Unrepaired base excision repair intermediates in template DNA strands trigger replication fork collapse and PARP inhibitor sensitivity
26 Jul 2023
Abstract excerpt
DNA single-strand breaks (SSBs) disrupt DNA replication and induce chromosome breakage. However, whether SSBs induce chromosome breakage when present behind replication forks or ahead of replication forks is unclear. To address this question, we exploited an exquisite sensitivity of SSB repair-defective human cells lacking PARP activity or XRCC1 to the thymidine analogue 5-chloro-2'-deoxyuridine (CldU). We show...
