POLθ prevents MRE11-NBS1-CtIP-dependent fork breakage in the absence of BRCA2/RAD51 by filling lagging-strand gaps
1 Nov 2022
Abstract excerpt
POLθ promotes repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) resulting from collapsed forks in homologous recombination (HR) defective tumors. Inactivation of POLθ results in synthetic lethality with the loss of HR genes BRCA1/2, which induces under-replicated DNA accumulation. However, it is unclear whether POLθ-dependent DNA replication prevents HR-deficiency-associated lethality. Here, we isolated Xenopus laevis...
