Identification of a Chemotherapeutic Lead Molecule for the Potential Disruption of the FAM72A-UNG2 Interaction to Interfere with Genome Stability, Centromere Formation, and Genome Editing

Family with sequence similarity 72 A (FAM72A) is a pivotal mitosis-promoting factor that is highly expressed in various types of cancer. FAM72A interacts with the uracil-DNA glycosylase UNG2 to prevent mutagenesis by eliminating uracil from DNA molecules through cleaving the N-glycosylic bond and in...
