HMCES Maintains Replication Fork Progression and Prevents Double-Strand Breaks in Response to APOBEC Deamination and Abasic Site Formation

Summary: 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) binding, ES-cell-specific (HMCES) crosslinks to apurinic or apyrimidinic (AP, abasic) sites in single-strand DNA (ssDNA). To determine whether HMCES responds to the ssDNA abasic site in cells, we exploited the activity of apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing enzyme c...
