Abstract excerpt
Unrepaired DNA-protein cross-links, due to their bulky nature, can stall replication forks and result in genome instability. Large DNA-protein cross-links can be cleaved into DNA-peptide cross-links, but the extent to which these smaller fragments disrupt normal replication is not clear. Ethylene dibromide (1,2-dibromoethane) is a known carcinogen that can cross-link the repair protein O6-alkylguanine-DNA...
