DNA repair protein RAD50 is a component of the MRN complex (Mre11-RAD50-Nbs1) responsible for DNA double strand break (DSB) repair.

Cyclization recombination enzyme (Cre) is a member of the extensive family of recombinases and recognizes a 34 bp sequence motif from PI bacteriophage referred to as LoxP. The Cre enzyme works to cleanly excise an intervening DNA fragment that is flanked by two LoxP sites. The LoxP sites must be present in the same orientation. The excised segment is later degraded to leave only a single LoxP site copy in the starting target molecule.

OPA1 belongs to the Dynamin large GTPase protein family. OPA1 exists as a single-pass membrane protein localized in the mitochondrial inner membrane and also as a soluble form in the mitochondrial intermembrane space. There, it is a key player in fusion of the inner mitochondrial membrane as well as maintenance of the cristae architecture. The oligomerization of differentially processed forms of OPA1 directs mitochondrial membrane formation.

Dnmt1 belongs to the C5-methyltransferase family that repairs cytosines in dsDNA using a nucleophilic attack mechanism. Dnmt1 is the most abundant mammalian DNA methyltransferase. It is the key methylation maintenance enzyme for both DNA replication/repair and de novo methylation during somatic cell development and differentiation.

Myc genes (L-Myc, N-Myc and C-Myc) are a family of transcription factors. c-Myc is involved in transcription regulation, apoptosis and cell growth. Mutations in c-Myc have been tied to several cancers.

Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) is a serine/threonine protein kinase that is the master regulator of the DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair pathway. ATM is a key part of the cell cycle machinery that activates checkpoint signaling in response to DSBs, apoptosis, and genotoxic insults. ATM normally exists in its inactive state as a dimer or tetramer - upon DNA damage, it dissociates into monomers triggered by its own autophosphorylation.

Noxa is a pro-apoptotic gene belonging to the Bcl2 protein family that is unique in that it contains only BH3 domain. The BH3-only subclass of proteins, including proteins like PUMA and Bim in addition to Noxa, regulate the remaining Bcl-2 family members.

MTH1 (human MutT Homolog 1) is a purine nucleoside triphosphatase enzyme and belongs to the Nudix hydrolase family. In mammalian systems, MTH is a major detoxifier of the oxidized DNA precursors, 8-oxo-dGTP, 8-oxo-dATP, and 2-OH-dATP and prevents the misincorporation of these purine nucleoside triphosphates into DNA and the subsequent occurrence of A:T pairs to C:G and G:C to T:A pair transversions. The MTH enzyme can also hydrolyze the corresponding ribonucleotides, 8-oxo-GTP, 8-oxo-ATP, and 2-OH-ATP.

IKK beta, also known as IKK2, activates the NFkB complex by phosphorylating the NFkB inhibitor, IkBa. Several transcript variants, some protein-coding and some not, have been found for IKKB. The Nuclear Factor-kappa B (NF-kB) family of transcription factors regulates the expression of a wide range of genes critical for immune and inflammatory responses, cell survival, immune development, and cell proliferation (1). NF-kB was firstly identified by Dr.
