Figure 4. DNA-protein cross-link repair by replication-coupled proteolysis.

Figure 4

A replication fork stalls when it encounters a DNA-protein crosslink (DPC). This stalling can be relieved by the degradation of the DPC to a peptide by a replication-dependent protease. A potential candidate for this protease is DVC1, which has homology to the yeast DPC protease Wss1.
