Ubiquitin-mediated DNA damage response is synthetic lethal with G-quadruplex stabilizer CX-5461

Abstract CX-5461 is a G-quadruplex (G4) ligand currently in trials with initial indications of clinical activity in cancers with defects in homologous recombination repair. To identify more genetic defects that could sensitize tumors to CX-5461, we tested synthetic lethality for 480 DNA repair and g...
