Inhibition of lagging strand replication by G-rich telomeric DNA and the shelterin subunit POT1

Ciara Leonard-Booker, Giulia Mazzucco, Charlotte E L Fisher…·Max E. Douglas

This study investigates how telomeres impede replication by showing G-rich DNA and shelterin subunit POT1 block lagging strand replication, with POT1 causing Okazaki fragment skipping and large single-stranded gaps.

ATRX safeguards cellular identity during C. elegans development

Janie C Olver, Mariya Shtumpf, Karim Hussain…·Helder C. Ferreira

This study shows that XNP-1, the C. elegans homologue of ATRX, maintains cellular identity by preventing ectopic germline gene expression, and its loss leads to developmental defects.
