The author wants to stress that an important reference has been inadvertently omitted in the appended review. Britton et al. [1] recently documented the local exclusion from laser-or calicheamicin-generated DNA damage of the RNA binding protein SAF-A/hnRNP U together with several partners detected by mass-spectrometry, including TAF15 and FUS/TLS. The exclusion of this set of proteins is uncoupled from their initial poly(ADP-ribose)-dependent recruitment at these sites. In addition, using an original reporter for live imaging of R-loops (a catalytically inactive mutant of bacterial RNAseHI that binds with high affinity to R-loops), they presented several data supporting that the exclusion of these factors is part of a DDR Pi3K-like kinases-dependent mechanism operating at DNA damage sites to prevent R-loops accumulation.
