Abstract excerpt
The molecular events occurring following the disruption of DNA replication forks are poorly characterized, despite extensive use of replication inhibitors such as hydroxyurea in the treatment of malignancies. Here, we identify a key role for the FBH1 helicase in mediating DNA double-strand break formation following replication inhibition. We show that FBH1-deficient cells are resistant to killing by hydroxyurea,...
