The replisome, the molecular machine dedicated to copying DNA, encounters a variety of obstacles during S phase. Without a proper response to this replication stress, the genome …
Mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 (BRCA) is synthetic lethal with poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi). Lethality is thought to derive from DNA double-stranded …

Defects in DNA repair and the protection of stalled DNA replication forks are thought to underlie the chemosensitivity of tumors deficient in the hereditary breast cancer genes …
The replication stress response, which serves as an anticancer barrier, is activated not only by DNA damage and replication obstacles but also oncogenes, thus obscuring how cancer …
The inheritance of monoallelic germline mutations affecting BRCA1 or BRCA2 predisposes with a high penetrance to several forms of epithelial malignancy. The large, nuclear …
Since the discovery of the DNA double helix, there has been a fascination in understanding the molecular mechanisms and cellular processes that account for:(i) the transmission of …
A universal response to replication stress is replication fork reversal, where the nascent complementary DNA strands are annealed to form a protective four-way junction allowing …
