Deskripsi

Fernandes et al. discover a connection between the mitochondrial stress response and genomic stability. They find that transcription of common fragile site (CFS) genes is induced by mitochondrial stress, whereas a regulator of CFS stability, FANCD2, acts to dampen the mitochondrial stress response and transcription-associated replication stress. These findings suggest a FANCD2-mediated coordination of nuclear and mitochondrial responses to stress.
