Deskripsi

DNA replication stress drives genome instability and cancer. Here, Ölmezer and colleagues show that the helicase activity of multifunctional enzyme Dna2 suppresses dead-end replication structures that impair chromosome segregation if not removed by Holliday junction resolvase Yen1 in yeast.
