[original title] Chromosome replication initiates at multiple replicons and terminates when forks converge. In Escherichia coli, the Tus-TER complex mediates polar fork converging at the terminator re
DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) are abundant DNA lesions, which constantly challenge genome stability by interfering with DNA replication. SPARTAN (SPRTN) protease plays a central role in DPCs repair in
5-Formyluracil (5fU) is a vital DNA modification that widely presents in cells and organisms. A unique feature of 5fU is the presence of a potentially reactive aldehyde group in its structure, which c
