Mechanistic Understanding of the Role of TRF1 in Telomere Replication
<p>Mammalian telomeres are hard to replicate, and the shelterin subunit TRF1 is important for facilitating the replication of telomeric DNA. Deletion of TRF1 results in several phenotypes that are thought to be associated with telomere replication stress, including ATR signaling, fork stalling, …

ONCOGENE-INDUCED ALTERED DNA REPLICATION DYNAMICS
… leads to DNA replication stress mainly at fragile sites and since telomeres resemble fragile sites, I then demonstrated that oncogene activation impairs telomere replication, by increasing fork stalling at telomeres. This is accompanied by increased fragile telomeres, stochastic telomeric …
