Changes in degradation efficiencies at the gene and site levels revealed an effect on mRNA accumulation in all comparisons. These changes in degradation efficiencies involved multiple determinants, including mRNA length and translation efficiency. These results suggest that several determinants govern the efficiency of mRNA degradation in plants, helping the organism to adapt to varying conditions by controlling mRNA accumulation.Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is more aggressive than other breast cancer subtypes. TNBC is characterized by increased expression of Programmed Death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), a signal used by many tumors to escape the immune response. Expression of PD-L1 is a positive predictor of response to immunotherapy; therefore, it should be investigated in TNBC in order to select patients who may benefit from anti-PD-L1 therapies. While many PD-L1 assays are available, only the VENTANA platform with the anti-PD-L1 (SP142) antibody is licensed as a companion diagnostic device for selecting patients with metastatic/advanced TNBC who are candidates for treatment with atezolizumab. In this article, we provide a summary of an expert round-table discussion about PD-L1 testing, using the SP142 antibody in metastatic TNBC.DNA damage tolerance relies on homologous recombination (HR) and translesion synthesis (TLS) mechanisms to fill in the ssDNA gaps generated during passing of the replication fork over DNA lesions in the template. Whereas TLS requires specialized polymerases able to incorporate a dNTP opposite the lesion and is error-prone, HR uses the sister chromatid and is mostly error-free. We report that the HR protein Rad52-but not Rad51 and Rad57-acts in concert with the TLS machinery (Rad6/Rad18-mediated PCNA ubiquitylation and polymerases Rev1/Pol ζ) to repair MMS and UV light-induced ssDNA gaps through a non-recombinogenic mechan
