Abstract excerpt
DNA triplex structures can block the replication fork and result in double-stranded DNA breaks (DSBs). RecQ and RecG helicases may be important for replication of such sequences as RecQ resolves synthetic triplex DNA structures and RecG mediates replication restart by fork regression. Primer extension on an 88 bp triplex-forming polypurine.polypyrimidine (Pu.Py) tract from the PKD1 gene demonstrated that RecQ,...
