Abstract excerpt
One of the least well understood DNA repair processes in cells is the repair of DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs) which present a major obstacle to DNA replication and must be repaired or bypassed to allow fork progression. Fanconi anemia (FA) is an inherited genome instability syndrome characterized by hypersensitivity to ICL damage. Central to the FA repair pathway is FANCD2 that is mono-ubiquitylated in...
