Stabilization of expandable DNA repeats by the replication factor Mcm10 promotes cell viability

Abstract Trinucleotide repeats, including Friedreich’s ataxia (GAA)n repeats, become pathogenic upon expansions during DNA replication and repair. Here, we show that deficiency of the essential replisome component Mcm10 dramatically elevates (GAA)n repeat instability in a budding yeast model by loss...
