The protective role of DOT1L in UV-induced melanomagenesis

The interaction of DOT1L with MLL oncogenic fusion proteins has been implicated in leukemogenesis. Here, the authors show a contrasting role for DOT1L in protecting UVR-induced melanomagenesis by facilitating DNA repair through interaction with XPC.
