In this issue of Molecular Cell, Kawabata et al. (2011) show that mice hypomorphic for the replication licensing protein Mcm4 show spontaneous DNA replication defects due to a lack of dormant origins, potentially explaining why these mice are cancer-prone.
在本期《分子细胞》中,Kawabata 等人(2011 年)表明,由于缺乏休眠起始点,Mcm4 复制许可蛋白功能减弱的小鼠表现出自发的 DNA 复制缺陷,这可能解释了为什么这些小鼠容易患癌症。
