DNA replication proceeds through specialised structures known as replication forks, where parental duplex DNA is unwound and copied. The faithful progression and stability of these forks are essential ...
University of Iowa-led study has revealed the unexpected structure adopted by the DNA repair protein RAD52 as it binds and protects replicating DNA in dividing cells. A University of Iowa-led study ...
Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have developed a new imaging method, known as RF-SIRF, that quantitatively detects and maps reversed DNA replication forks with ...
In turn, this slowed new DNA synthesis at replication forks, structures in which double strands of DNA separate to begin the copying process. The cells' attempt to restart the stalled replication fork ...
A representative figure showing that HELQ-deficient cells fail to undergo normal fork slowing after MMC (a crosslinking agent) treatment, consistent with defective fork reversal. Every time a cell ...
Embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent stem cells that can produce all cell types of an organism. ES cells proliferate rapidly and have been thought to experience high levels of intrinsic ...
A University of Iowa-led study has revealed the unexpected structure adopted by the DNA repair protein RAD52 as it binds and protects replicating DNA in dividing cells. This new structural and ...
A cancer drug target already being investigated in clinical trials turns out to be doing something even more consequential than researchers realized. Scientists at Scripps Research have discovered ...
