p53-dependent R-loop formation and HPV pathogenesis
23 Aug 2023
Abstract excerpt
R-loops are trimeric RNA: DNA hybrids that are important physiological regulators of transcription; however, their aberrant formation or turnover leads to genomic instability and DNA breaks. High-risk human papillomaviruses (HPV) are the causative agents of genital as well as oropharyngeal cancers and exhibit enhanced amounts of DNA breaks. The levels of R-loops were found to be increased up to 50-fold in cells...
