A huge thanks to Ryo Fujisawa for joining our JC this week! Ryo's formidable work on TTF2 from his recent article "TTF2 drives mitotic replisome disassembly and MiDAS by coupling the TRAIP ubiquitin ligase to Polε" was enlightening. Great scientific discussion! Ryo's work doi.org/10.1101/2024...

doi.orgTTF2 drives mitotic replisome disassembly and MiDAS by coupling the TRAIP ubiquitin ligase to PolεMammalian cells frequently enter mitosis before DNA replication has finished, necessitating the rapid processing of replication forks to facilitate chromosome segregation.
