TERRA-LSD1 phase separation promotes R-loop formation for telomere maintenance in ALT cancer cells

Abstract The telomere repeat-containing RNA (TERRA) forms R-loops to promote homology-directed DNA synthesis in the alternative lengthening of telomere (ALT) pathway. Here we report that TERRA contributes to ALT via interacting with the lysine-specific demethylase 1A (LSD1 or KDM1A). We show that LS...
