SLX4IP promotes RAP1 SUMOylation by PIAS1 to coordinate telomere maintenance through NF-κB and Notch signaling

NJ Robinson, M Miyagi, JA Scarborough, JG Scott… - Science …, 2021 - science.org
The maintenance of telomere length supports repetitive cell division and therefore plays a
central role in cancer development and progression. Telomeres are extended by either the …

SLX4IP and telomere dynamics dictate breast cancer metastasis and therapeutic responsiveness

NJ Robinson, CD Morrison-Smith… - Life Science …, 2020 - life-science-alliance.org
Metastasis is the leading cause of breast cancer-related death and poses a substantial
clinical burden owing to a paucity of targeted treatment options. The clinical manifestations of …

[HTML][HTML] Telomerase in cancer: function, regulation, and clinical translation

NJ Robinson, WP Schiemann - Cancers, 2022 - mdpi.com

[HTML][HTML] A non-natural nucleotide uses a specific pocket to selectively inhibit telomerase activity

…, B Plucinsky, N Garcia-Vazquez, NJ Robinson… - PLoS …, 2019 - journals.plos.org
Telomerase, a unique reverse transcriptase that specifically extends the ends of linear
chromosomes, is up-regulated in the vast majority of cancer cells. Here, we show that an indole …

Means to the ends: The role of telomeres and telomere processing machinery in metastasis

NJ Robinson, WP Schiemann - … et Biophysica Acta (BBA)-Reviews on …, 2016 - Elsevier
Despite significant clinical advancements, cancer remains a leading cause of mortality
throughout the world due largely to the process of metastasis and the dissemination of cancer …

[HTML][HTML] The role of RNA processing and regulation in metastatic dormancy

KA Parker, NJ Robinson, WP Schiemann - Seminars in cancer biology, 2022 - Elsevier
Tumor dormancy is a major contributor to the lethality of metastatic disease, especially for
cancer patients who develop metastases years-to-decades after initial diagnosis. Indeed, …

[HTML][HTML] Amplification and Quantitation of Telomeric Extrachromosomal Circles

NJ Robinson, WP Schiemann - Bio-protocol, 2023 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Telomeres are structures that cap the ends of linear chromosomes and play critical roles in
maintaining genome integrity and establishing the replicative lifespan of cells. In stem and …

Telomere proteins coordinate intracellular signaling to control telomere maintenance mechanism selection and metastatic recurrence

NJ Robinson, DJ Taylor, WP Schiemann - Cancer Research, 2020 - AACR
The relationship between telomere homeostasis and the development of cancer remains
incompletely understood. In breast cancer (BC), these knowledge gaps are magnified by the …
