Abstrakt: For cells, it is important to repair DNA damage, such as double-strand and single-strand DNA breaks, because unrepaired DNA can compromise genetic integrity, potentially leading to cell death or cancer. Cells have multiple DNA damage repair pathways that have been the subject of detailed genetic, biochemical, and structural studies. Recently, the scientific community has started to gain evidence that the repair of DNA double-strand breaks may occur within biomolecular condensates and that condensates may also contribute to DNA damage through concentrating genotoxic agents used to treat various cancers. Here, we summarize key features of biomolecular condensates and note where they have been implicated in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks. We also describe evidence suggesting that condensates may be involved in the repair of other types of DNA damage, including single-strand DNA breaks, nucleotide modifications (e.g., mismatch and oxidized bases), and bulky lesions, among others. Finally, we discuss old and new mysteries that could now be addressed considering the properties of condensates, including chemoresistance mechanisms.
