Cryo-EM uncovers a sequential mechanism for RNA polymerase I pausing and stalling at abasic DNA lesions
Abstract During synthesis of the ribosomal RNA precursor, RNA polymerase I (Pol I) monitors DNA integrity but its response to DNA damage remains poorly studied. Abasic sites are among the most prevalent DNA lesions in eukaryotic cells, and their detection is critical for cell survival. We report cry...
