Abstract
Nucleotide excision repair is essential for genome stability; however, enzymatic scissors that remove damage must be tightly regulated to prevent erroneous DNA cleavage. In this issue, Muniesa-Vargas et al. (https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202602121) used live-cell imaging to uncover how cutting DNA by XPG endonuclease is controlled during repair.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Cell Biology (JCB) is a comprehensive journal dedicated to publishing original discoveries across all realms of cell biology. We invite papers presenting novel cellular or molecular advancements in various domains of basic cell biology, along with applied cell biology research in diverse systems such as immunology, neurobiology, metabolism, virology, developmental biology, and plant biology. We enthusiastically welcome submissions showcasing significant findings of interest to cell biologists, irrespective of the experimental approach.
