DNA-protein crosslink repair in Arabidopsis

Description

DNA–protein crosslinks (DPCs) are highly toxic DNA lesions characterized by proteins covalently bound to DNA. Persisting DPCs interfere with fundamental cellular processes such as replication and transcription, and they activate the DNA damage response.

The proposed project will focus on characterizing novel DPC repair proteins and understanding the mechanisms of heterochromatic DPC repair in Arabidopsis.
