Summary
RNA plays a central role in protein biosynthesis and performs diverse regulatory and catalytic functions, making it essential for all processes of life. Like DNA, RNA is constantly subjected to damage from endogenous and environmental sources. However, while the DNA damage response has been extensively studied, it was long assumed that RNA lesions are relatively inconsequential due to the transient nature of most RNA molecules. Here, we review recent studies that challenge this view by revealing complex RNA damage responses that determine survival when cells are exposed to nucleic acid-damaging agents and promote the resolution of RNA lesions.
