Abstract excerpt
In this issue, the Gabrielli laboratory and collaborators address the bulky CPD lesions created in DNA when UV joins two adjacent pyrimidines (thymine or cytosine), leading to skin cancers such as melanoma (Pavey S et al. (2019) Mol Oncol). Our understanding of postreplication repair mechanisms for bulky lesions has lagged, and the newly reported predominance of translational control in the UV response has...
