Thrilled to share first part of my post-doc work, published today in @science.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... We use reconstituted replication system and cryo-EM to unravel an unexpected mechanism of DNA translocation employed by eukaryotic replicative helicase.

G-quadruplex–stalled eukaryotic replisome structure reveals helical inchworm DNA translocation

DNA G-quadruplexes (G4s) are non–B-form DNA secondary structures that threaten genome stability by impeding DNA replication. To elucidate how G4s induce replication fork arrest, we characterized fork ...
