Highlights d WEE1 activity restricts nascent DNA degradation at stalled replication forks d WEE1 suppresses CDK2 to counteract fork degradation d DNA2 is the nuclease responsible for excessive fork degradation d Neither CHK1 nor p21 promote fork protection as WEE1 does
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
