a transient replication block, leading to increased basal DNA damage and impaired DNA repair processes.
Evidence Type: Functional Mutation: D210N | Summary: The D210N substitution in RNaseH1 alters its ability to resolve R-loops, leading to their accumulation, which is assessed through fluorescence microscopy.
