Abstract
Papers in Molecular Cell and Cell by Xue et al.1 and Tsukuda2 et al., respectively, reveal that DDIAS serves as an essential single-stranded DNA (ssDNA)-binding effector of the CIP2A-TOPBP1 complex that safeguards genome integrity by shielding post-replicative ssDNA lesions during mitosis, with implications for human cancer and neurodevelopment.
期刊介绍:
Molecular Cell is a companion to Cell, the leading journal of biology and the highest-impact journal in the world. Launched in December 1997 and published monthly. Molecular Cell is dedicated to publishing cutting-edge research in molecular biology, focusing on fundamental cellular processes. The journal encompasses a wide range of topics, including DNA replication, recombination, and repair; Chromatin biology and genome organization; Transcription; RNA processing and decay; Non-coding RNA function; Translation; Protein folding, modification, and quality control; Signal transduction pathways; Cell cycle and checkpoints; Cell death; Autophagy; Metabolism.
