Inhibiting the MCM8‐9 complex selectively sensitizes cancer cells to cisplatin and olaparib
16 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
MCM8 and MCM9 are paralogues of the MCM2-7 eukaryotic DNA replication helicase proteins and play a crucial role in a homologous recombination-mediated repair process to resolve replication stress by fork stalling. Thus, deficiency of MCM8-9 sensitizes cells to replication stress caused, for example, by platinum compounds that induce interstrand cross-links. It is suggested that cancer cells undergo more...
