Structural basis for a Polθ helicase small-molecule inhibitor revealed by cryo-EM
Abstract DNA polymerase theta (Polθ) is a DNA helicase-polymerase protein that facilitates DNA repair and is synthetic lethal with homology-directed repair (HDR) factors. Thus, Polθ is a promising precision oncology drug-target in HDR-deficient cancers. Here, we characterize the binding and mechanis...
