SPRTN patient variants cause global-genome DNA-protein crosslink repair defects

DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) are toxic DNA lesions which threaten genome stability. Here, the authors develop a method to track the fate of DPCs in cells and identify a role for the SPRTN protease in replication-independent DPC repair.
