Targeting DNA Repair with Combined Inhibition of NHEJ and MMEJ Induces Synthetic Lethality in <i>TP53</i> -Mutant Cancers
16 Aug 2022
Abstract excerpt
DNA repair pathway inhibitors are a new class of anticancer drugs that are advancing in clinical trials. Peposertib is an inhibitor of DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK), which is a key driver of nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ). To identify regulators of response to peposertib, we performed a genome-wide CRISPR knockout screen and found that loss of POLQ (polymerase theta, POLθ) and other genes in the...
