  • Our research group and the group of Markus Raeschle have received together with six other scientists a funding from German Research Foundation for a research constortium to study the role between DNA replication defects and mitotic defects. https://www.uni-kl.de/no_cache/pr-marketing/news/news/neue-forschungsgruppe-untersucht-die-instabilitaet-von-chromosomen-und-deren-folgen/

  • New publications: Two studies describing how DNA protein crosslinks are repaired in metazoens have been uploaded to the pre-print server bioarchive:

    Quantitative proteomics identifies RTEL1, an auxilary DNA helicase that steps in to push the replicative helicase MCM passed DNA lesions. https://doi.org/10.1101/381582

    Identification of two independent proteolytic pathways for the replication-coupled degradation of DNA protein crosslinks: SPARTN or the PROTEASOME degrade DNA protein crosslinks to faciltate complete replication of damaged DNA.
