Proximity labeling identifies a repertoire of site-specific R-loop modulators

R-loops are three-stranded nucleic acid structures that contribute to genome instability and accumulate in neurological diseases. Here the authors identify R-loop proximal factors, which are enriched for zinc finger and homeodomain proteins, including activity-dependent neuroprotective protein (ADNP...

Description
Summary:R-loops are three-stranded nucleic acid structures that contribute to genome instability and accumulate in neurological diseases. Here the authors identify R-loop proximal factors, which are enriched for zinc finger and homeodomain proteins, including activity-dependent neuroprotective protein (ADNP). ADNP plays a role in R-loop resolution and loss-of-function leads to R-loop accumulation.
