DDX11 loss causes replication stress and pharmacologically exploitable DNA repair defects
20 Apr 2021
Abstract excerpt
Significance Replication stress can affect development and is a hallmark of cancers. Warsaw breakage syndrome is a developmental disorder caused by mutations in the conserved DDX11 DNA helicase. Here, using human cellular models of DDX11 deficiency, we report that DDX11 helicase prevents replication stress and mediates homology-directed repair via homologous recombination. Mechanistically, DDX11 promotes...
