G-rich regions have the potential to form G4 DNA upon replication, which can lead to genomic instability. FANCJ, a G4 DNA helicase, has been shown to be critical for the stability of regions that match the G4 signature motif by experiments analyzing its nematode homolog.
富含鸟嘌呤(G)的区域在复制时有可能形成G4 DNA,这可能导致基因组不稳定。FANCJ是一种G4 DNA解旋酶,通过分析其线虫同源物的实验表明,它对于与G4特征基序匹配的区域的稳定性至关重要。
