EXD2 Protects Stressed Replication Forks and Is Required for Cell Viability in the Absence of BRCA1/2.
(CELL PRESS, 2019-08-08)
Accurate DNA replication is essential to preserve genomic integrity and prevent chromosomal instability-associated diseases including cancer. Key to this process is the cells' ability to stabilize and restart stalled ...
Pathway choice in the alternative telomere lengthening in neoplasia is dictated by replication fork processing mediated by EXD2's nuclease activity.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-04-27)
Telomerase-independent cancer proliferation via the alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) relies upon two distinct, largely uncharacterized, break-induced-replication (BIR) processes. How cancer cells initiate and ...
Branchpoint translocation by fork remodelers as a general mechanism of R-loop removal.
(CELL PRESS, 2022-12-06)
Co-transcriptional R loops arise from stalling of RNA polymerase, leading to the formation of stable DNA:RNA hybrids. Unresolved R loops promote genome instability but are counteracted by helicases and nucleases. Here, we ...
