POLQ seals post-replicative ssDNA gaps to maintain genome stability in BRCA-deficient cancer cells
<p>POLQ is a key effector of DSB repair by microhomology-mediated end-joining (MMEJ) and is overexpressed in many cancers. POLQ inhibitors confer synthetic lethality in HR and Shieldin-deficient cancer cells, which has been proposed to reflect a critical dependence on the DSB repair pathway by...
