Abstract
While alkylated mRNAs are known to activate ribosome quality control in the cytoplasm, how do cells deal with damaged RNAs in the nucleus? In their current work, Tsao et al. discover a new pathway of RNA damage repair and unexpectedly find that RNA alkylation can induce R-loops and DNA breaks.
