Abstract excerpt
FANCM is a DNA repair protein that recognizes stalled replication forks, and recruits downstream repair factors. FANCM activity is also essential for the survival of cancer cells that utilize the Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres (ALT) mechanism. FANCM efficiently recognizes stalled replication forks in the genome or at telomeres through its strong affinity for branched DNA structures. In this study, we...
