Transition from Transient DNA Rereplication to Inherited Gene Amplification Following Prolonged Environmental Stress
2023-05-09
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Cells require the ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions, however, it is unclear how these changes elicit stable permanent changes in genomes. We demonstrate that, in response to environmental metal exposure, the metallothionein (MT) locus undergoes DNA rereplication generating transient site-specific gene amplifications (TSSGs). Chronic metal exposure allows transition from MT TS...
